FSR XC Race setup
Bottom Line:
This fork is beautiful, lightest on the market, performs wonderfully, money well spent if you want lightweight for racing, not sure if I would recommend it for uses other than racing, although I love it and have been riding it somewhat aggro and it seems to do very well. Extremely happy with it

Bottom Line:
For its intended purpose, the Aeris is probably the best XC racing fork on the market. Its lightweight and Spul valve damping makes it a great fork if you enjoy climbing fast. I've had mine for over half a year now, and no issues have come up.

Strengths:
Super light( 1250 gm w/7"steerer). SPUL valve stable platform really works,very little flex for a fork this light.
Weaknesses:
For XC and XC race, this is THE fork. Dirt jumpers and DH pilots look elsewhere.

Bottom Line:
The Ultimate race fork,The weight and the SPUL valves "NO BOB" translates into SPEED. It opens up and soaks up the bumps when you need it. If [Ti] [Sc] and [Mg] get you excited, this fork is a metalurical work of art.
