Strengths:

Lockout stopped working after 10 rides...I have 50 rides on this fork. Yes, it's the 2009 model.

Bike Setup:
Intense 6.6...SLX, CCDB, XTR Mavic UST
Bottom Line:
Great fork with a lockout that is useless. This fork does have great adjustability but the lockout not functioning as designed makes me rate this fork very low.

Strengths:
Tons of adjustments to suit virtually any need the terrain calls for. Fork feels plush without feeling springy and can take some pretty big hits and keep the small bump compliance you want for comfort.
Weaknesses:
Haven't found any yet.

Bike Setup:
08 Felt Redemption 3 all stock except for this fork.
Bottom Line:
Priced lower than similar forks with similar features, performs extremely well and feels very nimble. Get this fork if you like to do it all, from blazing down the trails to taking those larger drops this fork gives you the flexibility to set your bike up for whatever your flavor of the day calls for.

Evans Cycles
Strengths:
Felt plusher and lighter than my 08 55rs . Plenty of toys to play with such as compression dampening and travel adjust
Weaknesses:
Can you believe this thing started having a fault with its TST2 controls fresh out of the box and just before I left my LBS ?
Bought this supposedly sweet fork for my Scott Ransom 40 from my LBS and just before I was about to thrash it at the local woodland, the manager of the LBS noticed that the TST2 controls were not working making the fork unable to lockout or adjust rebound!
This means sending it back to windwave and waiting for a new cartridge leaving me bikeless for the forseable month
Talk about bad QC. I hope this fork ain't just a repackage of last years troublesome ATA2 model . Was hoping this fork will give me hours of enjoyable riding like my original 55rs but having it fail before it left the LBS is a real negative .
Maybe I'll save up and get a Mag Wotan next time
