I’ve got R2C2s, but it’s the same chassis, just different damping. The RC/Race is still a very nice fork, no question that they’ll do the job. Durable (though not bulletproof, tbh nothing is immune to downhill!), easy to look after (no harder than any other Rockshox fork). This year’s RC2 is way better than my old Teams and they were only a few years old.

If you can stretch to an R2C2 I reckon it’s worth it- though the flipside of that is that the extra adjustment can be a bit much if you’re not used to it. Buying used, it doesn’t always add much to the price.

Plus there are at least three companies doing replacement damper cartridges including fast suspension, avalanche and CR1 engineering. So when you have the money, just upgrade to some really awesome internals.
