For 2010, this all-around trail fork is also available with 150mm of adjustable travel and optimized spring curves for each travel setting. Our completely new FIT damper inside the RLC model combined with the ultra-stiff chassis featuring our 15QR thru axle system provides the 32 TALAS with incredible front-end traction and steering precision. The package is topped off with an ergonomically improved, forged aluminum TALAS lever for confidence inspiring travel adjustments on the fly.

Bottom Line:
The front tracks perfect all the time now. I feel like I have more traction and even climbing I am actually using the 150mm mode most of the time and it helps becasue it is so smooth over the bumps. I am really stoked and I highly recommend this fork. Expensive, but amazing.
