Duration Product Used:

Strengths:
- lightweight - good adjustability - strong - travel adjust is pretty cool - looks really nice - coil spring has a great feel
Weaknesses:
- too soft - sometimes the travel doesn't stick to where i've put it
Bike Setup:
SWD Racing 6Gun
Bottom Line:
This is a great fork. My only problem with it is that it's a bit too soft. I weigh 170 and bottom it a lot. I would recommend going up to the "extra firm" spring.
Other than that, it's a really good fork. The adjustability is really sweet and it's a Rock Shox... so you know it won't let you down!

Strengths:
very smooth, sucks things up, and can do it all.
Weaknesses:
the u-turn can have some problems.
Bike Setup:
santa cruz heckler, sram components and race face
Bottom Line:
these are some good forks. they feel great, and i like that they have a lock out switch. but the second day i had my bike, i was messing with u-turn knob (on the top of mountain) and the sping popped out. i tried to put it back in. and if you get these forks and that happens to you, then DO NOT! press the lock out switch or that can really mess up your forks. but it is easy fork bike shops to fix it. but i would recommend these forks.
