This fork is perfect plush for my AM rig. The dual air and adjustable floodgate allow me to completely dial in setup. I use a friction shifter instead of a poploc for adjustable lockout. Mine is a 2006 and still kickin it strong.
its amazing!!! like seriously! its light stiff and amazing for street. You just pump them up and go! 
and they only weigh 2120g not what it says on the description

| Damping | Motion Control |
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.
