Hey,

is that a Maverick fork up front?

How is it?

It is a Maverick. So far no beefs. Was a bit stiff early on, but is breaking in well. Apparantly I have the latest version which has stiffer dampening in compressed mode. Does really climb like it is locked out, but will give on hits.

Unlocked I have to move center of gravity rearward on downhills. Hitting the brakes can induce lots of brake dive. Really tracks well going down with front brake used.

Weight wise, it is not the 3.5 lbs. The latest ones have the rock shields and the safety clips which take it to 3.7 lbs.
