They aren't high quality so why would you trust them? If you want to use a RST DJ fork try the RST Space, then you will see their real DJ fork, but even that breaks.

That is one case man... Not all the forks are going to be like there... There are these things called lemons and everyone makes them... Rock Shox, Marzocchi, Manitou, and every other company... Its the way the world works... And how do we know that he rode them the way the manufacturer said they should be rode? He could have been abusing them.

Its a given that any lower quality fork will break, but either way its going to happen to any fork that is abused. Somewhere on here there is a pic of a fox 40 thats snapped at the crown, and ive worked on a bike at my lbs which had a 07 36Talas and had cracks at the dropouts. Im not saying FOX is a bad company but the point is that any fork no-matter what company or manufacturer has the potential for failure, its just a matter of when.

Just my 2 cents

RST stuff has always been pretty poor quality. Not saying that they don't have good stuff out there, but they do have a history of crappy product.
