Bottom Line:
I'm only using it because it came with my bike. I'm already looking for another fork to upgrade with. It'll be a while though, so I guess this fork will have to do. Its only 80mm, and it just doesn't impress me with its performances. Don"t go out an buy this fork, but if it comes with the bike it will suffice until you upgrade.
For the road it will work around the city for those speed bumbs, curbs and pot holes, but I'm not impressed for off roading.
