a great fork for ss, freeride just put them on the bike and ride very little tuning required wats the point of buying the rc2 do you need all the extra settings have these on my ironhorse 6 point and use it for ss, freeride and DH great fork and can take a beaten
Awesome forks, super light super smooth 
The best fork ive ever owned, much beeter than any Marzocchi, manitou, rock shox fork! just the best for freeride just change the spring weights if you need to, really easy to use and adjust via the comp and rebound adjusters at the top of the forks. love them,

An absolutely unflappable and buttery smooth fork. Saved my bacon more than a couple of times. Priceier than the competion but that's because its worth it. Wouldn't have anything else. Strong and lightweight construction and one of the most rliable forks in class and they look good too!
This fork has been very good. I have used it for pretty much everything: singletrack, all mountain, large jumps and rough downhill. It has handled everything well and the feel has improved with time. Now my setup is as I want it, I happily fly down most downhill tracks with it and it always keeps my front wheel on line. When landing drops you need to be smooth as it doesn't handle them too well, however anything with a good landing it does a very good job. It certainly has inspired confidence in me.
Got the 2012 Kashima coat RC2, and man I love it. Smooth as butter. Took a while for everything to loosen up, and had to put a different spring in, but once everything came together, it was nothing but plush all the way around.
This is the best fox racing fork to have if u do alot of mountain biking. it has upto drop out options at 20mm and i would buy it because of it's colour too because it goes with my bike.
it is just amazing lowered to 100mm for dirt jumping. its light,its stiff and it looks "the dogs".... what more could you want?
This fork rocks! Good weight, easy adjustment, reliable, will not let you down in sticky situations. It can save your behind when the going gets tough..
some of the smoothest forks there are, got them on my scott, had them stripped and rebuilt with a lil tune, and they are super plush, track so well
The best fork i've ever seen and used. this fork is good in downhill, freeride, mountainbike, the weight is really light.

| Weight | 2322.39g | |
| Color Options | Black. | |
| Travel | 160.02mm |
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 | Single | |
| Body Type | unknown | |
| Rebound | coil spring preload, 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 | unknown | |
| Steer Tube | 1.125 | |
| Damping | FIT |
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 | 20mm | |
| Compression | unknown |
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.
