a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: February 17, 2013 Strengths: Still comes with QRs and standard steerer. Price. Air spring works fine. Came with pump and rebuild kit. Weaknesses: The lockout doesn't work. I'm leery of taking it into a shot as repair costs defeat the whole point of the QPR.

Justin Paeltz Date Reviewed: February 14, 2013 Strengths: Price, look, durability. Weaknesses: Not good for Clydesdales, I weighed 275 pounds when I purchased the bike I rode this with after losing 30 pounds I thought that would help, but it didn't. With only 80mm of travel this doesn't take much to bottom out. Bottom Line:

Skrufryder Date Reviewed: October 11, 2012 Strengths: Much lighter than the Suntour forks I had. Gota love the adjustability of an Air spring! Adjustable from 80-120mm! Mine didnt come with head set but had the shock pump and complete rebuild kit and a few stickers. Weaknesses: No V-brake mounts? I still use them, but this frame is disc only so.... Bottom Line:

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: May 21, 2012 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.

from San Pedro Sula, Honduras Date Reviewed: January 10, 2012 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.
