Date Reviewed: March 9, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Del Cerro's "Slalom" | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$200.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance Bikes | | Strengths: | works amazingly for freeride, it can do some downhill, but I wouldn't recommend it. very soft, takes ups drops like its nothing, and eats up about anything. | | Weaknesses: | Kind of rough, not always responsive, it also has its drawbacks with the setup just because it is really not that user friendly. | | Bike Setup: | Iron Horse 7Point3 | | Bottom Line: | They are great forks, but if you are looking for something for downhill hill stick with the triple clamps.
but they are still freaking awesome!! :] | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$234.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Decent adjustment.20mm axel feels solid.Feels lighter than I thought it would.Old MX racers like springs in forks so that's another plus.Crown seems beefy and strong.Brake mount looks real strong too.It has a cable bracket. | | Weaknesses: | Owners manual is worthless to a mechanic but MRZCI said to call.I think it is for lighter people.At the price you can get one for there aint much wrong with the MF'er. | | Similar Products Used: | Rock Shox J4,Z1 Wedge,RST | | Bike Setup: | Diamondback XSL comp frame.LX cranks.Stock Shimano disc brakes.8 spd.XT FDR. XTR RDR.XTR shifters and brake levers.22/32 chain rings w RFace B guard.FR rims and hubs.XT 11/32 cassete.Drop Off 2 Fork.Lock on grips.Dual pedals from shimano that work fine.XTR shift cables.Romic rear shock with 650lb. spring. | | Bottom Line: | This is a great fork for getting a feel for FR and pushing your limits.If you are over 165lbs.it is possibly not stiff enough.I'm 150lbs. and running with 0 preload until it's broke in.It takes longer when your light.I've been going down stairs.It feels fine riding uphill.The 20mm axel gives confidence to go for the drop or whatever you feel you can handle.So far I'm happy with it.This is the Drop Off 2 130mm travel.There seems to be enough of them around but don't pay over 250.00 for it.So get one and nuke the gay whales and buy your chick an Ermine fur. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$400.00 | | Purchased At: | Ralph Colmans Cycles | | Strengths: | Strong structuraly, stiff, not too bad weight wise, very plush, External Rebound control, Good price for a 6" single crown. | | Weaknesses: | erm............. Yet too see if the 2006 damping cartridges last as well as the traditional SSV. Not as small bump plush as my old SSV All Mountan 3s either. | | Similar Products Used: | Zocchi All Mountan 3, Zocchi Dirt Jumper 3, Rock Shox Psylo. | | Bike Setup: | Mongoose Teocali Comp, Standard except for zocchi Drop Off 3s, Hope Pro 2 front hub, Easton Bar and BBB 60mm stem. | | Bottom Line: | Best 6" single crown for the money by far, good and strong, Plush on the big stuff. zocchi dont seem to like people knowing but you can always wack some Z1 damping in later when you have the money and you'll have the same fork besides the steel streerer. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
