Strengths:    Nice and plush, nice and new.

Weaknesses:    A little delicate

Bottom Line:   
Well, as much as I like(d) the fork, I rode it for 4 months (20 rides?) and it appears I've twisted the lowers.

I ride the Shore, so different terrain than your average World Cup DH course. I fall off like everybody does. But I've taken WAY worse bails than I have in the last 4 months on my old fork. The Boxxer bent with minimal "abuse".

A fine fork, yes. But a little delicate? Yes.

I'm no behemoth either. I'm 5'9" and 160.

Maybe a freak accident, but I don't have much confidence that it's going to hold up the way I'd like it to.

Who should buy this fork? Either people who never crash, or those who can afford to replace the lowers on a semi-regular basis.

Who shouldn't but this fork? People who crash more than average and can't afford to repair their bikes.
