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
Edge 1.0 fork - any actual reviews?

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.

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.
