from Brisbane, Qld, Australia Date Reviewed: July 12, 2011 Strengths: Worked okay at best Weaknesses: Plastic coil preload adjuster failed, resulting in the coil and various other internal parts launching out of the fork leg, nearly hitting me in the face. Also required returning to Rock Shox after about 3 rides because the rebound damping just stopped working. Lots of stiction. Heavy. Not very stiff.

Bike Setup: New old stock 2007 Specialized FSR XC

from Provo UT Date Reviewed: September 3, 2009 Strengths: At first it seemed great, super plush, nice U turn adjustable travel for a variety of trail conditions, overall a great fork... at first. Weaknesses: After only ONE HOUR of having the fork installed on my bike, riding ON THE ROAD to show it to a friend, the rebound adjuster cap SHOT OFF THE FORK, spraying oil everywhere. I couldn't believe my eyes. There was no impact, I wasn't even on the bike at the time. Luckily RockShox has a warranty, but what a hassle! Now I'm stuck waiting for the local shop to get the new parts in from SRAM, but Labor Day weekend in sundance is now ruined, which was the whole point of buying the fork in the first place. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Sundance Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $265.00 Purchased At: Taylors Bike Shop Similar Products Used: Marzocchi, Manitou, Fox, good stuff etc Bike Setup: Fisher Tass custom build XT Avid etc

from Ottawa, ON, Canada Date Reviewed: March 24, 2008 Strengths: Lots of travel for big hits and big obstacles. Never bottoms out (and I'm 6'5 and 240lbs... although I'm going to be getting an extra stiff spring assembly this season). Great rebound adjustments. Great customer service. I had the fork sent to the factory and rebuilt and back on my bike in a week and a half (not bad, considering the international shipping and whatnot). Weaknesses: Something on them seems to break or go wrong with them in the first month (from what I've read and seen for myself). My fork lost all of its damping oil when I was messing around and did a stoppie that went too far, i fell over and the fork rebounded with no resistance. The oil got all over my break pads and it was a big pain in the ass. After they get a factory re-build they seem to be fine and it should all be covered under warranty (depending on what happened, under what circumstances...). Really heavy. Would not recommend it for cross country. Thats why it came with my dirt jumper!
