I have a 2015 that I bought as a leftover March of 2016. For me, the forks didn't grip at turn-in and wanted to push out, if that makes sense?
I had TBT Racing in Arizona tune them for a mix of off-road (Utah desert) and MX. I'm amateur speed in the desert and novice speed at the track. He set me up with a "GP setting". I've been very, very happy with the results. The front end grips through the turn, especially at turn-in. No more push. Tracks straight in the chop and is plush in initial stroke. Also, I have only ever bottomed once ... and thought it was going to be much, much worse than it was. Johnny at TBT offered great support after I got them back.
Off road, the forks are plush over rocks and do not deflect. It tracks very well through sand whoops. I can back the compression way out if I go to the canyon and ride single track, which includes rocks and roots. Does well there too.
My only frustration, is with the bars in the forward-most mount position, I cannot easily adjust the compression, as the bar is directly over the adjuster and doesn't allow a screwdriver to get access.
