wheels are amazing--took me a while to get used to how stiff they are--you don't realize how much aluminum wheels flex until you ride these. Especially out of corners they accelerate when compared to aluminum. Over rocks they are very stiff so I had to get used to the way they react. They eliminate almost all vibration though.
love it! rides more plush on top than any other fork better small bump absorption than any other fork in my opinion, but still very progressive. Nickel plating is almost frictionless
rode the vivid air on a nomad and I didn't think it felt any better than any other air shock I have ridden. I like the feel of a coil shock much better.
