Fits perfectly! Swapped out my defective fork on my 8.5 DS for two reasons, one bike is ridden only on the street (have a Fuel EX8 29er for off-road) and two I got tired of waiting for my replacement fork from Trek. Been over a month and still no fork, told they are on back order. :madman:
On a brief test ride I can tell you the ride is super smooth and the bike is much more nimble. Has to be from the weight difference between the two forks. A longer ride is planned for this afternoon.
Can't wait to see how it performs on a long ride. Cost of the fork was under $200.00 and my LBS didn't charge me any labor for the install.
