| Bottom Line: | Rigth out off the Box and mounted them onto my DH bike and setting them up to the rigth adjustments.This fork is so plush it's actually saging into it's travel off the weigth off the rider,the fork feels realy but awesome on turns and it soaks up the big hits with no problem.This is by far the best fork i now ride other forks didn't feel as nice as this magnificent 888 does and it's realy ligth in compairisson with most DH forks except the Boxxer WC.The 160mm - 200mm travel adjustment is a big bonus and works realy realy great.At 2.9kg with great adjustments and butter smooth damping this fork is one off the best Air DH air forks out there.Highly recommended on any other DH bikes out there. |

| Duration Product Used: | 3 months |
| Strengths: | Light, Smooth Travel, Very Adjustable,Beefy,Best 888 To Date |
| Weaknesses: | None |
| Similar Products Tried: | Fox 40 RC2,888 RC2X,RC,Boxer WC |
| Bike Setup: | Demo 8 |
| Bottom Line: | These are so improved over last years fork, the travel is smoother than a coil, better lowers, no ata wind down. I had problems with the 07 888 rc2x's being rough at any speed but slow over med to rough trails, not with these forks they smooth out trail so much it almost feels like riding on asphalt. I didn't fully realize it until I rode my friends bike(He has the same bike but with 06 888 rc2x's) down the same trail what a difference, now he wants to get the forks there that good.Looking to buy new forks get these you will be amazed at how good they are. |

| Strengths: | very stiff and smooth. best air fork that i have felt. |
| Weaknesses: | the par chamber. when i got the fork i wasnt getting all of the travel out of it. my buddy took the par chamber out and it made the fork 200 times better. sooooo much smoother and i get all the travel |
| Similar Products Tried: | boxxer teams, good but flexy |
| Bike Setup: | 07 sunday wc |
| Bottom Line: | LOVE THIS FORK. like i said id recommend taking out the par to any one considering this fork. corners well. so much stiffer than my boxxers. |
