| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Price Paid: | $600 |
| Purchased At: | local shop |
| Strengths: | very smooth, really like the new quick release axle. for the price in my opinion the best fork out there |
| Weaknesses: | the only things i can say arent the greatest arethat the disc mount only fits 6 inch disc brakes (unless there is a special adapter made specifically for this fork) and the tst when it is unlocked, it is in a really easy position to be hit into lock, probably not good for the fork to land a 10 foot drop with it locked |
| Similar Products Tried: | manitou stance, manitou sherman, marzocchi 55 |
| Bike Setup: | completely tricked out jackal |
| Bottom Line: | well i have only been riding this fork for a few weeks, but it is the smoothest fork ive ever tried, tst has 5 different selections, not just lock and unlock, and it is a great product for the price. only gets 4 chilis overall though because of the weaknesses above |

| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Strengths: | feels like a mini-66 with a little less adjustability. reasonable weight for the price. |
| Weaknesses: | the tst2 control looks easy to accidentally turn on. I wish it was more difficult to turn because I won't ever use it. Also I have been told there is no blow off so if you land a drop with it on you could damage your internals (both yours and your forks) |
| Similar Products Tried: | totem, nixon, fox36, 66, revelation |
| Bike Setup: | reignx |
| Bottom Line: | What unreal value out of this fork. Having used most of the high end single crowns (and been disappointed), this was refreshing. the first few inches are soft, then ramps up well. The height for ramp up is adjustable with the air preload. I have 20psi in the left leg for preload which feels balanced for the rear end of the bike. 6lbs is a full pound heavier than the fox36, but at the price you could afford to buy this fork and a lighter wheelset for the same cost as the fox! |
