Billy Date Reviewed: July 29, 2012 Strengths: It's a shock. Is that a strength? Weaknesses: Seals are terrible! Is it bad I know when the seals are gone cause I'm getting use to it shooting oil out that hits my knees? Very aggravating. Seals only last a few hundred miles. Crazy for a shock with a ridiculous msrp. Bottom Line:

from Santa Clara, CA, USA Date Reviewed: July 5, 2009 Strengths: Build Quality Out of the box the fork is visually stunning. Everything from the lowers to the seals to the knobs are built with quality in mind. My only gripe would have to be the plastic screw-on cable guide. I feel the Rockshox method of building it into the fork crown is far superior as well as cleaner. Nevertheless, the build quality is definitely solid. Features First off, I'd like to state that this might be the most tunable fork ever made. There are a great range of settings for rebound, compression and lockout. The dials are nice anodized aluminum knobs which are very accessible to the rider at all times. Coming from a Rockshox fork (rebound knob at the bottom of the fork), I enjoyed having the ability to adjust rebound settings on the fly during the ride. The low speed compression adjustment was useful as well. It allowed me to adjust how sensitive the fork reacted to bumps. The same can be done on a Rockshox fork (tuning of neg/pos air chambers), however it cannot be done on the fly. The lockout platform is very solid, almost feels like a rigid fork. You can also adjust the lock threshold level as well, very similar to Rockshox's floodgate control. Ride Quality On the trail the fork shines. Tracks extremely well over all terrain. The fork is laterally stiff and steering is very accurate. The fork can be as active as you want it to be. I'd definitely suggest getting to understand all the settings and what they do in relation to the trail and trying out different settings to suite your needs. This fork can be tuned to anyone's liking, you just have to put the time in to tune it according to your trail. On climbs the lockout proved to be stiff, however I tuned the fork for a stiff ride which would not bob or drive under braking so locking the fork out was not required on all climbs even out of saddle. Small amount of oil rings appeared on the uppers as the ride progress, very similar to what I've seen on my 09 RS SID. Overall one of the best forks I've ridden in a long time. As ride quality goes it is on par with an 09 Rockshox SID, but gets the edge due to the on-the-fly adjustments. Maintenance Out of the box I changed the travel on the fork from 100mm to 80mm. The procedure to service the fork was straight forward just like Rockshox. Both companies do a good job of documenting their maintenance procedures. The maintenance intervals seem to a little less frequent than Rockshox but it is too early to determine how the fork will perform/feel after a few more rides. Weaknesses: Other than the plastic cable guide, I have no real gripe about this product. I cannot complain about the price because all forks are a little overpriced for what they are.
