Those aren't the only 40s i've ridden

 1500 NZD brand new from the distributor wide open here in NZ. Was a killer deal because they were team spares that were never used, and they were 2500 normally. Still has a 3 year warranty from start of use too, so up until 2013 and if they break I'd get evo Ti's

 wow thats a great deal! ive been looking at buying a set of them forks or some fox 40s fairly soon :-)

 Get the 888s, i've tried boxxers, 40s, and 888s, and 888s absolutely dominate in plushness and sensitivity, especially on small bumps and big hits, they just soak up everything.
