Strengths: Not so expensive. Works much better and softer than elastomer models that comes with my previous bikes. Good read of terrain.Weaknesses: Relatively too heavy.Bottom Line: It works very fine for me. Heavy compared with the R7 (that was stolen with my previous bike 6 mouths ago, just 3 mouths after the up!) but do the same job.
There is no comparison between air spring and the old stuff I used before in old times...
Duration Product Used: 6 months

Strengths: Looks good, easy to use , has lockout, and a handy psi chart on the leg.Weaknesses: none, it does everything VERY well.absolutly no complaints.Bottom Line: living in lower michigan I had to ditch my 6"ride(too heavy, too much ) so I had to outfit my hartail for the Cross Country roads and single track around here. I wanted to keep with an Air fork. So far I am really please. its lite, easy to use shoulda got the 120mm though.

from MADate Reviewed: July 17, 2010
Strengths: Price, adjustable air springWeaknesses: Air sucking sound, could be better over small bumpsBottom Line: I bought this as a replacement for my stock 100mm travel coil fork that I broke. I have put about 60 miles on the Tora so far and I really enjoy it. I am 250lbs and use 180 psi and I have not bottomed the fork out yet. For 200 bucks, this entry level fork takes care of the type of riding I do, which is techy single track and smaller drops. It is a little noisy on the way up, sounds like air being sucked, but I think it's normal. I would definitely recommend this fork if you are replacing a stock fork and want to experience something better before dropping $500+ on a Fox or higher end RS.

Strengths: Lightweight, plenty of travel. Floats right through obstacles.Weaknesses: None notedBottom Line: I am a heavy rider (220+ lbs riding weight) and was concerned how this fork would handle my weight but it does beautifully. Then again anything would compared to the stock garbage that I finally got rid of. I love the air spring and doubt I will ever go back to coil spring. I keep the pressure between 190 and 200 psi and away she rolls. I doubt you'll find a better value for the money.
Favorite Trail: Difficult Run, Great Falls, Riverbend
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$269.00
Purchased At: Performance
Bike Setup: '08 Diamondback Response frame with hardly anything stock left on it, thankfully.
