Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by element22   on September 2, 2009   Pros Light weight and stiff. A good fork for those who want to go fast on the trails Cons A bit too light weight for those who are 200+ Verdict Good fork once you spend the time getting the sag and settings correct. Great for those who want to save weight on their bike. reviewed by jtoreygomez   on September 2, 2009   Pros Extremely light, No lateral flex, absorbs any light or technical bumps, race ready Cons slightly narrow stanchion tubes for trail use, cheap stickers Verdict I own the Super model of this fork (has absolute damping with full lock out) and would recommend to anyone looking for a great fork that will reduce their bikes weight by a full pound!
