I wouldn't. The Shiver is a better fork. More travel, inverted design means it will be more responsive and feel more "plush" than a Super T. If you compare retail pricing, your Shiver is worth considerably more than a Super T.

I find the higher oil volume Marz. forks (eg. Shiver, Monster) have a more supple, active feel than the others (which still feel great).

I guess its personal choice. The weight savings will be minimal. Keep your fork and hit the gym!

i have been racing the q cup all year on a super t on a bb7. i think it's actually a bit light for racing. itwill not be as plush as a higher volume fork like a monster et al.

next year is going to be either the new 888, a shiver, or a dorado, depending on the sponsorship situation.

i agree with mulletron. people used to tell me they couldn't loft the front of their bb7's. i find it easy to do with a bit of technique. so hit the gym.

keep your Shiver...

your getting ripped off....

the Super-T is a fine fork, but its not even in the same play feild as a ShiverDc.... not even for 500$...

lol really funny with your gym, i'm able to lift my front end it's not a problem for me, i do manual and wheelie so lift the front is really easy, i think to change because when you cant afford 2 bikes, a bike with a shiver for skate park is not the best but your right, the shiver is much better so the super t will go where i think. thank you for the help :thepimp:

The shiver is superior to the super-t. For anyone who thinks a shiver is heavy, I am 135 pounds and I throw that fork around like its no problem, its just a matter of knowing how to use its weight to your advantage.
