Howard does speak truth, and my issues with RockShox forks are firmly planted in the interaction between my weight and riding preferences and issues getting enough low speed compression damping and mid-stroke support from the spring without them becoming very harsh in fast rough terrain. I believe off-the-top smoothness is significantly less important, and RockShox have always marketed themselves through that metric. Also I hate buzzwords.
I'm sure the new Yari will be very competent for most riding. The DebonAir (spit) spring is supposed to be a fairly big improvement over the older version. It also benefits from being basically a damper and seal swap away from a Lyrik RC2.
