Ok, so i've seen a few people asking how the ronin rides. I've been on it for a few rides, and i'll post my initial thoughts. I have the 110mm version.
Initial thought was, not very plush/smooth. I ran it at about 70 PSI ( im really light). Was getting an inch of sag, and the fork wasnt very supple. The Seperate High and low speed compression is a bit tricky to set up, but my fork was hardly bobbing at all. This feature made me wonder. The fork comes equipped with lockout, and the dual compression adjusters is to eliminate bobbing while getting an active fork on downhills. I would have much rather they left that feature out, and added an adjustable negative air chamber, which would have helped with the lack of small bump sensitivity.
Once you're at high speeds, the fork becomes very smooth, and handles med-bigger (XC big) nicley. The fork is very stiff, built very well, and gives lots of confidence when tackling more aggressive stuff. The fork also has adjustable rebound, which is easy to use, and works well.
I will be posting a review again later on once The fork fully breaks in, and hopefully, once it does, will become more active at slower speeds, and over smaller stuff.
My overall verdict: 3.5 /5
Good, but not mainstream good...yet.
