from Bratislava Date Reviewed: March 22, 2011 Strengths: Not a skinny XC fork but a nice beefy piece of metal. Surely can take the abuse, structurally. Has V-brake bosses. Weaknesses: Lockout turns anticlockwise. Sticky air spring that leaks in cold/freezing temperatures. Under 5-10 degrees celsius, the fork leaks slowly. Under zero celsius, it pretty much deflates during a 15 minute ride. I wanted to order coil spring internals but RST seems to have no stock of replacement parts. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: road to hell Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $220.00 Purchased At: Libike.sk Similar Products Used: RS Tora 26 Solo Air, a much better fork. Bike Setup: 2008 Kona Ute w/ dual 2807 9c motors
