Dang. That trail has some pretty serious consequences if you scrape a bar on the rock or something- awesome video though!

You have it dead on with you comment. I couldn't do it. I would get freaked out and start losing it. Exactly how not too do things, I know. But its still a cool trail and it would be really neat to be able to ride somewhere like that.

Great video and awesome trail, the views alone would be worth a ride! With that said I've been looking into Suntour as a more serious competitor with the release of this fork along with their longer Durolux TA RC2 or RC2 AM/FR fork. I'm not ready to make the switch yet but I'm certainly keeping an eye on them - nice work Suntour!

Woah........couldn't do that here.....H&S would be blocking that trail in their high viz and marking it of a bloody clip board.

That trail rocks, big balls for riding it man, fair play!

140 is long travel? Nice video. Like most ads on this site it does little to actually inform me or give me an idea how it will work for me.

Wow, i still remember when suntour made crappy department store forks for their main revenue. Now look how far they've come, with riders like James Doerfling and a wider range of forks. Props to the brand that decided to take up real mountain biking.

Amazingly scary trail. I thought the Zugspitze-X vid was gnarly enough. RIGHT! make a good ol' shreddin' vid with Herr Schumann!

It looked like that one may have had a blown seal.

Honestly these days I'd ride anything from them instead of my shitty boxxer that feels like shit even after a rebuild.

I've got 2010 Epicon TAD 15QLC with 100-140mm adjustable travel (remote lever on handlebar). Weight about 1,9kg. Working nice, stiff and sensitive enough. For me it's pretty nice fork, especially for it's low price.

Am I the only one who thinks the Smooth Jazzy 96kbps audio track is not the best choice?

panzer103 (Jul 19, 2012 at 17:35)

Its an unusual choice for sure. After reading your comment I started to think about it some. I guess he wasn't like shredding or really tearing things up perhaps metal isn't the right choice either. But lord knows I cant stomach that techo stuff anymore and rap (imo only) is for the more urban folk. I guess it work well enough for me in this instance.

I found the song played well with the edit. It's different but the riding was quite smooth so the smooth song was fitting imo.

breakfasthero (Jul 21, 2012 at 4:50)

i thought it was spot on, makes the video more mellow and accentuates the technicality of the riding rather than how fast hes going and just bombing over everything. chris akrigg uses the same kind of idea apart from when he uses shitty dance music

Music didn't fit at all. One of the sketchiest trails I've ever seen and this vid was ruined by poor music choice..
