$550.00 | | Purchased At: | local shop | | Strengths: | this fork is ridiculously plush and whit a denser oil, it stays super sensitive and let me soak up easely 20 ft drops. the monster and super monster fork are also the burlyest suspension components i've seen that far. The incredible lenght of that fork also give the bike more clearance over the bottom bracket for asardous riding and it slackened the angles of the bike, like a 24in rear wheel would do. | | Weaknesses: | it is god damn heavy and make the front end of the bike dive on mid jumps (i've been able to correct this by oppening the rebound up front and closing it a little on the rear). And caution!!!!!!, you will need a rock solid head tube to avoid breaking your frame whit that. | | Similar Products Used: | bomber 05,06,07, manitou travis, boxxer team | | Bike Setup: | norco a-line, fox shock, etc | | Bottom Line: | not for everyone, but for the crazy drop junky this thing is insane | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Please explain. | | Similar Products Used: | None, thank god! | | Bike Setup: | Giant ATX 1 DH. I got it off ebay with the forks attached for $200. I think the RRP is about $3000-4000. | | Bottom Line: | There isn't yet a word to decribe how good this bike is. I don't want to ride on the road to get to places - I want to go cross country! Basically if you are a DHer get 1. Or more! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1000.00 | | Strengths: | really long fork. sitting down going downhill or standing up going uphill, either way...the 12 inches of true travel is the only way to go... | | Weaknesses: | only made one production year, 2003 | | Similar Products Used: | this is my first long travel fork, but not my last... | | Bike Setup: | 2005 noroc team dh...5th element...super monster...nothing stock | | Bottom Line: | the most travel for your dollar. all you need to do is change the spring and/or oil to something heavy. with the stock setup of this fork, you will use 10 inches of the 12, just like using the 6 inches of the 8 in a 2003 Monster T... the "drop" where you used 6 inches of the Monster T, you should use only 6 inches of the Super Monster... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$1100.00 | | Strengths: | The toughest out there. Travel is a plus. Smooth travel through its twelve inches. The shock can save you in what would be a crash. Its height makes for a great head tube angle. | | Weaknesses: | Just like all shocks it came with soft springs for a lighter rider. I weigh 230 pounds and can easily bottom any fork including this one. It will not flex so that is not a problem. I still need to buy a heavier spring. | | Similar Products Used: | RockShox boxxer, Manitou Sherman | | Bike Setup: | Ellsworth Dare, Super Monster, Hadley hubs, Shimano XT cranks, Syncros handle bar and seatpost. | | Bottom Line: | There is not a better shock on the planet. Not for strength, travel, or performance. if you are a strong rider then weight will not hurt you. I can ride this bike up hills that most cross country bikes can't make. It may be a bit much for a light rider, but downhillers shouldn't worry about weight anyway. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Plus you can scare the cross country people at the lifts at northstar. | | Weaknesses: | None as far as my riding goes | | Similar Products Used: | Super T, Bomber | | Bike Setup: | Kona Stinky with my super Montser | | Bottom Line: | if you want a fork that is light, pratical and cheap, then this is definatly not the fork for you. this thing is frickin' unstoppable.

$455.00 | | Purchased At: | Through my connections | | Strengths: | This shock has some major travel. It makes 10 foot drops seem like cake. It gave me so much confidence in my riding that I now hold the record for one of my local downhill trails. | | Weaknesses: | Very espensive, and very heavy. | | Similar Products Used: | Nothing compares to this shock. | | Bike Setup: | I took a Trek Liquid 30 and put a little work into it. I modified the rear shock to a 6-incher with a lockout (don't try this, it is very difficult and it can end up costing a lot of money), It made the 8 inches of travel fit much better with my bike. The whole set-up weighs about 41 lbs. And if you're wondering, I did trick it out with some of the lightest components on the market. If you feel like doing anything like this, make sure you don't use light-weight components that might take some stress when hitting the huge drops (I broke one of my cranks because of that). | | Bottom Line: | If you don't mind the extra weight and a little bobbing in the ride, this shock is great. All of its travel jsut soaks up everything from little bumps to huge drops. It is a great fork for an extreme downhiller with some money. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1095.00 | | Purchased At: | from Dunshee | | Strengths: | Super soft landings from big drops, the choppper feel keeps me from going over the bars.An excellent fork for bigger guys, hard to bottom out. | | Weaknesses: | Weight, long lower stantions hit just missed rocks | | Similar Products Used: | Dorado, super-t pro, fox | | Bike Setup: | Intense M-1, T.H.E. rims (suck for changing tires)thompson, easton,909's, mrp, all the other | | Bottom Line: | This fork increases your boys size, I went out looking for big drops with flat botoms to go off just to try to bottom it out. 8-inch straight bolt on with out an adapter is nice. The only thing to get use to is that my bike rides like a chopper on the flats, weights 52lbs., and I dont need to ride back over the rear wheel as far when dropping the steeps. Excellent big guy fork not for Faint hearted 165 pounders and XC. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
