Strengths:
-Good racing forks
-light weight
-smooth travel
-interchangeable partsWeaknesses:
-short lasting seals that never really seem to work well, but keep stiction to a minimum.
-High maintinance, needs regreasing often to keep bushings snug, and to keep the performance worth riding.
-Brake arch bolts need better thread lock.
-Dropouts are not beef on DC's.
-stanchion wall thickness to thin to shave weight for DC's.
-linear spring.
-no seperate compresion/rebound damping adjustment.
-fork oil is difficult to change/tune for rider weight.
-had DC 110 and new DC 118 doesn't seem much better.Bottom Line: Nothing lasts forever. You can make the seals somewhat better with the right fork grease (seal swell). Also you can stack SC 70 springs and cut the plastic spacer to add travel and make a progressive spring, but the damping cartridge will blow. The dropouts bent, but I cannibalized my SC 70 lower legs. The brake arch bent. The stanchions bent. The bushings wore out so it felt like and old Rock Shox Judy even after greasing. These have a short half life but are great equipment for your race bike. They are not good for hammering out epic rides on a few times a week.

Bottom Line:
When I first got these forks I was far from impressed, but after some messing around with the springs and the cartridge I was pretty darned stoked. That was until winter... The seals are crap and let in copious (oh get me) amounts of water and grit, they even seized at one point! Not good. After a long time searching I managed to track down a fork boot for them, after that their performance has become consistantly good like you would expect from a WB fork.
That was up until this weekend. Unfortunately the bushings went to hell and back while practicing the 1st round of our National DH series. My reasonably quiet bike turned into a sloppy steering, fork clanging mess! I was far from happy. However the forks have remained extremely plush.
Oh by the way, the fork boots are the Lizard Skin Inversion Boots. They're green (well mine are and they where the only colour I could find) and one piece, so there is no crappy velcro to come apart while riding. They cost me $28 NZ. Roughly $14-15 US and are well worth it.
Overall, an average fork that gets better with fork boots.

Bottom Line:
Lets just say three words: PLUSH! Strong , fresh-design, huge stanchions, cute anodized black legs, and did i mention it is PLUSH! It looks real sick on my LTS DH, and all the girls just love it to pieces. It is so stiff latterally that is cause it is PLUSH! The tracking is most excelent bro. I makes my old Judy SL feel like a wet noodle. Remember these frases: Tequila tonight, Tommarow we ride-Kranked

Bottom Line:
Had the fork on my LTS and loved it for awhile. Then the wipers started to wear out. No big deal, but i don't think that there is a plausible explanation for not running fork boots. Then i bent the fork legs. White brothers wouldn't warranty and I am pissed. It's a dh specific fork and should be able to take some serious abuse. Don't buy for 2 reasons. Poor warranty support and poor quality. To peppas for good initial quality

Bottom Line:
As an employee of the most reputable shop here in Salt Lake, I get to deal with lots of cool forks. After much consideration and product testing (RS Judy XL, Manitou X-Vert R & Ti, Marzocchi Bomber, and more) I chose to race DH this past summer on a DC-110, modified to get the travel of a 118. I have not regretted my choice. Action is plush, tuneability is excellent, stiffness is supreme and support from WB has been prime. If I could recommend a fork for any adult Sport racers or Junior Experts (such as myself), this fork is the kind.

Bottom Line:
Me and a friend hit the same water bar at Vail. He was actually going slower beacause he had time to break when he saw me wreck. I'm 6'0, 165lbs, he is 5'6, 130lbs. I was riding a boxer, he a White Bros DC110. The boxer had no problem, but my friend snaped the DC100 in half at the lower crown. Both stanchions failed. White Bro's policy is to never warranty shocks. I've know people to wreck worse on thier manitou's and answer kissed thier ass. So, I HIGHLY DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS PRODUCT. Everything will break if you hit it hard enough, but the boxer held, and the DC110 failed.
