Designed for the fast growing “all mountain” segment, the 135 is a serious tool for a serious rider. Features like a beefy crown and re-inforced steerer tube coupled with a coil spring with air-adjust and our full open bath damper make the 135 our plushest 29er fork yet.
Strengths: Burly built, one of the most strongest made forks I have ever had, next to the 1990's Marzocchi Bombers.
The fork is practically all CNC'd machined.
Weaknesses: No lockout but I do have an extra spring that keeps the sag from getting too low.
Bottom Line:
Great fork made in USA. Not a light weight one but built to last 10 years. Also not cheap.
The 20mm axle is not easy to remove like most of the quick release thru axles made now.
Snatch one up because it will last you a long time if you are into having things for a long time.
