First impressions are important right? I took this bike to Slaughter Pen with the intent of sticking to beginner friendly XC trails because that&what this bike was designed for, but that plan quickly changed. Spoiler alert...I had a really good time on this bike. We&start up here with the fork. Their is a warning sticker on it saying for "leisure XC riding only" which makes sense on a beginner XC bike. Obviously I didn&heed that warning, but I would advise you to follow such warning stickers. If you&new to riding and never experienced a nicer fork, then this thing is very suitable. I found it reacted more to medium and large hits, or instances when I push into it harder for more pop. Over repeated small bumps at speed it&a bit harsh, but it performed admirably considering the price. Even though it isn&high end, I appreciate it being an air sprung fork to offer tuneability for different rider weights compared to a cheap coil fork. For the beginner rider learning the sport...this fork will serve you...
