Strengths: Out of the box new this is a good fork . The lock out is great.Weaknesses: Price an quality . I rode this fork for season about 5000 miles pulled the maintenance, The issue is after a while this design will leak air between the negative and positive chambers an it just locks up . I have replaced the seals and it works for a while but it always seems to leak and lock up after a few rides.
Bottom Line: For the Money go with a Fox Fork much better quality. This will be my last Rock Shox they just dont last more than one season.

Strengths: LockoutWeaknesses: When the lockout isn't onBottom Line: Without the lockout on, it's way too supple. I can bottom it out by just pressing down on the handlebars and holding the front brake. I have it above the recommended PSI for my weight, too. When the lockout is on, it's just about right. When it is locked out, it climbs and tracks well, and doesn't get too squirmy. It should have:
1. Full lockout (with blowoff)
2. More control over damping
3. More pressure and resistance, period.
I'm putting a Fox Talas 29 with Terralogic on my next build (a Santa Cruz Tallboy). Meh.

Strengths: XX tackles it all. Very smooth. Great on rock gardens. Remote hydro lockout is great for transitioning to climbs. Lots of flexibility on rebound settings.Weaknesses: None yetBottom Line: Worth every penny, old suspension was just not up to the beating and jumps blew the lockout cartridge. This one asks "Is this all you got?"

Strengths: Lightweight, thru-axle, SO so plush, Xloc is quick and niceWeaknesses: I'm in the vast minority that prefer a hex-locked 20mm axle over the Maxle.Bottom Line: Great great XC/trail fork. Like previous late-model Rebas, the fork can really do anything from racing to epic to all-mountain styles. I'm incredibly rough on my components and not only has the functionality of this fork held up, but the cosmetics as well. The XLoc system is nice and incredibly easy to use on the trail - almost zero thought required, plus you barely have to move your hand. It is incredibly plush and can be adjusted in many ways to suit your riding needs/wants. MUCH easier to work on than newer Fox forks, and IMO, just as nice to ride on.
As a word of advise -if you ever flip the bike upside down for any length of time, the hydraulic fluid gets a little screwing in the lockout. When it gets flipped upright, press the trigger in and out 3 or 4 times and it'll be good to go. I got this fork on a great trade, but it's very expensive otherwise. I'm not sure the XX is worth the financial upgrade over the Team edition unless you intend to incorporate all XX components into your gearing and/or really want a quick trigger lockout. Great great fork otherwise, and if you have deep pockets, I can't think of a better one to recommend.

Strengths: Being an avid XC racer Im always looking for a great functional piece of equipment thats light, works great and looks good as well. This fork is amazing. its the best fork Ive ever rode. The hydro lock out feature works great, Its nice to have lock out right on the fly. Ive had other remote lock out systems but this one by far is the cleanest/smoothest out of them all. when your hammering up a climb all you have to do is push the button. you dont have to remove your hands at all. As far as handling and stiffness goes. You can really "point and shoot " with this fork. the 32mm stantions are nice and stiff. all around this fork handles great, its smooth and it looks great. love the white.Weaknesses: I really dont have any bad things to say about this fork. I highly recomend this fork.Bottom Line: LOVE IT !!!
