a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: May 27, 2012 Strengths: Very light weight Remote lockout & inner cable included. You must make up a black outer cable. Rebound adjustable Affordable Travel adjustable from 80-140mm travel Easy to take apart to adjust travel and service No noticeable bounce even with minimal rebound when pumped up Weaknesses: Small bumps aren't absorbed as well as I expected when fork is pumped up tight enough to not bottom out (100PSI for me). The lockout doesn't lock completely. It just stiffens the travel so much that it is effectively a rigid. For trail use, it is more than adequate. But stopped, you will notice it still strokes some while locked out. Lockout is ONLY usable with remote. Does not come with a star nut. Must remove hand grip & brake/derailleur controls to install remote lockout (common).
