The weight I can easily justify, like X-Fusion they could certainly use a bit of a graphic update to help build the identity of their top-end products. If in doubt black-on-black graphics always look snazzy!
It's interesting riding the Durolux vs. the X-Fusion Trace 36 I'm on right now. The way I have the Durolux set in the parking lot is how it feels on the trail. The Trace is like a Fox fork where it will feel a little overdamped just gumby'ing around but it comes alive when actually riding the bike. Especially true of rebound damping.
I think the HSC and LSC range of the Durolux would make sense if they translated to that Fox/X-Fusion experience but whether it comes down to air volumes, chassis, damper architecture or some combo of the three it really does feel amazing when it's run almost wide open.
Without taking price into consideration the Durolux would certainly still be on my short list of forks to buy for myself. Once I look at the savings a Durolux and some fresh rubber and etc has traction.
