As the title states, any reviews of the Edge 1.0?
It's offered as a $150 upgrade on my next bike, so I'm considering it.
Leaning towards the cheaper Edge 2.0 and the extra 50 grams, though.

Thanks

Not tried it but Edge suggested the 2.0 as being stiffer of the two for my 95 kilos.

I have one - huge improvement over the previous Easton SLX 90 generally in terms of stiffness and effect on steering however I detect/suspect that the steerer is a little softer than the Easton leading to a little more flex in the stem/bar if your fanatical about that aspect. Weight in UD finish uncut was 288g. I am building another bike and will go with the 2.0 fork as I weigh 100kg and am looking for a more robust wet weather rig. In short an excellent fork.

How comfy is it compared to the Easton?

I haven't found it to be any harsher than the Easton (which isn't harsh at all) - that may be attributable to the aforementioned movement in the top end. Steering is certainly mor precise and predictable.
