.
rockshox pikes the best forks ive ever rid they ar smooth and mint they are lock abull and ajustabul gd for freeride and dh can go from 95 to 140 mill in the turn of a coil 
Very good absorption of small and large impacts, adjustability is useful to fine tune the fork to your preferences. Would reccomend to all
Can't recommend Pikes enough. Great mid travel, adjustable forks. Stiff 20mm axle. Got them on 2 of my bikes and love them to bits.

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 | Low speed compression to 'Lock' with internal Floodgate |
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.

you can work this thing hard and it will hold up to what ever you put it to. The U-Turn is also super helpful for when you want to do some trial riding, and you can slam it back down so you can get back to park and dirt jumps. great all around fork, its all you need.
