If it wasn't for the QR drop outs they'd be ideal for my new 4X / DJ bike.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

30mm XC fork, no worse than any other of that ilk, not on a par with the latest 32mm SID, but if it's what you want that is a great price.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

As said, a good choice for xc or lighter riders. I use the MRD Minute - however, it does spike as the review says due to the stock shim configuration for average/lighter weight riders, but this is (fairly) easily changed:

Most people probably don't want to fiddle with it, but if you are of that ilk you can get the fork to perform very well.0
