Strengths:    Nice long travel with the rigidity of the 20mm axle

Weaknesses:    The flex I get during breaking isn't good. I fear it might break
Too heavy for an air fork


Bottom Line:   
right fork on a budget but if you have some bucks to spare, get a better one. spinner aeris is even better at a lower cost

Strengths:    Strong, light,simple.

Weaknesses:    lack of adjustments

Bottom Line:   
Very, very good fork if your on a budget. This fork will handle what you throw at it. I have decided to run this for instead of my boxxer this year at Tresle. Worth the money even for a spare fork.

Strengths:    long travel(180 for the coil and 160 for the air version),very good in soaking bumps, adjustable stiffness, excellent in receiving extreme punishments.

Weaknesses:    sags after few months of use(an inch maybe), there is no service center here(philippines), if you are a wight freak, its kinda heavy

Bottom Line:   
If you are having trouble with budget and needs a fairly priced fork that performs well, ill recomend this one..
