Those of you talking about sag - this is a cheapie, it's probably got a lot of preload so it's topped out most of the time and only deflects for big hits.
Tons of preload, no rebound. Like riding a pogo stick. That's a point well taken about mtbs but I am honestly having just as much fun working on it as I am riding it!!
