Strengths:    Strong and looks very cool. has disc brake mounts

Weaknesses:    a bit heavier than a normal carbon road fork

Bottom Line:   
This is a very solid & nicely built fork, not for a road race purist as it is quite chunky but perfect for a rapid commuter bike or for a cross country racer or even as a rigid fork on your winter MTB (with narrow tyres). The fork is a bit flexy which means it does a fantastic job at absorbing road shake and potholes. The flex doesn't affect the performance as it's very responsive while still beeing smooth

Strengths:    looks cool....thats about it.

Weaknesses:    FLEXY FLEXY FLEXY!!! The flex in it is very noticable while pulling 50 lbs of kids in my Burley trailer.

Bottom Line:   
I have had a lot of Bontrager products in the past and have no problems, but this fork i]has been a BIG downer for me. VERY flexy! This is stock on My '09 Fisher Mendota, I'm glad this wasn't something I purchased thinking it would be an upgrade.

Armadillo VS Satellite Elite

I've been riding Specialized Nimbus Armadillo's and am very satisfied with the flat resistance. But it only comes in 700 X 38. I'd like to try a 32 in the Bontrage Satellite Elite.   Read More »
