Strengths: NoneWeaknesses: Heavy, QR on a "freeride/dirt jump" fork.Bottom Line: This is one of the worst forks I've ever tried, there's only like 70mm of travel from the advertised 130, the preload adjust knobs are just cosmetic (dont adjust anything) dont work on small bumps (extra rigid) or big drops (can barely use half of the travel), and there's only QR option on a suposed "freeride/ dirt Jump" fork. Another "stay away at all cost" product from RST. Dumping them as soon as i can aford something better.
