Tea Creek Mtn, Slatyfork WV
Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$500.00
Purchased At:
online
Strengths:
no bob at all. Stiff and tracks extremely well. Air sprung but feels more like a coil fork. IMV is very easy to dial in and the fork stay responsive even when set to remain extended while out of the saddle. The manufacturing quality is superior to any fork I've owned to date.
Weaknesses:
- Being picky but I'd like the Stanchions should be covered.
- if your quick release pops, the front wheel might fall out...Very shallow safety channels.
- everyone will want to try your bike.... :/

Bike Setup:
Niner Air Frame. King/Stans Wheels. WB Magic 29/100 Fork. Raceface HS, Stem, SP, Cranks, Next Bar. 959 SPDs. SRAM X.9. Avid BB7 & SD-SL Brakes. Maxxis Ignitor Tires.
Bottom Line:
Great fork if you like a stable platform and don't like to waste time dialing it in. I'm going to buy one for my 26er...hope my wife doesn't read this...
