Submitted by davide valentini a Weekend Warrior from italy
Date Reviewed: October 2, 2006
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $600.00
Purchased At:italian distributor
Strengths:McLaren f1 look, damping quality, launch control, factory answers your mail in minutes !! (only other I know is Stan no tubes)
Weaknesses:rigidity is not exceptional, it takes a little home work to use full travel
Similar Products Used:fox talas fox vanilla fox 36 van fox 36 talas rshox pike
Bike Setup:heckler full xtr c.max
Bottom Line:Not the stiffest fork on the market (should try 20mm axle version)but great confort and travel quality.
Launch control is not easy to fine tune but is easy to engage, lowers the fork to pedal uphill those perfect 4 centimeters, and is much better than fox travel adjusters you never use. Spring installed is a little too stiff but pace answers your mails in minutes and gives you all the support. Is not easy to use full 130 travel, you should cut the elastomer fitted into the spring for less progressive travel end.
I can definitly give five stars to this small company that makes a better product than famous Fox (apart from stiffnes wich is a little worst than Fox Vanilla and Float)

Submitted by David a Cross Country Rider from Craigellachie
Date Reviewed: May 9, 2006
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $450.00
Purchased At:Factory
Strengths:Great looking, great feeling, light, feature packed fork. Adjustable Travel, lockout, rebound etc.
Weaknesses:Seems to flex a little under braking when stopped using a 8" rotor. Oil leaking onto the crown after 3 rides.
Similar Products Used:Fox Vanilla
Bike Setup:Stock Giant Trance 4 with shorter stem and El Camino brakes.
Bottom Line:Beautiful fork, worked perfectly so far and flex is not noticible on the trail. Excellent companion for mid to light weight XC bikes. Much better action than the Vanilla.

Jury is out on reliability, waiting to hear from Pace to see if this oil is simply it bedding in.

If it has to go back I'll be unhappy. If it keeps on going i'll be delighted!
