Strength:
Light, parts availability, axle options, deep knowledge base in the MTB community.
Weakness:
Compression damping, stiction The subject fork is a dual-air, 120mm w/straight 1-1/8" steerer. Have both 9mm QR and 20mm lowers. The fork is very light and easy to service. No special tools required and it responds well to any decent suspension oil. Rebound damping is adequate and easy to adjust, though hard to duplicate settings for lack of stops/clicks. The dual-air has a bit of a learning curve, after which it is useful. Where this fork fails is in compression damping. It is on or off and in any position, it's not that good. Rocky, broken terrain is torturous at speed. It does not seem to be speed sensitive as HS damping is harsh when LS is OK, or HS damping is OK when LS damping is non-existent. Others seem to love this fork; matter of taste, different riding style, different terrain? I've tried a few Rebas on other bikes and I just don't get it. Not really in the same league with Fox or even Manitou. Similar Products Used: Fox, Maintou, Marzocchi |

Strength:
value and weight
Weakness:
remote could be less expensive These just work, been around for a while now and this still is one of the best 29 forks. Fox tend to blow out for people round here, these just keep on pumpin. Track nice and handle everything I need. Weight is very respectable, more expensive forks only have more features, don't really weigh less. |

Strength:
Reliable, responsive, tough
Weakness:
pop lock system with remote not as good as direct lock This is the second of these forks I have had (on different bikes). They are reliable and do exactly what they're supposed to do, and last. Mine has survived continuous mud and wet conditions with only one service so far. Good value for money too if you can find one with a decent discount.

Strength:
Reliable, light, holds air, small bump absorbtion
Weakness:
Rebound adjustment, large bump absorbtion. This fork came on my Stumpjumper Comp 29er. It works well for a reasonably priced air fork and is a good choice for a hardtail. It works well on small to medium bumps, but is prone to bottoming on larger bumps. It's not a big hit fork though. I don't notice much flex or wandering in the front end (I use a 9mm thru axle). It's been totally reliable so far, and I ride a lot. I'd recommend spending some time dialing in the + and - air pressures and rebound damping to optimize the performance of the fork.

Strength:
-Smoother than a fox
Weakness:
-Rebound adjuster fell out after 10 or so rides. no big deal as it can be adjusted with a 2.5mm hex wrench. What a great performing fork!!!!! works very smoothly and takes small bumps like they arent there and big bumps very good. the +- air chambers make it easy to have small bump compliance and not bottom out on big hits. running the air how it is (88- 72+) it uses only half of the travel when i press down on the fork. when you hit a big jump/bump, the full travel is used.

Strength:
Light, relatively cheap.
Weakness:
Ain't a Fox. Came with the bikes I bought new. The most expensive forks before jumping straight to a Fox. If you want to spend more then save up and get a Fox F series. Does the job well for the occasional big holes or bumps but not when descending a rocky path. That's what a Fox is for. Similar Products Used: RST, Suntour, Fox |

Strength:
bump compliance, adjustability, stiffness
Weakness:
none so far These came on my Sette Razzo 29er and are set to 80mm of travel for the 29er...I may bump them up to 100mm, we'll see how it goes. They do everything I need a fork to do. You can adjust them to your riding style - I like a soft-ish fork with high negative air and low rebound damping for good small bump performance on the 29er.
