Submitted by andy stat a Weekend Warrior from Severn, MD
Date Reviewed: August 10, 2007
Favorite Trail:DC Streets
Duration Product Used:6 months
Purchased At:Pedal Pushers - Severna Park, MD
Strengths:Steering is responsive, amoun of travel, adjustable travel, adjustable rebound, 20mm axle
Weaknesses:20mm axle attachement - a QR would be a nice feature due to how often I drive to ride, non-adjustable compression
Similar Products Used:none
Bike Setup:Jamis Komodo - all factory w/ 2.4 Holy Rollers.
Bottom Line:The Komodo is my first dirt/street/jump specific bike. The fork is great but it is too soft for someone like myself who is 200+ lbs. It soaks up hits well but gets bouncy when you start to hammer. It also dives when you're hard on the brakes. I'm not sure if it can be stiffened up; I hope it can since I don't want to swap forks.
