Strengths: Simplicity of operation. Lockout on/off and air pressure. One fitting applies air to both positive and negative chamber. Air makes this very "tunable" to your riding preference, weight, etc. Real plush in the bumps especially compared to the stock SR Suntour coil fork that came on the bike. It comes preset at 100mm, but its flexible to go 80mm or 120mm with spacers provided. It came with a shock pump and a full rebuild kit with wipers, seals, etc.Weaknesses: Set up for disc or cantilever. So, if you are running disc you will have those little cantilever posts or you can remove them and have holes. Nothing that effects the function though.Bottom Line: This review is for the Solo-Air version, not the Coil spring version. It is made for XC and it performs well in that environment. I consider myself a XC/AM rider and I hit lots of rocky, rooty terrain where I ride. It has handled it real well so far. This version is not for the thru axle so it supports the QR. Also, you can buy a little more expensive version which has pop-loc remote lockout to mount on your handlebar. I did not chose that since it seemed like more parts to break. Similarly you can buy a cheaper version which is coil spring. I wanted to go to air, so I paid the extra.

Strengths: The forks seem to be fairly progresive, rebound and preload (air pressure) adjustment, light, lockout works great, good travel, travel can be modified(80-120 mm) with the use of spacers, easy to mantain. It is a world apart from the srsuntour that came stock with my previous bike, those stock forks were very basic and limited BTW.Weaknesses: QC problems: in my case, the air shock came instaled on the bike with no oil lubricating the top and lower o rings on the air piston. This caused to the fork to loose air fairly quickly. I had to disasemble them after using them for a month to fix the problem. After adding the specified oil quatity and type the forks have worked great, no air loss.Bottom Line: These forks feel great. I have much more confidence now when riding downhill. So much extra confidence that I ended up wrecking after doing bunny hops over obstacles while descending at 40 km/h , luckily the bike sustained minimal damage. Apart from the air leaking from the spring which I guess is an isolated problem, these are a great value for the money.
