I rode this fork for around 2 years an never had any problems at all. It is stiff, plush, and strong as hell. It is also fairly heavy and not very adjustable compared to similar forks.
I have both the 180 and 203 singles. Awesome fork! Best feeling stroke out there. Super reliable, easy to maintain. Low a-c heights compared to Fox and Zoke. Affordable.
Ive got the 2006, there plush, stiff and good quality for the money, all round good fork, just not as goodas totems

| Travel | 180 mm |
Travel - refers to the distance the wheel can move in respect to the frame. Typically measured in millimeters, most forks range from 80 to 203 mm of travel
|
| Spring | Coil | |
| Crown | Single | |
| Body Type | One piece Reverse Arch (RA) Magnesium | |
| Rebound | Rebound, Compression, Cartridge Air |
Rebound - is how quick your fork returns to a fully extended position after being compressed. Almost all after-market forks feature external rebound adjustment for easy fine tuning.

| Stanchion material | 34mm Gold Al | |
| Steer Tube | 1.125 | |
| Damping | Cartridge Air Backed IFP Intrinsic |
Damping - The process of absorbing the energy of impacts transmitted through the forks or rear shock during the compression stroke, and absorbing the energy of the spring during the rebound stroke.
|
| DropOut Options | 20mm | |
| Compression | IFP Intrinsic |
Compression - This is the damping circuit that absorbs the compression energy force on the damper. Compression damping is used to adjust how quickly a fork or rear shock compresses when hitting a bump, and is adjustable on some products. When compression damping is too soft, this condition allows most of the available travel to be used without attaining control of the wheel. When it's adjusted too firmly, the wheel will jump or "dance" about when hitting small bumps, again failing to gain control of the wheel.
