People just assume that because it has a fancy name on it's automagically going to be amazing. Fact is, it weighs 1kg more than the current crop of topend downhill forks (over 2 pounds). Add to that equation that the current crop of topend forks work quite well, and do you think that the BOS is going to justify its weight penality? Personally (without even riding the fork) I could quite confidently say I don't think so.
The fork felt smooth and not particularly brilliant otherwise, the shock felt great (but then that's not the fork is it?). So I guess I stand by my opinion, it's hard to argue with the numbers.
The new boxxer I haven't ridden, but given that I'd prefer the old one to the BOS (personally), and given that the new one is lighter, stiffer, and has (at least in theory) some pretty hefty damper improvements to an already solid damper - I think it's safe to say it's going to blow most else out of the water. I'm expecting some first year issues but everything has those... wait and see I guess.
