Strengths: Very stiff. Comes with alternative springs and blankers for V-mounts. Simple tuning - just get on and ride. Supports 185mm disks Easy to change travel, despite daunting looking instructions - make sure you have theright size of socket though.
Weaknesses: Not light on paper, but this is probably unavoidable for a stiff, reliable 100mm coild fork. Lousy "service" from supplier - this was disapointing because they were hyped up as "only from selected retailers"
Overall: Bike setup - Santa Cruz Heckler, Vanilla R coil shock, Hope Mini's etc. Forks set at 100mm. I wanted tough, quality 100mm coil forks - these wee the only option other than Psylos(more expensive, and very complex) and Z1s (too complex to get travel reduced to 110mm).
These replaced my Pace Proclass-IIs - nice forks, but I couldn't get the damping right. The Fox just went on, with the rebound set in the middle, and let me ride. Probably a good lesson in too much adjustment being a bad thing.
The bike and I were transformed - previously I'd minced about, very unsettled with fork dive. The Fox let go out, have fun, and then think "hmm -that should have scared me". The bike now "loks right", feels right, and feels worth the investment.
All in all a good experience, but shop support was poor. Looks like future servicing will be direct wityh Mojo.
Reliability rating reflects relatively short periuod of ownership (2 months)

Strengths: Enormously high quality - stiff, light and good looking
Weaknesses: Less cred than Race Face - this could be a good thing though.
UK availability is poor.
I had to buy a matching seatpost!
And again, they don't make cranks
Overall: Also bought from Speedgoat. even including shipping it was sheaper that a SYSTem. The CNC quality is great - the fit to the steerer is very precise.
The "engineered" look of the CNC work is very nice, especially in silver.
It is also VERY stiff - you really can feel the difference.
Less fussy than carbon fibre about cutting and fitting ends etc
Weaknesses: Look boring! Less "bike porn" value than carbon bars.
Overall: I bought them because I wanted something better than my Club Roosts. I didn't want the fuss of carbon fibre (looking out for scratches etc). I was pleasantly surprised by just how good they feel - it's hard to describe, but you can feel the extra stiffness, and you don't feel the trail as much. The front end actually feels like a machine doing it's work, rather than some metal steering you about. I've not had any stacks to test reliability yet.
Strengths: MUCH lighter and more versatile than Azonic headlocks for thye same price. Threaded all the way up. Bottom "nut" seals the head tube
Weaknesses: The Space-R's were a very slack fit on the steerer.
Overall: The Space-R's were a very slack fit on the steerer, especially the 2.5mm - much loosers than the brand-X spacers they replaced. The 2.5mm slopped about so much that it was very hard to get it to stack up on the the other rings. In the end I had to sandwich it between the old brand-X's, for an interesting silver-blue-silver striped colour scheme.
In summary - nice headlock, let down by the spacers. Great value if the Space-R's worked better!
