Strengths:    Light weight, affordable, durable, easily adjustable travel

Weaknesses:    250 # rider with 120mm travel, QR and 2.35 Bontrager FR3's. When under power, standing up and grinding the pedals, the tire lightly rubs the fork on the left side stanchion. Although this also happened on my 2006 Reba that ive been using for the past couple years the same exact way. Only cure i have found is to REALLY down tighten the QR.

Bottom Line:   
Best bang for the buck. Adjustable travel makes it easy to move from bike to bike. Smooth, fluid travel. Get one and never worry about a fork for YEARS.

Strengths:    Reliable, Durable, Affordable, Easy to tune, Convertible Travel (80-120mm)

Weaknesses:    Having a hard time coming up with these...

Bottom Line:   
A superb trouble-free and extremely affordable fork. I've seen it withstand the test of time on others' bikes and endure the high stresses of DHs, heavy riders (yes even with the QR model) and climbs. Buy the last year's model and save yourself hundreds of dollars. There's not a whole lot of other forks in this class under $500. Comparable FOX forks will be more expensive due to their brand name and pretty red/blue knobs (not sh*tting you).
