    Date Reviewed: February 28, 2008
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Purchased At:LBS
    Strengths:Smooth travel, ease of ajustibility, effective ajustibility, lock out, light.
    Weaknesses:Requires extensive maintenence, slightly to linear, odd instruction manual with limited/vauge information.
    Bike Setup:Giant trance
    Bottom Line:This fork is smooth, functional, and ajustible. I would personaly like a slightly more progressive fork so that I could still run the soft presures for the small bump absorbtion, but not bottom on the more harsh hits. Other than that, a better manual would be welcomed, as the current one is incomplete, and almost incorrect about what some of the settings do.
    Overall a good smooth fork for xc and xc trail use.

    Bike Setup:29er GF X-Caliber, Thompson post and stem, Cane Creek Wheelset
    Bottom Line:This is an outstanding fork! I ride some pretty nasty stuff, and this fork keeps on going. Pop-loc is a great feature. I use it on every ride. The fork is easy to adjust, and I have not had any problems at all. It does not leak air. Highly recommended.

    Submitted by Jake a Cross Country Rider from Pittsburgh
    Date Reviewed: January 24, 2007
    Favorite Trail:Bavington
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Purchased At:Come stock on Trek 8000
    Strengths:Light, ease of adjustment. Quick break-in.
    Weaknesses:None known. I hear it flexes more than a Fox fork... malarky.
    Similar Products Used:None. I was spring/elastomer since forever.
    Bike Setup:Stock Trek 8000
    Bottom Line:I run this at 140psi in pos. and neg. chambers, floodgate tight. Only ridden in super cold, so the springrate (air pressure) was probably a bit low while the damping rate (oil business) was probably high. The fork was very surprisingly stable - floated me over many many frozen ruts, kept them completely off of my mind. Isn't that what this thing is for? I went fast.

    Date Reviewed: November 28, 2006
    Favorite Trail:lake Plastira, Karditsa
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $400.00
    Purchased At:Cycles 4U - Germany
    Strengths:Its plush, easy to adjust, I like the poplock. It is also very stiff. Most of all, for my needs it tracks really well!
    Weaknesses:None so far.
    Similar Products Used:04 Sid, Rst T5 Gila and a FOX RL
    Bike Setup:Ideal Hillmaster frame, Shimano Xt all around, raceface handlebar, stem. vuelta rims, sram hubs and kenda koyote tires
    Bottom Line:I know it's heavier than SID but then again I am 90kgs and I don't like my bike to flex were it should't. It's a new addition to my bike but up to now it is very good. Let's just see how it holds up against time. I do have a tendency to rip bikes apart.

    Purchased At:Performance
    Strengths:+/- ability to dampen compression via two way air pressure.
