Bike Setup:
Trek Liquid 10, stock except seat & pedals.
Bottom Line:
This fork is the nicest one I've ever owned. OK, that's not saying much, and I'm not a hardcore downhiller, so maybe I just don't have high enough expectations. That being said, for single-track and weekend XC or just toolin' around this fork is great. Yeah, the "C" designation means OEM, but it's damn close to being the XC version (minus external rebound adjustment / thru axel). I guess I could spend extra money and upgrade to what-ever but there's really no reason to. If it comes on your next bike, give it a chance!
