from cheshire, england Date Reviewed: September 12, 2010 Strengths: super stiff forks, that go where u point them quick travel adjust quick release is easy. Weaknesses: on my original lowers i tightened the allen key bolts on the quick release to tight and cracked them. had the lowers replaced with the new quick release and they've been great since. Also they need regular service (oil changed every 4 months if u ride 2-3 times a week. The stickiness that is a problem with fox is easily sorted by buying some fork lube off fox and by smearing on the stanchions before and after riding it stops this and makes them really plush Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: innerleithen xc Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: came with 07 nomad Similar Products Used: revelations uturn Bike Setup: Had them on 2 bikes, nomad and chameleon.

from uk Date Reviewed: September 1, 2009 Strengths: Adjust-ability, very plush, easy to service (cleaning and changing bath oil not a full service, IL leave that to the experts) good tracking and stiff. Weaknesses: the only thing i dont like is that the compression damping is on the bottom of the leg, id rather have the rebound at the bottom and the compression dampening at the top, no biggie. i do believe they have done this for the new 2010 version so if your gonna get one id wait for the new ones to arrive.
