^ Yeah, it is and it isn't. At first I struggled with the intricacies too until I slowly learned more about shocks and understood the fundamental basics - then it all makes sense when you know why it's there and what it's for.

The beaut about all those features that chelboed mentioned is that Rockshox haven't gone off in all sorts of tangents, developing endless gimmicks. Those features have been in RS forks for about a decade now - tried and true and perfected. There's a lot of good people in SRAM with their heads screwed on properly... and it shows in their stuff...
