Sunset Cyclery
Strengths:
Lightweight, Lockout w/Poplock, Bling

Very difficult to dial in. Have also had to send back to DT Swiss for maintenance. Price
Similar Products Used:
Pace 29er, Rebas, White Bros
Bike Setup:
Salsa Mamasita, Reynolds Carbon Topo 29ers, Full XTR
Bottom Line:
Decent fork and incredibly light. If you are weight weenie that would still like a suspension fork this is your fork. I also have had a Pace 29er (which was bought out by DT Swiss) that is suppose to be the same fork but I cannot get them to feel anywhere near the same. The DT is very difficult to get things dialed in and still always feels harsh. The Pace is much smoother feeling and less touchy on the settings. I do think it is very pricey but if you are looking for a light suspension fork with a serious bling factor this is the fork for you. If you are looking for something more practical - stay with a Reba. I have raced it for over a year now and have no regrets.
