Strengths: It worked for 6 months and matched color of bike.Weaknesses: Poor construction, travel, strength and the crown broke after a minor crash and 3100 miles logged on the bike.Bottom Line: I realize that I have ridden through snow rain and shine for six months five days a week, but I never expected that the forks would split after a short period of time.
If you are only riding now and again, you might find satisfaction with this fork. However, I do not have hills and rocks to hop, simply patrolling the campus and avoiding being hit by vehicles.

Strengths: Good response at all speeds, preload works fine if properly maintainedWeaknesses: No lockoutBottom Line: This is a fine fork if it is used as it's intended. Many of the reviews here are very aggressive riders' reviews of this fork, and they are critical because it failed on them. This form was not designed for aggressive riding. If you're like me and tackle rough roads and medium duty trails this fork is what the doctor ordered. It's easy to adjust, and as long as it's maintained and adjusted properly, it should give you no trouble.

Strengths: noneWeaknesses: squeeking spring , Loose knobs that won't turn easily ,No rebound at all , very bouncy en nervous .Heavy fork with lot of flex and no adjustment at all .Bottom Line: Don't buy this fork as an upgrade it is a waist of your money .My fork is making al lot of strange noises and isn't up for the job only for looks .The epicon/Axon range is worth the buying the XC series is crap .

Strengths: decent for the bike paths around hereWeaknesses: not much to adjust thatmakes a difference...small stroke...should be 100mm at least would have been nice, but it came with the bikeBottom Line: great for starters but with the agressive trail im riding these are not that great in the rocks or any drops. perfect for the bike paths or smooth singletrack. if youre serious about the ruff stuff better upgrade quick, i will be doing just that...

from United statesDate Reviewed: February 3, 2008
Strengths: Matches my bike,
absorbs minor bumpsWeaknesses: Adjustment doesn't work that great.
Bottoms out easy
Either to stiff or to weak, adjustment isn't very inbetween
The knob is very hard to turnBottom Line: I'm only using it because it came with my bike.
I'm already looking for another fork to upgrade with.
It'll be a while though, so I guess this fork will have to do.
Its only 80mm, and it just doesn't impress me with its performances.
Don"t go out an buy this fork, but if it comes with the bike it will suffice until you upgrade.
For the road it will work around the city for those speed bumbs, curbs and pot holes, but I'm not impressed for off roading.
