Had the 140mm version of this fork fitted to 2 different bikes over the past year. Nice and smooth, not too heavy, no maintenance problems and not too pricey if you're on a budget.
I had two of these... First one was faulty... So they gave me the top notch version and it was AWESOME...and super freakn light, though a bit fleet for DJ

A great fork communicates everything that's happening between your tire and the trail, without jarring loose any expensive dental work. In the past, though, you had to accept a weight penalty in order to gain rock-solid steering. The Minute is here to change all that with its ultra-stiff 32mm stanchions, MARS Air spring, and available Hex Lock thru-axle. Forget about noodly XC forks and heavy trail forks. It's time for a Minute.

| Crown | Single | |

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 | 7050 Butted AL | |
| Steer Tube | 1.125 | |
| DropOut Options | Regular QR | |
| Compression | TPC Technology Absolute+, Trail Tuned |
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.
