Dave Mackey Date Reviewed: January 20, 2013 Strengths: Cheap Weaknesses: not good below 20 degrees as the standard fork oil gets so thick the fork wont rebound. Change the oil and the fork is fine. Bottom Line:

Regionnus Rattis Date Reviewed: May 18, 2012 Strengths: Does the job for what it was meant to do....ride trails, off-road and on pavement or dirt and provide you with some suspension on your front end. Weaknesses: Not meant to be ridden hard in downhill or jumping, as it will bottom out. Bottom Line:

In any condition these forks failed and failed again. LBS was a total arse about warranty and repairs, was thrown out with my bike in bits to the side walk!

from Maribor, Slovenia Date Reviewed: January 17, 2012 Strengths: I've been using this fork (the HLO version) for a bit more than 3 months now and the shock seems fine. It works well even on a more rough terrain. The Hidro Lock Out also works and it helps a lot with climbing. Also the fork requires very little maintenance and is very cheap to replace if it breaks. In fact a brand new XCM fork is cheaper than the standard annual inspection and servicing for most serious forks (like for example RS Recon). Weaknesses: My XCM is supposed to have a 100mm travel but in reality it's more like 75mm. Also even though the fork works fine it doesn't feel as good as more expensive models (feels a bit like you are floating). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Pohorje Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $90.00 Purchased At: On the internet (cam Similar Products Used: RS Jett and older SR Suntour forks. Bike Setup: 2009 Mongoose Tyax Elite

from redlaands, ca Date Reviewed: August 1, 2011 Strengths: when you hit bumps, the lower legs go up and down. when i steer, the effort goes thru the steer tube, down the crown, into the stanchions, to the lower legs, and redirects my wheel via the hub, thus steering me and my bike!! it connected the front wheel to my bike. Weaknesses: flex, plastic cap blew off and the spring came out and about pinned me in the forehead, no adjustability, lockout made horrible noises. an entire INCH of travel. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: its a little local thing, still fun Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $15.00 Purchased At: w/ bike from some du Similar Products Used: roo hop pogostick, rts capa t6, exercise ball, trampoline, spinner grand 323, and thats about it. better products used, fox float, manitou splice comp 130, manitou skareb elite, answer fork from the 90s, RS mag 21 SL w/ long trave kit, RS judy twin crown, marzocchi bomber superfly.

from Cambridge, UK Date Reviewed: May 16, 2011 Strengths: Look nice, IS disc mounts to take up to an 180mm rotor. Weaknesses: Very poor at soaking up smaller bumps, deals with bigger hits better. The adjusters have little to no effect on their behaviour. Doing a couple of small drops (less than a foot) causes the shocks to top out quite violently and upset the balance of bike and rider!
