The RNS fork has been fine-tuned for 2010 for max weight saving. This really is as good as it gets when it comes to MTB rigid forks.
For 2010 NS have introduced a cool looking and functional compression device. This high end alloy 7075 top cup will still work w/o any modification even after you cut your steertube.
The top cup looks really clean and features 8mm & 6mm allen hex sockets.
Fundamental 2
The new, lighter 2010 version of Fundamental-2 features triple butted and tapered blades straight from the 2009 RNS-2. However NS kept the proven reinforced steertube, dropouts strong enough for grinding and what is really important, delivering a much better fork in a very similar price range. The geometry remains the same in 2010. Even though the fork now has smaller dropouts, it's still possible to run pegs.
