I don't have enough time on the 4CS to comment. The Bladder CC forks that Don from Pro-Action did for me ( same settings that Chris & ran ) are awesome - best forks I've ridden for sure. :thumbsup:

The stock 4CS forks are almost as good as my Riders Edge CC tuned forks. I did have to play with my sag to get the proper feel for them and I want to experiment with oil heights and viscosity next. The serviceability of them makes them nicer than the CC to play with.

Looks like the new 1190 Adventure is going to be sweet, 150 HP :crazy: , under 500 lbs. & only 10 lbs. heavier than the old 990.

The 2013 hussy I bought has the 4cs forks. Now I was coming off a 2003 KTM 250 sx but in my opinion the Husaberg forks are probably the best thing about the bike period! The suspension is amazing.

Some 1st impressions of th 14 250XC.
1. Suspension has great potential. Rear hooks up where the 11 wouldnt, and front stays in contact with tge ground giving great confidence on sidehill roots etc.
2. After a little jetting the engine feels slightly stronger but is very linear. The only "hit" is from your right wrist. This is an engine that will make you go fast through the bush with no drama.
3. Yaahooooo.
4. Last year the husa guys had issues with the fork blowing through the stroke... I have not noticed that yet.
