| FavoriteTrail: | Mountains around Malang |
| Duration Product Used: | 3 months |
| Purchased At: | Semeru Bike Store |
| Strengths: | So easy to set up, so light yet so stiff and strong! My front end doesn't flex when I swing the bike, also it handle nasty ground easily. |
| Weaknesses: | None whatsoever. |
| Similar Products Tried: | This is my first 36mm stanchion diameter & my first 20mm quick release front axle fork. |
| Bike Setup: | Stock 2008 Giant Reign X-1 (Fox 36 Van R, Fox DHX Coil 3.0), plus a Shimano M545 pedal. The fork came with the bike. |
| Bottom Line: | Fox is always makes the best suspension money can buy. My first Fox fork is 2005 32 Talas 130 RLC, fitted on Commencal VIP Supernormal, and it's still deliver its job perfectly. I'm sure my 36 Van will do the same. It's perfect for folks who need a lightweight & heavy duty fork which easy to operate and without a premium price. Just ride and hit anything and no worries about the fork! |

| Bottom Line: | You get what you pay for, awesome strength to weight ratio. With the new QR 20mm this fork has stepped up to the top. Simple to dial in and so far they have wanted more and more and not come up short. They look so fly - Bye Bye Rockshox and Marzocchi - Fox are back on top !!! |
