But it still doesn't live up to the high standards of performance that Zokes has thrown at riders for about 2 yrs now. I like the weight, but it comes at the expense of flex. I also had a problem with a cracked crown after a mdoerate crash. Even after I repaired them I could could never shake the feeling of having a delicate fragile fork. Not good for instilling confidence on fast techy dh's.
Price is also a bit high for an average fork.
I think I have bottomed them a few times but am not sure as the spring bottoming bumper transition was really smooth. I will try to get back to you with more details in time. I couldn't belive the difference. 80 yes 80mm of travel on this, the palmer edition, is all plush, controled performance. This fork is worth three times what I payed for it, and if I had to replace it for that or more, I would in a second.
