Adjustments on Motion Control lowspeed compression is pretty much none, none, none, a little bit, a bit more, lock out. Skinny stanchions, flexy compared to larger forks, comes aftermarket with low-rise crown. See bottom line.
A lot of the gripes I had with the fork (32mm stanchions,crown choices, dampening system) are addressed with the new 2010 Boxxers. This is a great choice, performance and value-wise for someone who wants to try giving DH racing or shuttling a try. The fork performs as needed, and was not a fussy product to maintain. Very easy layout to work on, spring swap, cleaning, etc. Color scheme is decent, simple, and elegant. Nothing to flashy about the fork. Very utilitarian.
Overall, great product for an excellence price.

203 Travis triple Ti,Travis 180 SC, Lyrick, Z150 et al
Bike Setup:
Socom, Boxxer, Ti spring Revox, 729's w CK and Fun bolts, Mich 16 DH
Bottom Line:
I thought my Travis was plenty good enuff for me, as I don't really pin it riding DH. But the first ride on the Boxxer fork made me smile. "Like Butta" was coined for this fork. Impacts disappear no matter how rapidly the terrain comes at you nor how big the rocks are, this thing just floats across it all. Truly happy with this purchase. Yeah, I guess the Boxxer IS as good as all the reviewers claim.
