Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by ChiliPepper   on June 1, 2009   Pros I have the '07 145mm fork on my sons FR rig and I love it. It is bomb proof! Cons Pricey Verdict If you want a very tough but light fork shock, this is one. Makes a great FR fork! Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by blakeovard   on July 24, 2007   Pros The increased travle over the '06 model, looks, and it is bomb proof. Cons pricey Verdict smooth as silk over some extreme terrain. You ride a mountain bike fr a reason, get a shock that does what it is supposed to do. Buy this (but haggle fr a good deal)!
