Hi. This is the review i posted on CRC,just updated

I have had these forks for 3 months now and I am very impressed. I have prevoiously owned RS tora, Maverick DUC32, FOX Talas 36RC2, Marzocchi 44tst2. These forks are extremely plush straight out of the box with little or no stiction associated with other brands. The DT QR15 is extremely easy to use and the DT ratchet feature allows it to be positioned at any angle. They are very easy to set up and have an o ring for sag setting. They have a lockout of sorts (launch control) which has an automatic release, it takes a while to set the launch control so it doesnt make the fork active until required. It also improves climbing as the launch control effectively isolates rebound so the fork stays solid and down in its travel. The only negative is the rebound only has 90 degrees of adjustment You can knock the rebound setting when activating the laucnh control.I was a little disappointed that they do not come with a shock pump. I bought them at £400 and overall they are excellent ,the negatives are very minor. I would definitely buy another set of forks from DT.
