late 2008 .......

Do you want a 9 pound fork? get a 2002 monster......
12 pound fork? 2003 monster or newer...
7-8 pound fork? 888....Shiver

im think of head angle more i guess because big hits take the 170mm and i dont know what year if any when the monster t is 7 inches.

02 Big HIT + 04 Monster = FUN

I have a 2002 Big Hit with the big link upgrade and a 2004 Monster T. I absolutely love it. Everytime I think about getting something lighter I go for a ride and my mind is set at ease again. If 12lbs is too heavy then do some pushups and get stonger. I have no regrets that my forks weight 12lbs.

yah, im also 80% of the people on this board are strong enough to lift up a 12 pound fork no problem. its just the fact a lighter fork is better for racing because u go faster. Better for freeriding because u can throw it around easier and what not. pedaling around is easier. my friend has a 2003 monster t2 thats 12 pounds, yeah, he can pedals it around fine, he can bust it out on drops, but a lighter fork is better for everything, you cant loose with going to a lighter fork, just win. you may have no regrets its 12 pounds, but i bet if u had a lighter fork you would think ur monster was unnesisary weight.

I used to have a similar setup, had a 02 Comp (with biglink) and an 03 Monster T. I definitely loved it. While now (I'm a bit of a wanna-be racer johnny ) I'd probably not get another one, I definitely enjoyed having it. The 03+ Monster forks with the ShiverMX cartridges feel completely unique to any other fork I've ever ridden. It was just about the plushest fork I've ever had and felt bottomless.

Trust me, if you spend regular time on an actual 03+ Monster T (not the T2) then you'd know why people love the way they ride. While for racing and such it does suck, for a freeride bike that's mostly being used for bighits and having fun it's amazing. It just takes a bit to get used to it but afterwards it's awesome.

I think he is talking about the F-Works edition. For Flintstones

Here's Some Math! YAY!

bighits + Monster's = Awsome. I ran A 2003 monster on mine.

You must have weighed it without oil, springs, and upper crown! Mine was 14 pounds on a ups scale.

If you cant answer this yourself, then you probably dont need a Monster T.
