Reviews
Pros: Rugged and Great Bargin
Cons: Weight
Recommendation: I have had these forks for over a year and they a rugged. The Lockout is great for hard pack and pavement.

Pros: Reasonably performing entry level fork. Some adjustability
Cons: Weight
Recommendation: These forks are fitted to some entry/medium level bikes. They perform better than many stock RST, Suntour forks and make a cheap upgrade.

Pros: Lockout, Easy to Adjust
Cons: Weight?
Recommendation: Love this fork. Love that I can engage lockout while riding, (a first for me), how quickly I was able to dial preload, and how in a year of crashes, I haven't had a single problem with it.

Pros: Fully adjustable. But most notable is the ride. I weigh 270lbs and these are awesome forks. I have owned them over a year now, no leaks, no problems
Cons: I dont have any, other than I wanted these black, and the place I bought them from didnt have black in stock, so I got a silver one
Recommendation: I bought these about two months after I bought my Trek 4300 last year. The stock Suntour forks had no adjustments, and just felt like cheap forks. I put on the Rock shox and couldnt believe the difference. I have read people had trouble with these forks leaking, mine never has
