Strengths: Soft and durable with lightweight full carbon dropouts, and 5 year warranty.Weaknesses: Price, but go to CAmbria they are only 199.00 with factory warranty.Bottom Line: A very comfortable ride. The CNT Carbon Nano Technology surpasses all other carbon on the market, its the lightest strongest, and is designed to flex in the proper areas. The full carbon steerer generates an almost suspension ride. I ditched a set of Cheep Cervelo blade forks for a US engineered fork designed for stretch and comfort.

Strengths: Light weight, very strong, good damping. Very stiff with excellent steering feel. Expanding spacer works better than expansion sleeve and nut devices to tighten headset.Weaknesses: be careful clamping the carbon dropouts with a velo-vise type car carrier or skewer, the 'lawyer lugs' can break off
High price (but you get what you pay for)EC90SLX not available in a 1" steererBottom Line: The EC90SL is the best fork available in a 1" diameter. Ultra light weight, stiff, good damping, and very durable. The straight blades look great too.

Strengths: * No lateral flex
* Very light weight
* Nicely builtWeaknesses: None so farBottom Line: What a difference compared to the old Profile BRC I was using. There is less lateral flex and it does seem to absorb more vibrations better probably due to the carbon steerer tube/ all carbon design. Very light weight fork and well built. Got a great deal with the "fork it over" program Easton had.

Strengths: Helps damp the higher frequency stuff from the road
Stiff
Nearly identical to my Paramount OS fork, in dimensions, that it replaced.
LightWeaknesses: Veltec only had the straight legged version, so maybe the fork looks slightly outta place on a 12 year old lugged frame, but so what?Bottom Line: Nice. Went to CF fork hoping to damp some of the vibes and ease the pounding on my broken many times arms. Seems relatively stiff, while damping the higher frequency stuff from the road. Only real flex noted is under heavy breaking while hitting larger bumps. Nice and light.

Strengths: Supple ride, Stiff enough to sprint, forgiving enough to set a line and carve. Good looks (I think all carbon forks look good). Price. I suppose I would raving about the Reynolds Ouzo Pro too, but the EC90 is 1/2 the price.Weaknesses: None yet. But I'm keeping my eye out for the 'delamination' cited by several other reviewers.Bottom Line: I purchased the EC90 fork after riding my stock '94 R600 C'dale for for 10 years. My old body was simply getting weary of the jarring of a non-carbon fork... not to mention a full aluminum setup. I enjoyed the quickness of a full aluminum ride, but as years go by, comfort becomes key. This is where the carbon comes in.
This fork cuts like a knife in the twisties and headwinds yet is a mattress on the bumps. This and the carbon seatpost are the best upgrades I've ever made. I've now got the responsiveness of the 'old' C'dale frame with the ride of a new $3k+ racer. The Fizik Aliante is the gravy. The EC90 fork has been superb during our miles together.
Favorite Ride: Anywhere on paved Mulholland
