Well since i have only used a couple welders in my life I'm going to review something out from my hobby, Biking.
Product: 2010 fox 40 rc3
Price: $1600
Ups: DH machine. This fork will eat up anything you throw at it. 8.5 inches of consistent travel take the big hits and keep your tires on the ground
Downs: Although have consistent stiffness and pressure throughout the the whole 8 inches keeps your traction it ups your chances of a bottom out making it a unreliable free ride fork. High Performance means means high maintenance. Prepare for constant blown seals and oil changes every 8-15 hours of riding. If you cant do this on your own your local mechanic will be taking all your money.
Overall: If your working your way up the DH circuit and you need a fork to keep up the 40 is the way to go. If not, Dint waste your money
Product: Marzochii 888 rc2 evo worldcup
Ups: Virtually maintenance free, Solid DH fork and the best dualcrown free ride fork on the market. Very versatile
Downs: Heavy, Bad high speed traction, not compatible with most direct mount stems
Overall: Awesome all around fork. last inch and a half is stiff to reduce chances of a bottom out making it the best free ride fork out there but still has the plush lower end for DH. If your looking to dominate the DH circuit then this is not your fork but if you an average Joe rider looking for the best do it all fork then the 888 is your best bet.
Product: RockShox Boxxer world cup
Ups: Super light, Most accomplished fork in the world cup series, Consistent stiffness for DH domination, Sleek cool design
Downs: High chance of bottom out on drops, vulnerable rebound control (one big bottom out and your in for a pricey repair)
Overall: Every where you look in the DH scene there are boxxers. They are one of the best downhill forks because they are perform at their peak in any terrain at any speed. These forks will lead you strait to the podium.... as long as there are no big drops.
All of these forks cost the same and are built for the same purpose so you can not review one without comparing it to the other. I hope this review will help you decide where to spend your life savings because that's about how much it will cost you.
