Well built
Excellent low speed responce.
Makes good use of it's limited travel | | Weaknesses: | Stock oil too light | | Similar Products Used: | judy 100 | | Bottom Line: | An excellent value. These forks work great for everything except big dirt jumping and downhilling. I have had no problems other than some oil loss when my bike was hanging upside down in the garage. It wasn't enough to affect the performance though. Switch the stock oil to at least 10w before steeing up the spring rate. This will give a good combination of low speed responce and still allow for 4 or 5 foot drops. Anything more than that and you will need more travel. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Even if you weigh more than this you can definitly ride downhill, but not super aggressively. I use this bike for dirt jumping and other jumps too. I have flatted this out several times because of it's short travel if I clear a short landing from a big air or do a drop to flat (at least a medium height drop.) If you want a fork that isn't a super ton of money but you still want to hit fairly big things get this fork. Don't buy this fork with the intention of doing giant drops. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

They'll probably never cause much envy at the DH mtns, but they took me to a few podiums at Plattekill, one of the roughest DH's there is. A friend with a Boxxer was impressed at the stiffness as well, so that's saying something. Stock oil is way too light for repeated small hits and rock gardens. Switched to 10 wt and was a lot better, will be switching to 15 soon. Takes big hits pretty well, just doesn't like fast fast rough sections. Hang on tight then. I must say though, I've never been very disappointed with these forks in the 2 years I've abused them. Buy a pair if you can get em. When I get my Boxxer, they'll make a great match for a hardtail. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: August 4, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Bottom Line: | This fork is still working out great for me. I changed the stock oil out with Bel-Ray 20 wt. fork oil for summer and am pleased with the performance. The hydracoil design is such a huge leap from the old style Judy cartridge that everyone should own the new type. What makes me mad is that Rockshox doesn't offer some kind of retrofit kit for the older forks. The lower sliders are the same as the older design and I believe (but am not 100% sure) that the upper tubes are the same as well. The reason I don't know is that in the 6 months I've owned this fork I've had no reason to disassembly and clean it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

The forks are very plush immediately but from stock aftermarket they are very very soft. This is really smooth on small stuff. They havent bottomed out much but the speed with which they use the travel is a bit much as it drops the front a lot on steep slow sections. Also echo the other guys review about needing more oil in from stock as well. Have tried a pair on a Kona Chute and they have either the correct amount of oil or harder springs. Unless you are very light, make sure the forks you buy have harder springs than the yellow that came in mine. Once you have sorted this out, they work like a dream. Easy to service and tune oil for damping. Turning circle has never been a problem. They are nice and cheap. They are not intended for hardcore downhill racing so please dont expect this from them. With that in mind, they are great for all day trail riding and extreme terrian. Just set them up properly. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

A lot more adjustment than the old cartridge system. | | Weaknesses: | None for the purpose it serves. I think some of the negative reviews come from people thinking that this is a downhill only type fork.

Way better than the Judy XL with the cartridge system. I blew out three cartridges in one year with that fork and don't miss it at all. The XLC offers more performance and tuning possibilities then the old model ever had. I couldn't believe how plush the fork was when I first got it. I installed firm springs and need to play with the oil level and weight but am very pleased with the performance so far. For $179 from mail order you just can't beat the value. I feel this is the best triple clamp fork avaliable for the price. I should know, I've been waiting for over a year to purchase it once the price came down. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
