Purchased At:
sports power, Mount Isa
Strengths:
good fork for park and some dirt jumps,they are also good for light trails.
Weaknesses:
preload adjusters don't do anything so don't bother touching them. You can twist them as much as you want and they wont do a thing, oh and the preload adjuster nobs also sieze up and snap off really easy ( mine did anyway)
Similar Products Used:
Marzoochi DJ 2 and 3
Bike Setup:
2004 Haro Zero dirt jumper/skatepark bike
Bottom Line:
they are a good fork if you want to do some park or dirtjump riding, but if you want to do some downhill or xc riding/racing you should look at somthing else.

Strengths:
Best Bang For Buck fork out there in my opinion, put hours a day on it, at skate parks, and local trails, got the 100 mm model and it hasent bottomed out yet, and it can take a lickin and keep on tickin' it good for dirtjump and moderate freeride (and im a heavy rider!)
Weaknesses:
STIFF! riding the light trails is like riding with a rigid fork, and there is no small bump absorption (but makes up for that when taking larger hits)
Bike Setup:
Norco VPS buzz
Bottom Line:
if you are low on cash yet need a durable fork this is your best choice, it easily beats out all entry level forks from marzocchi, rock shox, and manitou and has impressed me so far, im going to stick with sr suntour for my next fork and pick up their extreme freeride fork the rux with 150 mm travel
this fork is for dirtjumpers and skate park riders mainly buy can be used on trails
xc riders and extreme downhillers would not benefit from this fork

Duration Product Used:

Strengths:
light, pretty cheap
Weaknesses:
crown, stanchion tubes
Similar Products Used:
marzocchi dj1, dj3
Bike Setup:
haro escape 8.1, rocky mountain flow
Bottom Line:
i snapped the crown in half going really fast, kinda hard to enjoy forks you can't trust. after that, i broke the warranty forks; snapped the stanchion tubes in half, (snapped forward, away from me) got knocked out. (18 ft wallride) get this if you don't plan on feeling freefall, and stick to strictly xc, and don't go fast. They were easy to get to the top of the hill, but if you enjoy going downhill as well; stay far away!
