A bit on the heavy side but you don't notice on the way down which is where the smooth coil shock comes into its element (obviously). Great on jumps and drops but also handles technical sections well. Since moving up onto a long travel bike the domain has given me confidence to go big. All in all a good long travel fork if you're on a budget.
Cheap, strong and tuff...like me! I am very impressed with this fork. For an entry level shockker it is very stout and surprisingly plush. Mine was set up perfect for me out of the box, and honestly is nearly as confidence inspiring as my Super T Pro was.
You cant go wrong if you are looking for a tuff, strong and dependable fork for your mid budget freeride bike.

If you're on a tight budget these forks rock , got mine off ebay for £160 although some have gone for less and paid another £100 for the u-turn assembly,motion control kit and all the knobs from the US
These forks are really strong , track well ,with no noticable flex not that sensitive over small bumps unless you fit the motion control damper and do the shim mod, then the forks come alive. With the shim mod you can turn the compression all the way to locked and still have 20-30mm of travel for the small bumps but with enough support to kill pedal feedback , brake dive and G outs through railed turns and take big hits. I also have the u-turn spring that i sometimes use if i know i'll be doing lots of climbing. Servicing is a really easy as is maintenance.

i love how durable they are, i have took some really hard hits with them and they still work fine, i used to have dual crown Marzocchi 888 Rcv and they broke on some of the drops i hit,
This fork is great. It can handle any drop, jump, or rock garden. I take it on the ski resorts, freeride parks, and different downhill trails.
I recommend! It's really a great fork. I'm delighted with him. Great job. Super stiff. I do not have any problems with it. It is completely maintenance free.

| Travel | 160 or 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 | Magnesium, Maxle 360 20mm axle, post disc mount | |
| Rebound | External Rebound |
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 | 35mm, 4130 taper wall Steel, chrome | |
| Steer Tube | 1.125 | |
| Damping | Rebound |
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 | Maxle | |
| Compression | no adjustment |
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.
