Title: Fork Poll: O3" Boxxer Race vs 03' Jr.T
Post by: RED5 on March 02, 2003, 06:46:22 pm

What are your thoughts. Plusses/Minuses. I'm leaning toward the Boxxer, only because you can't run a tire larger than a 2.5 in the JRT >:( and I'm kinda partial to 2.7-2.8 tires :P. Really want to give the Michelin 2.8 a go. Seems like it's the [smiley=diaper.gif] for hella nasty terrain. Anyhow, what do you guys feel??

get a boXXer cuz u WANT the michelin...

if u can swing it the Manitou Slider DC fork is a outstanding choice aswell...

if yuor gunna go boXXer, the Team is worth teh extra cash...

but the Race is more then acceptable if a low price point is most important...

hope that helps....

the Jr-T is a decent enuf fork, but its lack of real tire clearance makes it a no-option for me....also u cant move the lower crown on teh legs anymore. its cyro-fit this year... :o

which means the fork is not as adjustable for headstack height as it used to be....

Out of those, I'd lean towards Boxxer as well. I've heard some bad things about Jr. T damping on bigger impacts as well (ask Jm on the DH/Freeride board at MTBR).
