The forks are the original Suntour Duro fork which seemed to be OK and the guy I sold the bike to hasn't had any problems so far (although 12 inches of snow is making the local jumps a bit awkward). all in all for a budget bike these are a pretty good choice, solid with nice geometry. A sound base to upgrade from without anything needing to be replaced immediatly, I'd recommend it.
