Strengths:
This is the best fork I have ever ridden. It came stock on my mongoose EC-D. I got hit by a car doing thirty, and this fork didn't get a scratch on it and still runs great. So great that I took the fork that came on my session ten off and put this one on. I have never had a problem with this fork and its just amazing.

Bottom Line:
i moved to a long travel bike from my xc and i am simply amazed at what can be done with a bike like this. The Boxxer is nimble and light enough to get you in trouble, yet plush and burly enough to get you out with ease. 32mm stanchions are not a problem, while they may look flimsy next to a 40, i have never had a probelem with the fork flexing or anything. And at almost half the cost of a 40 or wc, this is the best fork for price on the market.

Duration Product Used:

Strengths:
very tune-able to your riding style, you can feel small changes in setup when tuning, more of an everday fork vs. the WC, Great race support
Weaknesses:
less quality time with the girlfriend(too much riding)... Seriously though, none. Nothing cheap here.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
03 Turner DHR with Dhx 5.0 upgrade
Bottom Line:
A much better feel than the 04 wc, an amazing upgrade. It's on par with all the 40's Ive felt. All around an exceptional fork. look no further for a top shelf fork, half the cost of a WC or 40 and all the adjustment. Set it up right and it will take whatever suits your style. Bottom line is if you want a race level fork with everyday durability check this fork out.

Strengths:
super plush, lockout/compression adjust with floodgate, lightweight, super stiff, it will take anything you throw at it.
This is a super fork for the price. It has all the adjustments you would want at a resonable price. When I got this fork my bike felt brand new. It doesn't even compare to the stock junior T. Many people I have talked to say that it actually feels better the World Cup. I recomend to anyone looking into a sturdy performance dh fork. Deffinatly worth the price.

It can take some time to set up

Bottom Line:
This fork is deadly! worth every penney! I don't use the compression or flood gat though becuase i'm very light, i didn't buy it for the adjustmentsm but for the smoothness over my super t's, new springs aren't expensive 37 canadian dollars! Its very light,tracks well and is pretty stiff. people say it cracks a lot but thats just people who huck them, theyre a race fork . i'f you are looking to buy one go for it! you won't regret it! buttery smooth travel full of adjustments,and progression for those faster times!

Strengths:
Everything a downhiller can think of plus a good price
Weaknesses:
Not huckable Maxle a little weak The compression has a too narrow adjustment range
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Custom Giant Faith
Bottom Line:
This is your ordinary high quality downhill fork. Tracks well, keeps you equally stable in high speeds or tight corners, and has just enough travel to get you over anything. Plus does not weigh a lot. I hate the people saying these are weak and skinny. Yes they are made to be light, but they are race, not huck forks. Remember years ago when many of us were riding Super T's. All of a sudden, the 888s came and everyone tends to believe that 32mm is not enough. For me the only downside is the maxle DH which is too fragile, but other that this it is a solid, nice and well made fork that works.

Bottom Line:
It's the same fork as Team 2006. Boxxer line stays untouched for 2007, so just read more reviews of team '06. But, if you're lazy... it's a great downhill fork, works best at high speeds, easy to adjust, mainatin, but needs a little tuning before 1st use. It's a stiff, pretty light and versatile fork for any downhiller and frequent freerider.
