Took the boxxers for their maiden journey at You Yangs yesterday and am very impressed. After riding with forks that seized up with stiction after 2 runs itll take a little while to get used to. Can't wait for Thredbo!

Do you like the DNM's? I always had a soft-spot for those forks. They are quite well made, and they have the right ideas going. Maybe new seals and a semi-bath lube system would be a step in the right direction for DNM as a company though. I didn't find mine too heavy, but they are notably heavier than some other forks, espescially as things like 06 worldcup air are making the margin that much larger. All in all, nice bike mate.

Yeah they are a very sturdy and confidence inspiring fork, they just lack a bit of small bump performance and require regular maintenance to keep them smooth. They definitely dont feel as if theyre going to break anytime soon though!

They're not really heavy. Just enough to make it annoying for everyday riding.Great for dh though.

They don't top out if you have them set up right. Anyway my DNM days are over.
