from Vancouver, BC Date Reviewed: November 12, 2009 Strengths: Helped keep the price of my bike low, and works fine as an entry-level fork. This fork is strong enough for single track and gives confidence enough. Many times I despised this fork for it's ride performance, but in the end I at least appreciate that it has lasted me for about 50 rides so far without trouble. Weaknesses: The travel-motion leaves a lot to be desired. On extended downhill sections, it tends to suck down through the travel and not rebound unless rebound damping is dialed completely off and the preload is high (in which case you will lose small bump compliance). Not plush in any way. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Burnaby mtn Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: Came with bike Similar Products Used: An older Marzocchi bomber. Bike Setup: 2009 Dart 2 with turn-key

from Madison, WI Date Reviewed: September 27, 2009 Strengths: This product is inexpensive - if that can be considered a strength. Weaknesses: Quality - If you ride hard or are a "bigger" person this fork is not a good purchase, multiple Dart forks at the shop have blown seals and leaked oil. This fork is not adequate for standard singletrack riding, it is suited for casual riding situations where someone wants a little suspension for riding surfaces other than pavement. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Amasa back Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: REI Similar Products Used: Rock shox judy, rockshox reba team, fox Float, Fox Talus, and rockshox pike. Bike Setup: I have multiple bikes.
