Strengths: Able to run locked out or very stiff and still take hard landings. Very strong fork, very easy to adjust, service is quite easy as needed.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I got this fork after blowing out my Moco Damper on my RS Pike. I had the Pike as stiff as the coil spring would allow and still had to use the damper to make it stiff enough to jump well. The Circus has no problem running very stiff for Dirt Jumping, I have it set so I can use it like a normal fork on bumps and rocks and then when its jump time a couple clicks and it is stiff enough not to absorb all the lift on a jump but still moves on hard landings. It is designed for this purpose. The fork is so strong, the bike tracks great with no unwanted flex out of the front, my Pike was a noodle compared to the Circus !

Strengths: Super stiff and ability to run locked out at all times. Jumping this fork locked out is amazing because it doesn't soak up any of the lip while still having a lot of give on the landing. Very adjustable both in the shop and on the fly. Has held up great after jumping/riding it almost every day. After 6 months of riding it hasn't lost any air whatsoever.Weaknesses: Would like to see a quick release 20mm thru axle. Need a 4mm and 6mm allen to get front wheel off. It is somewhat of a hassle but on the other hand it hasn't come loose on me once.Bottom Line: This is a burly fork that can take anything you can throw at it. I am 200ish pounds and have blown out multiple forks. This fork hasn't given me and trouble even after riding/jumping it locked out for over 6 months. This is the ultimate dj and freeride fork.
