As I stated in a previous comment, I've got experience with the Auron, but not the Durolux. I'm looking for a new fork for my Sentinel and debating between this, the GRIP2 36 PE, and soon-to-be released Mezzer. I'm on a Helm currently.
I'm curious if you've had a chance to compare the Durolux RC2 to the GRIP2 or the other forks (Helm, Mezzer)? I've heard such good feedback about the GRIP2, but yet to ride one, although being a heavier rider on more aggressive terrain, the chassis stiffness of the Durolux is tempting.
My main concern is the a2c on the Durolux is ~10mm longer than the 36, which is going to slack the bike out some (although Fox's spec sheet says +-5mm, so maybe it's not as big of a difference). I also know that with my Auron, I ended up running closer to 25% sag vs the 20% I typically run with Fox, so it may balance out some. I had such a good experience with my Auron that it's tempting to try out. Sadly, their demo program doesn't have the 29 Durolux or the reduced offsets :(
