I dont remember
Strengths:
This fork is amazing. It's extremely versatile as it has handled everything from park to light fr to swapping in for my fox vanilla during a rebuild. This fork is light and insanely strong. It has held up to 15+ foot drops and casing 40 foot doubles. I've got more than two years on this fork and I will replace it with the same fork, if I ever need to.
Weaknesses:
Nothing that I can think of.
Similar Products Used:
fox 32 vanilla, fox 36 talas float and vanilla, manitou something or other.
Bike Setup:
custom simple dj 509 frame, fsa gravity dh crankset, dirty dog rotors with juicy 5's, tbc revolution wheelset, sram x-9 drivetrain.
Bottom Line:
This fork is amazing and will not let you down. I weigh 100 pounds and it works great for me. I've put the guy who builds my frames on my bikes who is 250+ and its so adjustable that we can dial it in for him. My frame on one of my bikes failed after two insane years of abuse and this fork isn't showing any signs of wear. If you are a dj, 4x, park rider this is definately the fork to buy.
