from Irvine, CA, USA Date Reviewed: September 22, 2008
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Strengths:
Plush, very stiff structure, low maintenance!
Weaknesses:
Would like to see a seperate low and high speed compression knob instead of just one knob doing it all.
Heavier than a fox 40, boxxer etc.
Similar Products Used:
Fox 40, 888 ATA, etc.
Bike Setup:
08 Demo 8 II, rocco wc rear shock
Bottom Line:
This fork is amazing! I have really put this thing to the test with 10 foot flat landings at 215 lbs, all the double blacks at mammoth, etc. Keeps a straight line through the nastiest high speed rock gardens, drops, jumps and anything you throw at it.
This fork is very low maintenance, more sensitive than my old 40 and does not bottom as easily as the 40. Also, I am never worried that I will puncture the lowers like the 40. Get it and you wont be sorry.
