Favorite Trail:
None
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Strengths:
Good performer, good travel avg. weight ~2.1Kgs-2.2kgs
Weaknesses:
Seem to have weak seals, I have a little too much oil around the 1 seal. Very little adjustments available. U-turn - more of a gimic, Lock out and rebound adjustment. The shock gives a feel of play on the front wheel when going over rough terrain.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Scott MC40 2008, only mods thus far are: Sella Italia C2 Gel seat and Maxxis Crossmark tyres.
Bottom Line:
A good value for money shock, but I can't wait for the day I can get a Fox to replace it. Don't get me wrong it does most of the work well, but it just has a cheap feel to it. My shock has plastic lock out and U-turn knobs.

Purchased At:
Burkes Cycles (NZ)
Strengths:
Great value for money. 32mm stanchions, smooth performance, remote lockout supplied (plastic), adjustable rebound. Metal adjusters.
Weaknesses:
Seals blew on my first ride. But Rock Shox fixed them for free under warranty. Havent had a problem since.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Specialized Enduro. LX/XT drivetrain,
Bottom Line:
Apart from the seals going I can't fault these forks. This fork would suit the average trail rider but would be more than capable of a bit of lite F/R as well.
Well done Rock Shox for not using plastic adjustor knobs or caps.
