Got out to test my new fork. It is even better than I had hoped for. Easily the best fork that I have ridden or owned. It is a combination of its ability to keep the front tire solidly on the ground and working with the fact that it does it so without any drama. I have the SID brain on my Epic WC, which is great, but you know it is there and working. Also, I had the Pike on my Stumpy, which is a great fork. But, unless you are constantly getting air, the RS-1 just beats it. The only time it bottomed out was when I caught more air than I normally ever do, because I was carrying more speed. So, no buyers remorse!
