Date Reviewed: September 22, 2008

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.


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.

Strengths:    Forks is sweet, havent done anything big with it yet but it is smooth and responsive.

Weaknesses:    None so far

Bottom Line:   
If you have the extra cash i would go for it , + the springs are supposed to last a lot longer then they regular steel ones. And the nickel coated stantions look really sweet too.

Strengths:    everything. this fork is soooooooo plush and feels amazing. if you have the money to get this then it is well worth it. im so happy i did so and it deffinately makes a difference

Weaknesses:    i rode for one day and the cable rubbed a 1 mm deep mark in the fork! 1 day

Bottom Line:   
this fork is awesome except that it has a huge cable rub mark on the top stancion in between the crowns. not a big deal but i rode for only 1 day.
