I've been using this fork for 3 weeks and have been pretty
impressed so far. To me, it's very stiff and my steering in
the rocks have improved greatly. I've upgraded from the
MARS, which was upgraded from the old SX-R. I liked the SX-R
a lot. The MARS was very flexy for me. I weigh 195 lbs.
What I like on this fork is I can change from 90mm to 120mm
externally, and the Lock-out is awesome. I can't feel the
extra weight this fork had over the MARS (air). The only
thing I don't like is the noise the rebound makes. Kinda of
a squishing sound. Don't know if this is normal, but
everything is working great. Performancebike.com had these
for $299 which I thought was a misprint since everywhere
else is selling for $399.
It got a lot more smooth over the 3 weeks I had the fork.
After using the lock-out switch a lot the first few days,
I've learned to only use it on steep smooth uphills. The
suspension is really good unlocked, it hardly bobs, but I do
concentrate on pedalling smoothly.
I use a fox float R for my rear suspension, and the front
and back are working very good together.
I'm a very picky person, and so far, I like this fork a lot.
I originally wanted to get a FOX, but don't have the money.
This is a good alternative, I think.
