Strengths: Right mix of features to suit my needs,thru axle, 120mm travel, lightweight, adjustable, 26" wheel, great damping, gloss black matches frame.Weaknesses: Not sure what makes it ti other than marketing dept name? Lockout is cool but I never use it. Some flex under braking but is on par with competition. 20mm axle makes for less selection on light front hubs. No real instructions on setup included ie; rebound and compression starting settings etc...Bottom Line: I really like this fork. It is much more supple over small bumps than the Fox that I have ridden on over the last seven years. The fork was easy to set up right out of the box and broke in within a couple hundred miles. The thru axle makes the front end much more stiff and steering more precise. The fork does an amazing job of absorbing small bumps and roots while still offering good bottoming resistance all without much bob while peddling. I'm very happy with this fork and would recommend it to anyone wanting a good cross country fork.

Strengths: Light weight, adjustable, REMOTE LOCKOUT, Black Box DamperWeaknesses: flexing of the lowers side to side under brakingBottom Line: I got this for a great price from the shop I work at, as received the lowers were slightly bent(that common rock shox issue) thus making my wheel was biased to the brake side and would rub near the arch under some heavy braking and pitched cornering. I sent the fork in for a warranty replacement and 10 days later received back my fork with XX replacement lowers at NO monetary cost to me.
The XX lowers have wider tire clearance, the lowers still have some flex under braking, but no longer rub. I use this fork for some pretty technical single track and also just started to race XC. It's nice b/c I can adjust the duel air pressures to handle both riding styles very easily.
Overall I do have confidence in this fork and will really throw anything at it (big drops aside) with no fear of it braking on me. This Model is a bit costly through retail and a Reba RLT Ti may be a better value.
Duration Product Used: 6 months
Bike Setup: 2010 Specialized P1 AM, SID RLT Ti w/ XX lowers, Elixir CR Brakes 185F 160R, X.9 9 speed shifters + Deraileurs, stylo OCT cranks, stylo WC bars and stem, Macvis 717d rims laced up to X.9 hubs.
