wow, no responses. Anyway, if your still in the market, I would go for the Enve 2.0. I just ordered one yesterday along with a new Lynskey frame which wont be ready until February...LOOOONG WAIT! I looked at the Eastons since they are much cheaper, but they seem to get a lot of bad reviews, mainly being flexy, not something I would want bombing downhill at 40mph! This is only from what I have read from other owners, I have not tested one myself. The Enve or Edge gets rave reviews, 1st being stiff and predictable, yet absorbs vibration very nicely, plus it just looks cooler IMO.

With that said, I would go for an Enve 2.0 if you can swing for it. I went with the EC90 SL over an Enve 2.0 simply because I got a very, very good deal on it.

My (admittedly limited) understanding of the differences between those two forks suggests that rider weight might be the deciding factor. If you're over ~160lbs you might be better suited on the ENVE 2.0.

thanks for the answer.
I ordered an Enve 2.0 for my Lynskey.
I don't know the delivery time for my frame.
I live in Belgium, so it goes with the new importer "Bikebasics"
But I ordered an "American R230 frame" and not a European R230 frame.
=> the seatpost for the American frame is 31,6mm and for the European 27,2mm. => I already bought a Lynskey seatpost for my R230...
