This is a bran new 03 Super Monster T which has 12" of smooth endless travel. Even though it is mounted on my Banshee it has only been riden 5 times. There are no scratches and there is plenty of extra steer tube. This fork blasts through any trail and owns any ski hill. Since I am all about riding the skinneys, it turned out that this fork isn't for me. I will consider trades for an 8" Monster T (not T2) or 888R. $1100.00
