Date Reviewed: December 23, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Bally Track/Possum's | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Came stock on my STP0, from Spearman Cycles | | Strengths: | Solid feeling, almost Landcriuser like air of indestructibility, looks quite nice, full compression still gives you a bit of slack to play with, unlike RST Gillas. Great all-rounder. | | Weaknesses: | At full decompression, this thing is still pretty damn hard. A long way from plush. Rebound adjuster falls out if you forget to remove it and I'm not paying $20AU for a fancy-pants allen key. | | Similar Products Used: | RS Judy C, DJ 2s and 3s, RST Gilla | | Bike Setup: | Stock 08' STP0 with Minion fronts instead of Holly Rollers. | | Bottom Line: | This is a great fork for DJ bikes with an eye for a bit of trail work. Motion control does have a noticeable effect, as does the rebound adjust, just remember that red adjust knob is an Allen key that WILL fall out if you leave it in. The fork is a bit on the stiff side, but that may be due to the fact I weight 60kg and the fork is probably set up for someone a lot heavier. I use it mainly for light DH, trails and the odd stuff around on the street. It's a great fork, and despite my ineptitude on a bike, all I've managed to do is scratch the lowers slightly.
A great all-rounder, would heartily recommend. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 18, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | DIRT JUMPS | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Rebound/Compression feels awesome. Adjustments awesome. Can completely mod the fork how ever you like it, awesome. Doesnt have that stupid end cap on the steer tube like pikes do so you CAN run a head lock on the argyle. | | Weaknesses: | Comes with a rockshox sweat wrist band, but doubles as a coozie. | | Similar Products Used: | Gold Label 2, PIKE series | | Bike Setup: | BLK MRKT/ATOMLAB | | Bottom Line: | awesome. I immediately opened up my fork and by adding spacers to the spring side compression rod (spacers fit under the top out spring) and dropped the fork to 70mm. Cut the original preload cap and added a few spacers to make it stiff at 70mm. Rebound/Compression untouched and its the best fork I've ridden in a long time. Very adjustable for all kinds of riding. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$400.00 | | Purchased At: | Chainreactioncycles | | Strengths: | Everything actually, weight, looks, the damping is smooth, the maxle 360 system is wonderful and it's easy to adjust. | | Weaknesses: | The rebound adjuster is located at a pretty dangerous place(under the right leg) The fork sounds rather weird when its compressed, it's clicking. | | Similar Products Used: | the whole Mz dirtjumper serie, junior t, manitou stance static | | Bike Setup: | Identiti dr jekyll, halo sas, deity components. | | Bottom Line: | Overall this fork is lovely! Better then all the other dirt forks i've ever tried still the rebound adjuster is a pretty sketchy factor. If you're thinking of buying it, do it! you won't get dissapointed. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$450.00 | | Purchased At: | Norda's | | Strengths: | Strengths? Everything. Feels super good, has all the adjustments you need (the preload adjustment is unreal), and the maxle 360 is my best friend. | | Weaknesses: | Eh, the color options, and the super long rebound adjuster makes me a bit nervous. | | Similar Products Used: | Marzocchi DJ 3 | | Bike Setup: | DMR trailstar, Transition Revolution wheelset, etc. | | Bottom Line: | Sweet dirt jump fork. Assuming it holds up, I'll love it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
