My 2012 RF Pro just came in on Friday the 28th. I’ve had it out 3 times now and I’m still dialing the suspension in. The ride is perfect, just as I remember when I rode the 2011 RF II. I can’t say I notice a considerable difference in the fork compared to the non-DRCV 2011, but I haven’t ridden a variety of trails with it yet. The most amazing thing to me about the RF is that I expend less energy and ride my local trails much faster. It’s a very confident machine that really does pedal well up hills when set up correctly.
Highly recommended, especially for guys like me that beat up on bikes. The bike is rock-solid and surprisingly light for its purpose and size.
I rode a 2011 Rumblefish II at a Trek Demo Day this year. Amazing! Fast, stable, handled like it was on rails. I’m a big guy (6’3" and 235lbs) and I love to break things on my bikes. The demo guy basically said the Fish was made specifically for guys like me. I ran it for 7 miles and loved every second of it. I’m in the same boat as you. My plan is to buy the Rumblefish Pro at the end of this season. One ride and I was sold! My only complaint is that the top of the line Fish went from $3849 to $4519! They added 10mm of travel to the back and the DRCV Fox fork.
