Strengths:
light, adjustable
Weaknesses:
little flexy, very bad paint job

Bottom Line:
Even though there are some cons and dislikes about this fork, they dont bother me at all, so I still rate it 5 and 5. It is very adjustable and dependable doesnt loose air. No promblems at all. It is a little flexy, but what can you expect from this size. If you compare it to other forks, it is a dwarf. I would say the paint job done by Rock Shox is really bad. The paint doesnt stick onto the metal. I had too many marks on it after one year. I had no marks on my manitou and marzocchi forks.

Strengths:
So light
Weaknesses:
Not the compression alteration knob on the pop lock busted twice now
Bike Setup:
S Works carbon HT DT Swiss wheels XTR Group set Hope Mono Mini brakes
Bottom Line:
In terms of racing with this fork I've had no probs I weight 60k so I don't think I'd feel any flex that these are supposed to suffer from. I've used this in lanzarote coming down the tabiesque mountain and it handled excellently so this can be used in more than just xc races also long as you've got weight on your side

Bottom Line:
Super light. The same as the world cup without all the carbon to mess up. A great cross-country fork. Sure it's a little flexy but show another fork that weighs 3lbs and doesn't flex and I'll but it. It takes a little to set up but once it's dialed it's sweet. I was a little sketch on the lockout, but after using it I'm in love.

Bottom Line:
Very good fork for XC, light, easy adjust, i like it. Motion control works well,and it's uesfull. Some people say it's too flexy, but i haven't noticed it so far, meybe I'm light, 58KG. SID is really more sensitive than REBA. Although SID looks soft, but it's good enough for me, so I choose SID. If your weight is more than 65KG, choose REBA.
