I'll second that, too. You won't find another fork that's stiffer, lighter, and not prone to stiction......than Cannondale's Headshok system. In fact- I prefer it OVER the Lefty, myself. Dollar-for-dollar......the Headshok is race-proven technology, with a ton of world-class wins. Yeah, you can pay close to a grand for something lighter- but the steering precision of the Headshok, is legendary.
