This fork is just what I have been looking for. It comes in at the same weight as the Fox 40RC2 but has the buttery smooth air feeling that the Boxxer WC offers for much less $$$. Great fork for any DH/FR application, especially if you are trying to stretch those hard earned dollars.
Favorite fork I have ridden. Plush but stiff at the same time. Handles huge jumps and drops with ease. It feels way more solid then some lighter forks. I would say it is defiantly worth the extra weight. It is not even that heavy it weighs around the same as the fox dual crown. Overall great fork!
i got these forks for christmas and they are very light for 888. thy are very plush and easer to set up than i thoght they would be. i havent had the chance to properly use them because of the snow and ice but cant wait 2 get them on a decent downhill track.
Pros: Super plush, responsive, stiff, reliable, easy to adjust
Cons: Complicated cartridge, "hex lock sistem", ATA isn't needed (never used it) maybe for some recreational enduro race
Overall: Great fork!

This fork is super plush and durable. It is the best fork for racers on a tight budget, as it requires very little maintenance but preforms like a Fox 40 or a Boxxer WC.
The adjustments are infinite! Really plush and perfect for freeriding. Con, ummmmm, ill get back when i find one

Rebound - is how quick your fork returns to a fully extended position after being compressed. Almost all after-market forks feature external rebound adjustment for easy fine tuning.

| Stanchion material | 38mm Nickel Coated Alloy Tapered Stanchions | |
| Steer Tube | 1.125 | |
| Damping | Rc3 |
Damping - The process of absorbing the energy of impacts transmitted through the forks or rear shock during the compression stroke, and absorbing the energy of the spring during the rebound stroke.
|
| DropOut Options | 20mm | |
| Compression | Hi-Lo Auto Compression Adj, Volume Adj Ata + Par 40mm Air Travel Adj, Pos. And Neg. Air, Progressive Air |
Compression - This is the damping circuit that absorbs the compression energy force on the damper. Compression damping is used to adjust how quickly a fork or rear shock compresses when hitting a bump, and is adjustable on some products. When compression damping is too soft, this condition allows most of the available travel to be used without attaining control of the wheel. When it's adjusted too firmly, the wheel will jump or "dance" about when hitting small bumps, again failing to gain control of the wheel.
