Pros:
Great suspension for serious offroading and for regular street use.
Cons:
lets see.. i had bike for about 2 weeks then the adjustment just stopped working for some reason. So i got it replaced and next day.. same problem. Not only is it not adjustable, but it lost almost all of its dampening and rebound.
Time Used:
Less Than A Month
Comments:

Pros:
it is a light fork and does make most trails nice and smooth
Cons:
when the going gets ruff the fork bottoms out very easy. can handle some drops but not very comfortably. not enough travel.
Time Used:
1 Year
Comments:
when running it at the reccommended psi the fork bottoms out very easy. the psi that i ran the fork at for my liking was suposivily dangerous and the fork could be destroyed.
The travel is supposed to be 80-100 but i cant even measure 100 and it only compresses about 3/4 of the way before it bottoms out.
