$360.00 | | Purchased At: | Direct from X-Fusion | | Strengths: | Could be good for someone who doesn't weigh very much, but i wouldn't know since I'm a 140 pound fatty :) | | Weaknesses: | Tops out if you're not light, no preload adjust on the R except for changing the air pressure, feels sketchy to ride :( | | Similar Products Used: | Fox float, SR Suntour, Fox 40, Boxxer Team, other forks on friends bikes | | Bike Setup: | My hardtail is an Ironhorse Yakuza Chimpira and now I don't ride it because of the velvet fork. It used to ride fine, now it doesn't. Now I ride my Morewood :) | | Bottom Line: | This fork is the worst choice I've ever made in my life, and I've lit my hand on fire so there is some competition :)
If you want an expensive fork to eat your dinner with, you should get this.... but don't try riding on it.
The only way I would get another is if X-Fusion redesigns it entirely and makes it work how a mountainbike fork should. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
