Had these forks a while now, mainly because they seemed a bargain. Never bottomed out, that i've noticed. Even down steep rocky/pebbly terrain handled brilliantly. Across my usual XC forest stuff cant fault at all.

Strengths:
Strong steer tube (thats all)
Weaknesses:
The bottom half is weak and gets wobbly, springs are way too soft, they stick in cold weather, and the adjustments dont work after a hard landing (ever again)(you turn them too far and they go back to the softest setting)
Bike Setup:
08 Hardrock Comp, cane creek headset, and halo wheels.
Bottom Line:
If you just like riding your bike slow on easy trails these would probally ok for you, but lay off stoppies and riding over anything higher than a curb.
I woludn't recommend these to every day thrashers.

Came as stock!
Strengths:
Price, looks great, good pre load adjuster.Held up suprislingly well on rough trails, roots rock gardens no problems.
Weaknesses:
Strenght!!! - Although this fork holds up well on trails, its not very good at taking any form of drop. I know its not designed for that use but, I slightly twisted these forks with a rough landing froma small 3 fott drop off. But I have to add, they still didnt bottom out. (If the did there was no rough clank noise.)
Similar Products Used:
Loads, Rock Shox dart etc
Bike Setup:
08 Specialized hard Rock Comp Disk, stock apart from crank bros egg beaters cl, and deore XT cassette and rear mech.
Bottom Line:
I will replace these forks soon, but thats because Im quite an aggressive rider. They are good for a level entry, and If your bike comes with these as stock, dont be put off their perfect for entry level and then you can replace them after a while without feeling youve waisted your money. --- Very good for price.!
