'SUPERB ALL ROUNDER'

Strengths:
Having run these forks for 8 months now they have soaked up everything i have thrown at them. Drops, jumps and Welsh singletrack.

Weaknesses:
Yeah, they may be heavy but that weight is reasuring isn`t it? I have also noticed a clicking when on smooth ground but just assumed it was the valves in the legs.

Overall:
Low maintainance, low price and high quality. Stick `em on a hardtail, get your weight to the front and enjoy. Don`t worry about the weight as the uphill struggle is worth it coming back down.

'BEST TANDEM FORK EVER'

Strengths:
strength, action, 104mm travel

Weaknesses:
weak - nah!

Overall:
Finally found a fork that suits my mounaitn bike tandems - Look and KHS.
I didn't even need to change the springs - 0.7 bars in the air preload is enough. They soak up abuse like nothing I've ridden before and I can still put my feet flat on the ground when I stop.

'BULLET PROOF FORKS!'

Strengths:
They have sweet travel and a good damping system. These monsters will not snap or pop on you. They are also extreamly adjustable

Weaknesses:
There's nothing wrong with them, some people think that they are too heavy, but thats what you get for dirt jumping and having 32mm stanchions!

Overall:
These are great forks, I can handle 30ft lips and launch 40 sets of stairs! Very affordable. A great fork.

'BOMBPROOF'

Strengths:
strength - these things arent going to give up easily! nice anount of very progressive travel.

Weaknesses:
clicky sound.
very heavy indeed!

Overall:
beast of a fork, only not for serious xc use, unless you're some beast yourself!
look cool too, and work very well.
simple and quite adjutable,
very cheap.
