Date Reviewed: November 25, 2000 | | Favoriate Trail: | Severed Dick | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | This is the plushest fork that I have ever owned. It is also very adjustable. The negative spring was a bit of a mystery for me. I had the fork set way to plush at first. I spoke with Rene at RS and he gave me a few tips that brought the fork to life!!! Man can you say, "There for you in all situations!" | | Weaknesses: | The fork is a bit flexy. | | Similar Products Used: | RS Judy SL '96, Judy XC '99, Zokes Z.2 2001 for a short ride | | Bike Setup: | Serotta CST with all the bells and whistles! | | Bottom Line: | This is a great racing/fast riding fork. The bit of flex is not noticeable in most situations. I feel that 80mm of travel is and excellent amount for fast single track with a few drops thrown in for good measure. As with all bike bits this is just my opinion and you should try out this fork to form your own.
This fork would have gotten five chilis if it was a hydra air fork with the negative spring and larger diameter stanchions. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$400.00 | | Strengths: | nice long endless travel if you are light. phat red color. dual crown version!! dual air very sweet. | | Weaknesses: | a little unlaterally stiff. bent the rebound adjuster on bottom pretty useless thing anyways.. completely tweaks out headtube angle and bb clearance | | Similar Products Used: | a ton... | | Bike Setup: | trek 8000 frame | | Bottom Line: | great for light weight frorider. very plush and soft, not too active and a good bargain, also very light. AIR IS THE BEST, unless you ride zochs .nothing beats a zoch, but this comes very close, also much lighter than one! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

I payed big dollars and was underwhelmed by the noodley response of this fork. I recommend looking into the Marzochi xFly Z1 - best fork I've ever ridden. | | Weaknesses: | Way to flexible and noodely | | Similar Products Used: | Marzochi BAM, xFly Z1, Monatue, etx | | Bike Setup: | Independent Fab with XTR, USC Post, custome wheels. | | Bottom Line: | NOODLE!!! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Kenosha Pass to Georgia Pass | | Duration Product Used: |
3 months | | Strengths: |
infinitely adjustable, responsive | | Weaknesses: |
takes some care and willingness to get it zoned in the way you like it | | Similar Products Used: |
Marzochi, not really comparable... heavy, plush, long travel on a FS bike | | Bike Setup: |
Cannondale CAAD-3 frame, XTR, light weight hardtail | | Bottom Line: | I ride hard on fast, rocky singletrack. This fork takes the big hits as well as smoothing out the little stuff. So light that going up over water bars, rocks is full fun! Better than you would think bombing downhills. | Overall Rating: |
