I was able to slam the fork down in the past for those real tough climbs, i had stopped using it latley in anticipation of having a different system. This will be a change from the ETA i was used to. It feels like you could still break it free if you managed to drop with it closed. The lockout still allows like 20mm of travel, then gets really progressivly stiff. Ive yet to trail ride the fork, but i did the standard driveway ride. the difference between the 2 is the race has a steel steer and a solid crown, where the team is alloy/hollow. The Team ive heard is on target for weight of 4.75lbs. For reference though my z1 was 5.36 lbs, so for me i wont notice the weight. It came in heavier than the claimed weight of 4.95 lbs. I can already tell this will be much stiffer than the old fork. I dont know if 140mm meets your "long travel" requirement, but its longer than the 2002 z1 i just replaced.
