Has anyone ever ridden a DNM fork?

Just stumbled across this.

Appears to be one of the first SC, 7" forks.....

But I am more interested in the DC model...

www.dnmautopart.com is the main site.

Looks kinda hokey...

If they were really great, I think we would have heard mroe about them...
I've never ridden one, but I doubt it will match a Marzocchi or Manitou.

u get what u pay for...

i've heard horror stories about those forks ceazing up in their travel....

i belevie those forks are worse then a Stratos... adn thats saying something...

i suggest u steer clear...

not to mention that crown looks esp. pinner for a 7" SC fork....:eek:

the SC fork is only a 120mm fork,not 170mm hehe.

the usd180 isn't a great fork,i knew a guy who ran one for a year.it worked quite well for him,but he found the adjustments to be too sensitive and easy to be thrown off.ie,1/4 turn of rebound would be a HUGE difference in the ride feel.
overall,the fork took alot of abuse from him,and he was pleased untill he got a marzocchi super which,needless to say, eventually snapped in half after 2 months of riding.
great quality marzocchi has,eh.;)

I think that the SC fork there is only 5".

They said exact specs of the DC fork only SC. Figured that refered to travel as well. Oh well.

I wasn't thinking of running one, I was just wondering if anyone had heard of them. They seem to have some big offerings from a small company. I'd never buy one of those forks.

My friend had one of their reat shocks on his bike a while ago. It absolutly sucked.

Not a small company...

a HUGE company that makes OE parts for tons of fields.

A company the specializes in the extreme low end...Youll find their rear shocks on the standard $800 Big Hit, Mongooses, CCMs, etc.

The forks are on the higher end of the low end bikes. The things like LandRider, some company out of Kent that makes really weird DH bikes you special order through Costco, etc.

I own a DNM VTS90, and a ST8RC rear shock.

Their rear shock is perfect, until it blows.

The fork i'm very happy with, it's not plush and not very sensitive to bumps, but it's great for drops, and it's pretty stiff, stiffer than a jrt, and also triple super duper reliable, i've had mine for 3 years, absolutely no problem, only 1 oil change, never needed a seal change, but i'm not too hard on it, maximum of maybe 5ft drops.
