From the top they're both fantastic forks, and I'm not just saying that. Both the 40 and the Boxxer are excellent. I would not be upset to ride / race on either. But if I were to pick one, it'd be the 40. The 40 is a bit more precise, I like the chassis stiffness, and the GRIP2 damper allows me to run the fork more supportive, but without it ever feeling harsh. I also like the air bleeders on the 40, and the integrated mud guard is excellent.
