Strengths:
Tough fork, all adjustments are functioning well
Weaknesses:
none so far
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Fuji 29er Comp
Bottom Line:
This is a good upgrade for the built in 29er bikes available in the market, it's the mid range model affordable yet durable. It will do the purpose of a good 29er XC/trail fork without hassle. All adjustments functions well, the performance is not as far as higer end forks. I recommend this fork for those who want to upgrade the fork without the pain in the wallet.
