Strengths:
The fork came on my Eastern, it was pretty smooth,20mm front axle,doesnt bottom out easy.
Weaknesses:
the rebound on the fork doesnt do to much when you adjust it. so pretty much more air you put in more rebound your getting.

Bottom Line:
great ride for a lower end item plenty of travel for anyone unless you are crazy and like 10'+ drops to flat only thing I would do is put a lockout on it, but I beleive ALL suspension should have lock outs, so I am biased

Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:
$350.00
Strengths:
Took a ride for first time with my new fork past weekend. It is very light, very stiff and comfortable. I impressed myself the way i took the hills down, even got some congratulations by my weekend team partners. I didn't loose control neither on very technical nor very fast stages. In resume is a very good buy. Cheap.
Weaknesses:
I don't believe that this is a weakness but initially it had a strange noise that disappeared later. Still has an oil squeeze noise, may be normal.

Bike Setup:
Haro X1, Hayes Nine, Sumo wheels.
Bottom Line:
Very impressed! Great buy for an normal freerider. If you want more travel you have to go for a 66 but think that is at least double price.

Strengths:

Bottom Line:
its a great fork u can use it for practically anything because it is so light. And with an air pump it can be really stiff or really soft depending on where ur riding or ur style. anyway the bottom line is it is very versatile and a quality build. Really anyone from a hardcore XCier or an ameuter downhill racer could get it.

Good fork for beginner freerider like myself. It's my first air fork and I was afraid it would be too stiff, but it is not. Make sure you get an air pump with it.
