$350.00 | | Strengths: | Took a ride for first time with my new fork past weekend. It is very light, very stiff and comfortable. I impressed myself the way i took the hills down, even got some congratulations by my weekend team partners. I didn't loose control neither on very technical nor very fast stages. In resume is a very good buy.
Cheap. | | Weaknesses: | I don't believe that this is a weakness but initially it had a strange noise that disappeared later. Still has an oil squeeze noise, may be normal. | | Similar Products Used: | Upgrade from a heavier DNM Tornado 150mm. | | Bike Setup: | Haro X1, Hayes Nine, Sumo wheels. | | Bottom Line: | Very impressed! Great buy for an normal freerider. If you want more travel you have to go for a 66 but think that is at least double price. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

And with an air pump it can be really stiff or really soft depending on where ur riding or ur style. anyway the bottom line is it is very versatile and a quality build. Really anyone from a hardcore XCier or an ameuter downhill racer could get it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
