Cons: drops out going off any huck greater than 3 feet...also a little soft but maybe thats because im 215 oh well

Pros: Nice rigid fork. Has alot of travel, I and i find myslef using the u-turn nob more often then i expected. Good for for all mountain riding. Rebound ajuster under the left leg.
Cons: Spring is way to soft. I easially bottom it out on a 3 footer (i weigh 155). It needs to be stiffer. I would spend the extra cash and get a Manitou Minute 3:00.
Time Used: 3 Months
Comments: Good fork, too soft though.

Pros: Super smooth right from the word go. U Turn makes theose nasty climbs no so.
Cons: None as yet apart from the manual. DO NOT attempt to crank the fork up to 125mm as stated in the manual, as I and many others have done. As the fork has negitive travel the max the U Turn dial should be turned to is 116mm.
Time Used: Less Than A Month
Comments: A super fork which has saved my ass on more than one ocasion when things have turnes sour.
