from Cardiff, UK Date Reviewed: August 9, 2011 Strengths: Feels quite nice when it works, Weaknesses: Reliability. Oh my god its awful. I just sent it in the third time, but to be honest, in between repairs it has never given anywhere near full travel. It has collapsed on me twice, once in a nasty way on a trail. I don't ride so hard so this is really a joke. It weighs a tonne for an air with such crap reliability. The travel adjust is infamously bad compared to lyric or talas, it hurts your fingers so you end up trying to avoid using it. Not to mention it is horrible at 120mm. Skip this lemon. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: meh, whatever, new things are always good Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Purchased At: came with bike Similar Products Used: lyrik u turn coil Bike Setup: Norco Fluid LT 2

from Fort Collins, CO Date Reviewed: May 10, 2009 Strengths: Marketing value: It looks like you get alot for your $ Weaknesses: Reliability. You'll never get full travel AND the ATA feature will eventually break, like in a week or so. Junk. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Colorado Trail, each part rips. Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $650.00 Purchased At: Jenson USA Similar Products Used: Fox Talas - go buy one. Its worth the extra $, as you don;t have to pay 50$ to warranty it( as marz. requires) and you don't have to live without your bike for months!! Bike Setup: BLur LT

from Denver,CO Date Reviewed: August 26, 2008 Strengths: stiff and plush. Comparable to oil when it works. Weaknesses: It doesn't work that often. I've had the fork for 4 months and ride twice a week. Since I've had it, it has been back to Marz. twice. First time loweer TST cartridge was flipped, second time they didn't know what was wrong with it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Apex Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: Marz. All-Mountain-1. Problems with that one too. Fox 36...this shock is reliable, but doesn't feel as good as the 55 (when the 55 works). Bike Setup: Norco Fluid LT

from newcastle, uk Date Reviewed: July 3, 2008 Strengths: feel and work very well when they work and very stiff for a single crown big travel fork. Weaknesses: well, when i first got them they had to be sent back to have the tst2 rebled as it had to much oil in causing reduced travel, the ata winds its self down on long runs, ive had an air lock in the air spring and now the rebound/tst2 cart has broken which isnt supprising seeing how thin the metal is and how deep they have cut the thread.
