In my very limited time riding a friends bike with an RS-1, I would say hands down a Pike, SID or Revelation would be a much better choice. I found the RS-1 to have very vague steering... it felt like a wet noodle- lots of torsional flex. Other downsides- It cost more, is less tunable and requires a proprietary hub.
Thanks!
it is between the SID and RS-1. The downsides you mentioned in the second sentence are things I have been reading; however, most folks think it is stiff. Are you comparing it to an enduring fork or XC fork?
