From the geometry pont of view, it's the same as lowest setting of every triple crown fork. From the stiffness perspective, it's probably a bit less stiff, but these are 40mm upper tubes, tapered steerer... it's plenty of stiffness, anyway :) If we'd talk about the quality of work... well, it's air, so it lacks a bit of small bumps sensitivity, but you can adjust SAG any way you want :) I am going to switch this Totem to 2012 Fox 36 180 Float Kashima for the next season. I've heard it's probably the best 180mm single crown fork on the market :)
