    Submitted by Francis Boner a Cross Country Rider from Portland, OR, USA
    Date Reviewed: May 20, 2008
    Favorite Trail:McKenzie River Trail
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $1000.00
    Purchased At:Friend in industry
    Strengths:Adjustable travel from 120mm to 160mm, super stiff, nice fit and finish, high end componentry, nice graphics, super plush, remote is fantastic and Magura is wonderful for support.
    Weaknesses:Heavy around 5.5 lbs.
    Similar Products Used:Talas 36RC2, Lyric 2step air, Marzocchi 55ATA(08).
    Bike Setup:Foes FXR(08)w/curnutt air can, wotan 120-160, chris king headset, thomson stem, easton ea 70 bar, hayes stroker trail 7" brakes(08), mavic crossmax xl wheels, continental vertical pro 2.3 tires, sram x.o drivetrain, shimano xt crankset with bashguard. (black frame-medium) (30lbs)
    Bottom Line:Fork is bomb proof and works way better than the Fox fork and the Lyric but is on par with the Marzocchi ATA 165mm and has a similar spring curve. I borrowed the Marzocchi from my friends new 08 commencal frame and loved the fork but he suggested the new Magura Wotan and I love it. It is just as stiff as the Lyric but smoother through its travel and simpler to use. The dials are easy to use and the maxel like the Lyric is simple to use. Thanks Magura.
