| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Price Paid: | $99 |
| Purchased At: | Bicycle Shop |
| Strengths: | Suitable for riding on gravel roads and paved paths. |
| Weaknesses: | Not tough enough for anything other than the occasional crack. |
| Bike Setup: | Old specialized hard tail. |
| Bottom Line: | This is an update to my previous review about 3 weeks ago. The bottom half separated from the top today while I was riding some single track during lunch. Considering they haven't seen anything much rougher than curbs and rooty single track, I am really disgusted. As other reviewers have said, these are junk. |

| FavoriteTrail: | All trails |
| Duration Product Used: | 6 months |
| Purchased At: | Local bike shop |
| Strengths: | Adjustable rebound.Good handling. |
| Weaknesses: | none yet. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Rockshox Jett c |
| Bike Setup: | Mongoose Otero Elite |
| Bottom Line: | Ive ridden on some pretty good trails and jumped with it.It soaked up everything and the adj rebound helps the front tire stick to the trail or rock.I agree with some of the other reviews about weight,if your over 180 look for something stiffer.It seems a little mooshy "soft" and im just pushin 155.So far so good,I like it, YeeeHaaaa!!!! |

| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Price Paid: | $99 |
| Purchased At: | Local Bike Shop |
| Strengths: | Good rebound damping, seems pretty tough but don't expect miracles. Available for 1" head tubes. |
| Weaknesses: | Spring is on the light side. |
| Bike Setup: | 96 Hardrock, stock except for forks. |
| Bottom Line: | Good fork for the money. For 200 dollars it's got some competition, but for $100, it's a bargain. I bought it to extend the capabilities of my old Specialized Hardrock and it certainly makes for a much improved ride. The spring is a little light though. I weigh about 170 lbs and have the pre-load cranked down most of the way. If you weigh over 190 lbs this is not the shock for you. 2-3 foot drops are no problem, but if you are thinking DH or FR, think again. |
