Duration Product Used:
6 months
Strengths:
Reliable thus far, and it's taken a beating. Works well for XC trails and moderate drops. Relatively smooth throughout the travel. Does the job, what can you say?
Weaknesses:
Bottoms out on bigger drops (I'm a big guy 200+lbs). Just 75mm of travel. Heavy, but so is my bike. I squeaked until I took it apart and cleaned it; since then, it's been all good.
Bike Setup:
Low end Kona hardtail.
Bottom Line:
My next bike will have a better fork, but this suntour has treated me well. You can do worse for $80.

Strengths:
Strong, good travel, adjustable
Weaknesses:
weight
Similar Products Used:
rock shox, fox, marchozzi
Bottom Line:
The fork is a very good fork, it doesnt bottom out on me, I weigh 175, and have dropped some good distances with it. My only concern is the weight, it is a little heaveir than I would prefer. I would be using my rock shox carbon fiber fork, but it does not have disc brake mounts. It is definitely a great shock though, does the job well, there is very little torsional flex as well so steering is tight. All around great fork, if I was still racing, I wouldnt use it only because of the weight.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
I replaced my original fork on my Sunday, because I needed bigger travel for my big downhill race. I am so glad I did. This fork is a tank! I weight 213 pounds, but this thing held up perfectly! I was not worried the slightest when the 10 ft gravity drop approached. I flew, and them the guys told me I had won! Strong fork, light, and huge travel always wins. I am never replacing this thing!

Strengths:
The shocks are very soft and comfortable, its good for only riding on the street. matches bikes colors and looks good kinda
Weaknesses:
Bottoms out too easily and way to soft for someone over 140. If you jump over a 1 foot thing it will bottom out. the adjustablity sucks too.
