Date Reviewed: July 27, 2009 | | Favorite Trail: | anything with singletrack | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Came with the bike | | Strengths: | Stiff & Strong - does what you want it to without much fanfare.
Many ways to adjust it. | | Weaknesses: | To hard to tweak " just right".
Cannot get all 5 inches of travel.
Many ways to adjust it.
Not as smooth as it could be. | | Similar Products Used: | Duke XC - Headshok Fatty and Lefty's.
Magura Marathon | | Bike Setup: | Giant Trance XO | | Bottom Line: | I loved the control and confidence that this stout fork gives.
But you can never get all 5 inches to be usable.
Setting it up to be "Just right" is a painstaking process , unless your lucky. Travel action is not as smooth as it could be. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 17, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | FFC | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | Incline Sports | | Strengths: | FOX. I like FOX forks, the compression stroke does feel better than my 2006 RLC but still not great. I have the RLC on the way back from PUSH so it's going on the new bike soon. | | Weaknesses: | Still can't get that last inch of travel, | | Bike Setup: | 2008 Trance X0 | | Bottom Line: | It does the job well, but if you want it better send it to PUSH. I will know better after riding my PUSH'd RLC. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 26, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | J-Bar , East Burke VT | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | Great Tune-ability. Rebound, Air setting, Lockout for climbing. The lockout is really easy to manage, as is the rebound adjustment. I am a solid 200lbs and have come out of some big holes that my old shock would have launched me on. | | Weaknesses: | maybe a bit heavy?? | | Similar Products Used: | Rock Shock Judy Race | | Bike Setup: | Giant Trance X0, stock | | Bottom Line: | Great Rig!! Full five inches of trail busting equipment. Easy to set up, and adjust, on the trail. No leaks, yet. Nice fit and finish on the unit, looks durable.
This is part of the Giant Maestro suspension system, matched up with a Fox rear shock.
This unit comes stock on many of the '08 5" XC bikes. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
