I'm going to put that down to us being on different continents then, I've come off twice having lost my front tyre in the wet when I really shouldn't have. (Not ridden prowler's in the wet before recently, only had them on since the summer).

puncture, just so you know

gustofwind, you need to try some other tyres mate. The Prowler MX is not a wet tyre, by any stretch of the imagination, my left shoulder and elbow know this from personal experience.

I don't know man... most air forks that I've ridden were way more linear than coils, whether it was MZ 66sl vs rc2x, Lyrik Uturn vs solo air or Boxx WC versus Boxx team. I know that dampers are a bit different story because of their compressino circuits, but still air dampers are damn more linear than coil sprung ones. When I squeeze the air in syringe it gets harder only at the bottom, this is all i know from physics Wink peace

Furthermore I see no point in having a single crown fork being only a 100g lighter than doublecrown boxxer team or Fox 40, and acutaly almost 300g heavier than Boxxer WC. What's the point? X-Up against DC stiffness and strength?

Well, according to my no that limited knowledge and personal feel of air forks vs coil forks it is air that is more linear than coil. Air progresses only at the very end of travel increasing the resistance against dive only slightly through the middle stroke, while coil consequently inrecases the resistance against bottoming force with every single mm of travel. Regarding the X in the 66 RC2x it is not completely a fast speed compression as in FOX (which I believe are the only ones really having really separated HS LS compression damping)it is just the end stroke (bottom out) damping. I personaly prefer 66SL as rc2x is way to heavy for that minimal advantage of having HS compression.
