Anyone had a chance to ride Ohlins rxf 29er fork yet?

Feedback if you will as they might be on my next buy item to replace the excellent Bos Dizzy forks.

I'm looking at slackening out the head angle by fittjng rxf 120mm and using a stouter chassis.

Just wondering if anyone has put any miles in on one and can compare to Bos if you can in terms of performance quality.

    I've seen a few reviews which put me right off it.
    A little flexy, damping is nothing special for the price and can't be tuned by anyone other than Ohlins.
    It's not offering anything you can't get from a Pike or 36

    Oh shite, was expecting the dampening to be one of the best if not better than even the Bos kit.

    Can you link me to a review as having difficulty locating them.

    I youtubed to see if there were even a review on tgere but nowt!

    The Pinkbike review was kind of their usual positivity but read it thoroughly and the bad points are there.
    I think the enduro magazine one wasn't to positive.
