Compare to other Forks

“DJ fork and bombproof do it all fork.”

The Good: Strong, great looking easy adjustments, not heavy for a DJ fork, very rigid axle that inspires confidence

The Bad: Make longer travel versions!

Overall Review:

If you are male and drink beer and you want a 100mm travel fork this is your fork of choice. Nothing beats it for 100mm. If they made a longer travel version, I'd use it for AM/FR too!

“if a fox 831 is the caddilac of dj forks then this is a flying ferrari tank”

The Good: DURABILITY- at rays mtb park fox 831s and Argyle RCTs were breaking all the time and these were always the replacements.
Responsive- this fork is the definition of plush. it is a snap to adjust and you can dial it in soooooooo perfectly
Stiff- in the suspension and in the axle. manitou has outdone themselves with the 20mm hex lock
Light- for a tank like this its feather weight
AFFORDABLE- looking to pay less AND perform more? well i wouldnt reccomend dropping $800-$900 on an Argyle or 831

The Bad: if your into 4x the weight might take front seat but durability will pay off

Overall Review:

This fork is a light, stiff, plush versatile tank. IT is sooo beefy compared to the competition. This thing is a tank and an 831 is a go cart. Seriously. The suspension it so responsive and smooth and manitou created a lock out that can take hits without being destroyed unlike rock shocks lock out. PERFECT
