For 2010, we have turned inward, with a completely new design of the FIT RLC dampers. The FIT damper uses a unique bladder design, which provides the lowest possible friction for a sealed damper, reduces fluid aeration for enhanced suspension consistency, and reduces unsprung weight for faster wheel response and increased steering precision. From World Cup XC to week-long stage races and everywhere in between, the F-Series forks are the most versatile and desirable cross country forks available.

This fork is awesome, it's incredibly plush, smooth and rides great. Unbelievable stiff and responsive for such lightweight. Amazingly easy to set up. these forks give so much confidence The faster you push this fork the smoother it is. It begs to be ridden hard. The best fork I have ever owned hands down. It's worth every penny.
