Date Reviewed: September 15, 2004 | | Favorite Trail: | Narge Canal | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Purchased At: | Friend | | Strengths: | Plush, soaks up little and big bumps alike. Very strong and rigid. | | Weaknesses: | Sometimes, roo plush. Bottom out if your not careful. May be too rigid for weaker headtubes. After 8 months of riding everyother day, I started to see small cracks around the headtube. | | Bike Setup: | Trek Y3, Judy XL w/ Total Air cartridge upgrade), Cane Creek AD-10 | | Bottom Line: | If your looking for a fork you can do anything with, here it is. A freeriders dream. Wether its agressive city riding and stairs or singletrack and downhill, this fork will do it all. I was over the idea of springs the moment I got it so I upgraded to the Total Air cartridges and haven't look back since. I am a heavier/stronger rider than most (200lbs.)and with the upgrade, I can adjust for any terrain I meet with a simple air pressure adjustment. Other than the stock internals, I love this fork and will keep it till it falls apart or I go for a longer travel fork (not soon though.). | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

You know why I must give it 1 flaming pile of shit, I'd give it zero but thats no an option, I think it should be Save ur money and get a ZOKE or an X-Vert R/T/DC | Overall Rating: |
