from Christchurch New ZealandDate Reviewed: September 6, 2011
Strengths: Lots of adjustability. StiffWeaknesses: Seal was leaking on very first ride, warranty sorted that out. Loads of stiction in the fork, felt like bushings were too tight, sent back to warranty another 3 times, but the problem never went away. Now the fork is under a year old and the sanctions are beginning to wear! This wont be replaced under warranty as its "normal wear and tear".Bottom Line: poor quality control. poor warranty.

Strengths: Adjustability, Additional Springs Included with Order, Technical Resources Online.Bottom Line: Like everyone else, I was concerned that my fork would not have the correct amount of oil in it. So, on day one, I did a quick service. Like many other reviews I have read, my Boxxer didn’t have the correct amount of grease or fork oil. That kind of bummed me out, but I expected it after reading the reviews.
That being said, after I serviced the fork lowers, I have been 100% happy with the feel of the fork. In my option, the Boxxer rides so much nicer than what I ever got with my 888s. I have approximately 30hrs of riding on the fork and so far, I am very happy with my purchase. In addition, I have been bracketing the adjustments over the last two days and I am very happy with the setups I am able to achieve. I hope this information was helpful. Best of luck.

Strengths: Smoothness, adjustability, the looksWeaknesses: none, but i think it would be better if the stanchions is bigger. 38mm or 40mm would be more appealing.Bottom Line: better than Fox40 in terms of smoothness and adjustability. but in terms of after market product support here in the Philippines, I will say that Fox is number 1. but considering that both forks have the same service centers, I will say that Boxxer is a better fork.

Strengths: Supple, Adjustability, stiff,Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: After hearing of all the trouble people were having with this fork I was a little worried. Once the update rebound and what not kits came out though I was all in. With all the problems going on I decided to rebuild before use. To my surprise it was unnecessary as the correct amount of oil was in these already and they felt great! I did lube up the bushings and the seals to get them nice a wet as I don't think they come lubed enough from the factory. But they had the same amount of lube as any other fork I have owned so they would have been fine... I just like em real wet! Great fork Rides super well, amazing traction but can also be set up to be lively as well.

from Sydney AustraliaDate Reviewed: October 3, 2009
Strengths: Light, Stiff, excellent adjustability and dampening.Weaknesses: Nil oil in lowers and no grease on seals from the factory.
Support from Monza in Australia (Importers) is poor, the warranty replacement parts are supposed to be sent out and fitted by either the LBS or the user (at least thats what I can gather occurred in the US). Instead Monza is forcing users to send the forks back to them for this service and making users pay postage as well, this also leads to more time off the bike waiting for postage etc. They have also been VERY quiet about the warranty parts most people I know who run these forks don't know there are free warranty replacement rebound carts available.Bottom Line: These are very good when they're working. As far as after sales support, I'd look for something different if you're in Australia.
My next shock and fork will most likely not be Rockshox products, I'll more than likely go with BOS, extra $$ but far better levels of quality control and customer service.
If it was simply based on the ride of the Fork they'd get 5 chillis from me, but after the shenanigans from the Australian Distributor of Rockshox I simply can't give a higher review than 3 chillies. Its shabby, you've lost a customer.
