Strengths: Plush, adjustable, good amount of travelWeaknesses: Rebound adjustment knob falls out. Expensive to rebuild.Bottom Line: Rebound knob fell off during a ride and is no longer adjustable. The fork now feels no better than a Jett. Estimated to cost over $100 for parts for the rebuild (over $30 for the part to control rebound).
Favorite Trail: Mt Beacon

Strengths: Weight, poplocWeaknesses: None so farBottom Line: I bought this fork to lighten my bike. It has the best price to weight ratio.
It's a nice fork for cross-country use and it can take a little abuse from time to time.
I found it quite hard when inflated to the required pressure.

Strengths: Smooth travel, ease of ajustibility, effective ajustibility, lock out, light.Weaknesses: Requires extensive maintenence, slightly to linear, odd instruction manual with limited/vauge information.Bottom Line: This fork is smooth, functional, and ajustible. I would personaly like a slightly more progressive fork so that I could still run the soft presures for the small bump absorbtion, but not bottom on the more harsh hits. Other than that, a better manual would be welcomed, as the current one is incomplete, and almost incorrect about what some of the settings do.
Overall a good smooth fork for xc and xc trail use.

Strengths: Easy to tune, pop loc, weightWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: This is an outstanding fork! I ride some pretty nasty stuff, and this fork keeps on going. Pop-loc is a great feature. I use it on every ride. The fork is easy to adjust, and I have not had any problems at all. It does not leak air. Highly recommended.

Strengths: Ligth, very stong, lock out remote control, suitable for long dirves, suitable for downhill but not fot downhill monsters:)Weaknesses: a bit heavier than some othersBottom Line: Ýt is very suitable for everybody, I know that people using this fork will enjoy their bikes more and more.
Rock Shox is the best suspension company I think.
it is a bit heavier but if you are using a bit hard, than it is absolutely for you.
Thanks Rock Shox...

Strengths: Light, ease of adjustment. Quick break-in.Weaknesses: None known. I hear it flexes more than a Fox fork... malarky.Bottom Line: I run this at 140psi in pos. and neg. chambers, floodgate tight. Only ridden in super cold, so the springrate (air pressure) was probably a bit low while the damping rate (oil business) was probably high. The fork was very surprisingly stable - floated me over many many frozen ruts, kept them completely off of my mind. Isn't that what this thing is for? I went fast.

Strengths: Its plush, easy to adjust, I like the poplock. It is also very stiff. Most of all, for my needs it tracks really well!Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: I know it's heavier than SID but then again I am 90kgs and I don't like my bike to flex were it should't. It's a new addition to my bike but up to now it is very good. Let's just see how it holds up against time. I do have a tendency to rip bikes apart.

Strengths: +/- ability to dampen compression via two way air pressure.Weaknesses: Durability, even in moderate but agressive "trail use".Bottom Line: Like to see better durability out of the shock. Mine basically needed a full service right at the one year mark after it was discovere to be leaking oil.
