ej... no need for the reviews on your newly acquired fork, i personaly can atests that it will serves your very crucial ride type purpose as a "Hardcore Downhill/FR and Street Style" rider... mythbuster... that is the new Launch fork, what EJ is utilizing now is an older type w/o the Hydraulic Adjust-Rebound...we'll wait for your further actual test on this, good luck and ride safe c",?

Rst forks can't even do a smooth xc riding hehehe. Go for Sr suntour instead brad. I have used 2 Rst forks. I must admit Rst forks are really heavy, stickers looks good and porma but the performance of rst forks are not that good brad. I would not recommend rst forks to my friends also. Yes it is light on your pocket but the performance is a two thumbs down brad. Now I shift to SR Suntour. I can tell the difference suntour is way better than rst. Save your money. Payo lang brad, no harsh comment.

yah, i'd agree to sir mckouleith!(pend na lang po siguro sa gumagamit if it fits him/her or not...) the reason i'd bike is to exercise and burn my fats! not to abuse the fork in order to satisfy our needs! pwera nlangano "contest to whom the first to broke your fork/money investment."hehehehehe anyway i got the fork in a cheap deal, for atleast i'm not riding a bike to abuse it, but to explore and trail for weekend ride.... peace! terrible-

the rst launch t8: for my part, the fork has no problem with me at all, just wondring that some say the fork didn't suited their riding style...i didn't feel the 2kg of t8 rst, while biking on a semi- trail/urban riding last sunday! today, i rode all the way to speedy bagal in anonas coming from filinvest 2, commonwealth ave., just an urban riding, and i'm glad that a cheap fork with a 2kg heavy, didn't frustrate my riding, so highly recommended for newbie/novice and low budget fork for mtb set-up....... just my personal expereince with rst launch t8---"get ready to launch pipol"hihihi....
