how do you all (those of you with talas') like them? stiffness? ease of adjustablilty? bottoming resistance? also, how do they take sharp hits? what about performance in really rocky terrain? fedo this will be used as an east coast all mountain fork (i.e riding up mtns then riding down). just give me all the performance info you can about this fork.

I've got one on my enduro and love it. It's stiffer than any other xc fork I've had (psylo, old 30mm stantion z1, manitou black, x-vert) but it's still an xc fork. The coolest part is by far the adjustability in travel. You get 3-5 inches but all at the same spring rate. It's not like cranking down on an eta where the spring gets stiffer. I've got the rlc version but have yet to touch the lockout or compression. I like suspension. Damping is on par with some of the ligher marzocchis. The only other fork I've considered for the purpose is the maverick but we know what those cost. I have no complaints at all with it other than stiffness. (only because I've ridden a maverick.)
