Date Reviewed: June 5, 2008
Duration Product Used:6 months
Purchased At:Bicycles Inc
Strengths:Strong steer tube (thats all)
Weaknesses:The bottom half is weak and gets wobbly, springs are way too soft, they stick in cold weather, and the adjustments dont work after a hard landing (ever again)(you turn them too far and they go back to the softest setting)
Bike Setup:08 Hardrock Comp, cane creek headset, and halo wheels.
Bottom Line:If you just like riding your bike slow on easy trails these would probally ok for you, but lay off stoppies and riding over anything higher than a curb.
I woludn't recommend these to every day thrashers.

Favoriate Trail:Anything thats fas!!!
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $200.00
Purchased At:Came as stock!
Strengths:Price, looks great, good pre load adjuster.Held up suprislingly well on rough trails, roots rock gardens no problems.
Weaknesses:Strenght!!! - Although this fork holds up well on trails, its not very good at taking any form of drop. I know its not designed for that use but, I slightly twisted these forks with a rough landing froma small 3 fott drop off. But I have to add, they still didnt bottom out. (If the did there was no rough clank noise.)
Similar Products Used:Loads, Rock Shox dart etc
Bike Setup:08 Specialized hard Rock Comp Disk, stock apart from crank bros egg beaters cl, and deore XT cassette and rear mech.
Bottom Line:I will replace these forks soon, but thats because Im quite an aggressive rider. They are good for a level entry, and If your bike comes with these as stock, dont be put off their perfect for entry level and then you can replace them after a while without feeling youve waisted your money. --- Very good for price.!
