Strengths: Stiff, lite, quality, reliable, plush, simple, sexy lookingWeaknesses: If I had to nit-pik, I'd say small bump sensitivity, but it gets alot better with time.Bottom Line: If you want a set up and forget simple fork then go for it. I had emough of fancy forks that always broke! Price is a little steep, but if you search Ebay you should find a new one for a good price. (FYI)I weight about 155lbs with gear and I'm using the lightest spring that came with the fork.
Favorite Trail: The one I haven't rode yet.

Strengths: Stiff, Light, Well Damped, Plush, Reliable, SimpleWeaknesses: Lack of AdjustmentBottom Line: I Bought this fork to replace a 32 talas rlc, which i found a bit too flexy for the type of riding i do out here. I bought the R instead of the RC2 because i dont trust the fit damper, Ive seen two blow up. running the fork at the lower end of the recommended pressure range the fork is plush as a couch from the 80's, i hit bottom when i need to, but never too early. My suggestion to the above reviewer is that it is being run too stiff. With respect to the lack of adjustment that is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand i miss being able to adjust things on the fly. On the other hand, unlike a RS or a zocchi, when it sais it only has R, that means only R is externally adjustable. The compression is adjustable by shifting internal wafers, but this is only advisable if you have a lot of time for careful trial and error, or know a factory tech. Rather than effing with the internals i just took out a bit of the 7.5wt oil and replaced it with 10wt. This made the rebound adjustment have significantly more effect, im running it with one click. My final opinion on this fork is that it is so far reliable, it is stiff, it is light, and it makes the trail disappear.

Strengths: Looks good, stiff, fairly light. Absorbs large hits nice.Weaknesses: Pretty bad small bump sensitivity. Might be due to not broken in yet but I definitely get rattled around more than I'd like at medium speeds on small bumps. Doesn't feel that plush.Bottom Line: Decent Fork, Not very plush and doesn't have the greatest small bump sensitivity. Good enough if it comes stock on your bike but I wouldn't shell out the cash if buying new. The air forks feel a lot more plush.
