Strengths: Has some flex giving a 'suspension like' feel on occasions. For fast XC riding I can't fault them. Great for geting the power down on hard surfaces.
Weaknesses: sometimes wish I had a 80X on surfaces with small bumps
Overall: Great for the price, shed pounds on the bike. If you run mainly XC then these are the ones for you. If you have loads of money and weight is not an issue then get a lock out fork.
Strengths: Sharp steering, weight, shock absorbing characteristics, the CF look!
Weaknesses: They beat you up a bit if you've ridden with suspension for as long as I have!
Overall: I put these forks on my Inbred and suddenly the handling went fron great to awesome and my confidence on a bike improved hugely too.
They're not for everyone but aside from when the going gets really hard, rooty and rocky in an enduro race, I'd choose them over suspension every time.
