very lightweight, plenty stiff, gorgeous looking, best stable-platform fork on the market.
Cons:
maybe the price? lack of adjustability?

I finally found the perfect XC fork. The SPUL system is very simple but works amazingly well. No bobbing with this fork at all but it soaks up all the rough stuff when required. Also, the Aeris has scandium sanctions that are only slightly thicker than that of a SID yet it feels much stiffer. This is something important to me at 195 lb. In my opinion, the Aeris puts the other forks to shame and the sculpted Ti crown is just pure bling!

Pros:
Super light, 1250 grams w/7"steerer
Perfect race fork, Slightly less flex than my SID Race.
The SPUL valve (stable platform) really works.
Minimalist adjustment so 'set up' doesn't become a hobby
Soaks up the bumps and steers true.
I love it.
Cons:
Not Cheap.
XC and XC race only
Time Used:
Less Than A Month

If [Ti] [Sc] and [Mg] get you excited, this fork is a metalurical work of art.
I've owned a SID Race and a Marathon S and I really prefer this one. It's not an "all Mountain" kind of fork but if FAST and LIGHT are your priorities, then this fork is THE ONE!
