from duvall wa usa Date Reviewed: February 5, 2012 Strengths: Adjustable 100,120 and 140mm. Plus and reliable. Correct pressure settings are a bit lower then a more expensive fork but once set up correctly performs very well for xc and all mountain riding. A little choppy but can't beat the performance for the price point. Excellent product and well worth the money! Weaknesses: Could use compression dampaning. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Fun Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $200.00 Purchased At: online... Similar Products Used: Rock shox, fox Bike Setup: Commencal meta 55, x7/x9 drivetrain, rp2 shock, epicon 140mm, easton havoc am wheels,juicy brakes.

from Philippines Date Reviewed: May 11, 2008 Strengths: - Air System = Awesome! Absorbs Medium to Big bumps very well. - Hydraulic Remote speed-lock = Works effeciently - Rebound adjust = Very accurate Weaknesses: - Nothing major. I just noticed that it does not absorb small bumps well, which was very much highlighted by other users at 2007 EPICON review. Adjustment to the PSI might do the trick. - Bling factor?! WHO CARES! This fork works GREAT for the budget to performance ratio.

from London Date Reviewed: January 5, 2008 Strengths: I have used this fork for 6 months to present, the fork is still working as if it was brand new. Works great. The chamber for the air is strong, damping and rebound is great. Watch out marzocchi, manitou and fox coz Sr Suntour will clame a spot on the most trusted forks. I'm from europe I go to whistler often and I use this Sr Suntour fork epicon many times in Whistler. A guy in this review said this fork never gives up, it just goes anywhere. i agree on that. Weaknesses: none. just check the air pressure according to your weight and everything will be all fine. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: whistler park Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: marzocchi, fox, manitou Bike Setup: Ellsworth and Kona frame. Sram comp and shimano comp. Race face for my ellsworth and Fsa for my kona. WTB moto raptor Tires and mavic rims.
