Date Reviewed: June 28, 2010

Strengths:    I have the 1.5 version, takes more to steer than if using the regular ones. Very beefy and can take a few drops without vomiting out the air like older air forks. The stanchions are 35mm so its pretty stiff on the cornering-- a plus.

Weaknesses:    this is the cheap 66 so I cant complain about more adjustments

Bottom Line:   
This is a good fork, kinda of a dummy fork with a few adjustments, but its a pitbull fork. Not real smart but gets the job done. Its legs are fatter than most on the market and its weight saving---if you want to go there, is that its air sprung. Buy one, set the rebound and air and forget it.

Date Reviewed: April 13, 2010

Strengths:    Insanely stiff, very plush over small bumps and rocks but can soak up bigger hits and drops perfectly even though I weigh 220 pounds

Weaknesses:    They are pretty heavy

Bottom Line:   
Love them, they work great (far exceed the rear suspension) and didn't cost an arm and a leg
