Strengths:    Plush, butter smooth, good dampening, oil bath, quality parts, ITS RISSE, COME ON!!!

Weaknesses:    It does bottom out on big hits, but i only have the 6" model. requires maintenance like most any DH fork.

Bottom Line:   
This fork will eat up anything in its path. It is butter smooth, plush, and progressive. excellent at high speeds due to the incredible responsiveness. Risse's customer service is excellent! i needed a hayes brake adapter for my fork and 2 days later, it arrived. 2 thumbs up risse!!!
