Description:At just over 4 pounds, it is the lightest coil sprung, 5.5 inch fork on the market. And, thanks to that coil spring and our ultra-refined and patented (RLC) open bath damping system, it is also one of the plushest forks money can buy. There comes a time when you just want to throw marketing jargon out the window and ride. That’s when the vanilla - good old, straight steering, true tracking, velvet smooth vanilla – shines like a diamond.

Bottom Line:
First ride is all I need to review this. I put it on because I could not get full travel out of my Fox 32 R 130mm. What a difference! At least 1/2 a gear faster on uphill. Didn't feel anything less than 3 inches. More stable and faster on downhill and corners. No more air shocks for me.
