Essentially identical to the White Bros Rock solid at 1/2 the price. I am beginning to think they are maybe stronger than many steel forks (Surly excepted.
Lost about a pound from the front end. Initial impressions are that it feels no different than the Zion, with slightly more fore-aft flex under braking. No trail time yet.
Sad thing is this bike still weighs in at about 25 lbs. I'm not a weight weenie, but how are folks getting them so light? (I see lots of SS bikes billed in the 19-22 lb range) The componentry is not exactly crap on this thing.

Got the same fork. Love it. From what I hear, it is the WB Rock Solid just re-badged.
BB7s are heavy, so are real world tires.
Dave's right. BB7s and their accompanying levers are heavy, really heavy...so is your headset, your handlebars, your downhill stem, your saddle, your cranks, and your rims/tires. I'm guessing you also have a gravity dropper on there too?
So really, the only thing "light" on your Zion, is the fork. =)
Okay, so the little things add up. I am too lazy, and too cheap to care to go any farther.
