Price Paid:

Strengths:
It sorta held my front wheel to the bike.
Weaknesses:
sloppy, weak fork that either bobs like crazy or does nothing for you. Broke very easily! CRAPPY WARRANTY SERVICE!
Similar Products Used:
Many many lower and higher end forks
Bike Setup:
full xt on a norco sasquatch
Bottom Line:
I got this fork cause my old one was getting old, now the old one's back on the bike (good ol' Marzocchi). I was under the impression the judy line would be good enough to withstand a bit of trail abuse. After spending tones of cash upgrading the springs and oil so that it would fit me I took a small foot drop in the trail, very clean and the bushings blew out and the internals got all damaged. Nobody would cover me even tho the fork was less than 5 months old. I've riden that trail/ drop hundreds of times with cheaper older forks and they were always fine. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON ROCK SHOX.

Favorite Trail:
Bingley (own trail)
Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$140.00
Purchased At:
allterraincycles.co.uk
Strengths:
Cost £90 (v cheap). I weigh 175 pounds & they don't bottom out. I'm no dirt jumper but do some serious XC drops & it handles with ease. I beat all my mates who have more expensive shocks. Very stiff but reacts well to the hits.
Weaknesses:
None yet. Although I did snap the pre-load but that was my own fault for trying to turn it when it already reached it's limit (I was turning wrong way). Even that was replaced easily with a few quid.
Bike Setup:
light hardtail
Bottom Line:
Bl00dy great ! I've only sampled other, more expensive forks but really cannot say that they were better !
