Just a really good fork. So much better than the older ones and is super stiff. Gave me a very same stiffness feel as the 888. And the fork has become much more reliable. Def worth the money. And it looks just awesome in white.
The R2C2 forks are a pretty good fork as far as I can tell, I'm only a newbie in downhill and they are my first dual crowns. To start off with they don't seem to be very soft but this is because I think it has something to do with the seals being quit tight or stiff, but after I changed the coild to my correct weight and went for a few rides they did become softer
Keep it clean and it will serve you well...even when you think it needs seals tear it apart and clean it and It stops leaking,,,I love this fork!

THE LEGEND STARTS HERE.
Featuring long-travel-specific Mission Control DH damping, DropStop bottom-out systems and a 35mm dual-crown chassis, the legendary BoXXer is downright fast. Upgraded damper technologies and a revalved design give an unwaveringly smooth and consistent feel to the reliable Coil and the decadently light, adjustable and fully redesigned Solo Air spring. Striking a perfect balance between weight, stiffness and performance, this fork isn’t for those who live to ride. It’s for those who live to ride faster.

| Weight | 3009 g | |
| Color Options | BoXXer Red, Black, White | |
| Travel | 200 mm |
Travel - refers to the distance the wheel can move in respect to the frame. Typically measured in millimeters, most forks range from 80 to 203 mm of travel
|
| Spring | Coil | |
| Crown | Dual | |
| Body Type | Magnesium | |
| Rebound | External Beginning And Ending-Stroke Rebound |
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 | 7000 Series Straight Wall Aluminum, Low Friction Anodized | |
| Steer Tube | 1.125 | |
| Damping | Mission Control DH, Dual Flow Adjust Rebound |
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 | Maxle | |
| Compression | High and Low-Speed Compression, DropStop Bumper System, Internal Spring Preload |
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.
