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.
