The bottom line is that this thing will take your girl and a finger if you don't fly off 30 footers. This fork seriously is so smooth over anything you could ride over a person and not even know you where riding your bike its so huge. its impossible to bottom out. it just ate my dog

This bike is damn nice for dh and freeride, but ive never actually rode it off road, but pezz say its wellgood for bender type s**t, but i personly think think he's spoilt a perfectly good dh/freeride bike by putting mx forks on it, even my little bro luke agres, Marzocchi wha have you done.

Everything is perfect. Great amouint of travel for those 20 foot drops I love to do
Weaknesses:
when u peddle on flat land the bike bobs from that 300 mm of travel, but when ur downhilling you hardly peddle
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
I have 6 different downhill frames I use with this fork... Haro DH frame, Bombshell Da Bomb Frame, and more but those are my most confortable ones but not the best i have.
Bottom Line:
This has got to be the best fork I've ever been on. If you are a serious downhiller and you've got the money, buy this fork wothout a dought. My kids even love it, we all go downhilling as much as possible, 7 days a week sometimes. You should buy this fork.

Bottom Line:
fork can also be used for downhill, but the extreme weight of 5.8kg ~14lbs turnes your bike more into a drop mashine. and for droping is this the best fork to be used! if you can...buy it!

Strengths:
soooo much bloody travel, it just sucks up the drops (big and little)
Weaknesses:
most bikes wont be able to handle the stiffness of it. when i got it home i had 2 weld xtra gussets on the front to stop the headtube from snapping off. DONT USE ON A HARDTAIL!!!
Similar Products Used:
Marzocchi Shiver's, Monster T's, Junior T's and super T's
Bike Setup:
Kona Stab Primo, Sunrim double wides, Michelin Wildgripper, FSA Pig headset, BMW Shinburgers (ouch!), aireal headset chainguide and handlebars, Fox Shox 5 inch stroke shock(giving me 12 inches of travel), assorted shimano parts and hayes hydro discs with 8 inch rotors.
Bottom Line:
When I first laid eyes on these babies I instantly thought WOAH! I need to get a pair of these!. So i went and broke the bank and got me a pair. these are awsome fork that are full of featherlike travel but probably to much for most trails. If you are interested in events like the "Red Bull Rampage" or other big-hit events you should seriously look into getting a pair of these monsters. the only problem is that they are to damn expensive and having 12" of travel will really suck all of your pedaling power. Best suited to a bike like the Karpial Armageddon ar a santa cruz V10. newayzKeep on riding and Rubberside down
