Bottom Line:
I have tried pretty much every race fork except the DT Swiss, Magura and White Bros. Fox is the best of the best. Both rear shoks and forks are tried tested and true--you can pound the snot out of them, and they never let you down. Don't know what else to say but they are the best XC race fork. When you buy a Fox fork--you get what you pay for.

Light weight (1422g). Easy set-up (steerer easy to cut with pipe-cutter, supplied and on-line documentation very good). Neat clip for hose. Works beautifully. Looks great, esp. in white!
Weaknesses:
None apparent as yet. Some way from the inexpensive end of the price scale!

None.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
This is a plush fork that has a wide range of adjustments; it took me about three rides to dial it in after reading the documentation supplied on the DVD. Now when I'm riding I feel like I'm one with the bike.
I can't come up with a single improvement suggestion. This is an awesome fok.
