from great yarmouth Date Reviewed: February 22, 2011 Strengths: they hold the wheel on Weaknesses: brand new bike rode 21 miles jumped off 2 curbs pulled 3 wheelies and the forks siezed, been told the lockout is purely for tarmac dont even jump off a curb with it on. my sons non branded forks lasted longer. the travel and damping was very soft like soggy mush. the preload did nothing. as its new they are being replaced, but with the same type, now i fear i will be frightened to use them. and to add insult to injoury the replacement ordered from spec come with annoying Vbrake posts, and i have to like it or lump it. i may have had the bad luck of a one off bad fork but i doubt it i have read many other people have had the same problems Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Bike Setup: GT, hardtail shimano diore, and hydolic discs

from Philippines Date Reviewed: March 15, 2007 Strengths: I have the 120mm travel year 2007 version. Most of the XCRs that came out in my country are 100mm. Lucky i found a 120mm which is really rare. Nice color and design. Lite but durable. With its 120mm travel and adjusting the knobs correctly i can do less than 6 feet jumps. This fork has smooth rebound and absorbs 3 inch bumps really nice. I usually use it for XC, downhill and sometimes since its lite i also do freeride with this kick ass fork. I use to have a Manitou Axel, after a month of use it became so slugish. Now i'm trying the XCR and i am very satified its cheap on the pocket. Weaknesses: None yet. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $55.00 Purchased At: Cartimar (coolest place to hunt for bike parts) Similar Products Used: Manitou Axel elite Bike Setup: Cloned K2 aluminum frame, Shimano Deore XT hubs, XT front & rear derailleurs, Deore Shift lever & break levers, XT V breaks, Deore cassette, Alex Rims, Kenda Cortez 2.4 tires, Zoom saddle post, FSA stem, FSA headset and spacers, FSA handlebar, FSA crankset.
