Strengths: Great adjustability with its Motion Control DH and beginning and ending stroke rebound, you can easily adjust the way you want you fork setup to be. The r2c2 also features drop stop in case you feel you are reaching bottom out to quick too easily or too hard. All these adjustments are hand friendly, no tools needed. Another strength of the r2c2 is the maxile lite DH, which really keeps things stiff for even the toughest downhill course. Better price than other Boxxer models.
Weaknesses: The only weakness I could find in the r2c2 is adjusting the fork for your weight. The fork comes with a standerd red coil for people 160-180 pounds. If you need a larger spring rate or you need to go down for somebody weighing less, then it's not all that easy to change. I had to order a new coil for around $30 and replace and install it in the fork. Unlike the r2c2 the world cup models feature a single air shrader valve too adjust the air rate for your weight, by just hooking up a shock pump and adjusting the air to your desiered psi.
Bottom Line:
A great fork for downhill and can stand up too a lot. Great quality.
