go for it bro! actually that's what i'm planning to buy for my rig previously but need to settle for a 100mm fork and lighter one... it has great reviews on mtbr, especially it's allready a good aggressive XC to AM fork. u-turn adjust is definitely a plus factor, get it na bro ! upgrade season again hehe ;D

Hmm, looks like someone's gonna be disposing a Nixon. Gimme, gimme! Ehehehe! ;D
I've been drooling on the '07 RS Totem. Yum-yum! Does anybody have an idea if it also comes with the regular steer tubes? The ones I see on the Net so far have the 1.5's. Anyways, here's my list of AM forks that I consider for my rig.
1. Rock Shox Totem Solo Air 180mm 2. Marzocchi All Mountain 1 170mm 3. Manitou Travis Single Intrinsic 160mm
