new pro rider roann calatin used a kowa fork b4... heheheehe i think its dor sale atm....
heheheehe.... variable travel adjustability....... easy to maintain...... hehehehe
two thumbs up for kowa forks.......
i'm a boxxer person for DH applications but for FR and AM hmmm..... id go for the kowa.... and these japs know what theyre doing when it comes to suspension forks....
...... just imagine they gave birth to godzilla and internationalized sushi!
if they can catch up a bit more with the big fork manufacturers we could hav a wider selection of forks up on the market aside from... rockshox,manitou and marzocchi.....aint that just a brighter day for all mtbikers huh.... hehehehe

saw one at kings in quiapo but i was more interested in the 160ss kowa fork. manual says its 2.1 kgs but when i weighed it, it hit 2.45 kgs. but its a light fork for something that has 35mm stanchions, 160mm travel, travel adjust, and thru axle. the stanchions has an awkward color though. dark brown. if i had the money, i'd buy it in a heartbeat. ;D

i saw a KOWA fork in one 43biker's DH/DJ rig last sunday at UP shake store area. the guy even showed us what the KOWA fork can do, not much into technical side of things but seeing the fork's demonstrated flushness, adjustments, weight and rigid appearance features, i was made to believe it's a good fork, dragunov (da bike pimp) was there and says it's a bang for buck fork. btw did i say the fork cost P3x,xxx.00 KOWA are japan-made forks, right?.......calling the attention of ussprinceton
