A picture would help for all the people here that don't know what's the Head Pentagon! I personally don't know any information on the fork except it's abusivly too much of travel!

EDIT: Here's a picture of the Head Pentagon.

Why would you want one of those?

More of like a marketing thing I'd hope.

surely one coil sprung shock would've been sufficient... looks dumb to me.

The forks on the Head Pentagon are made by a German company called Brunn. They are notorious for making overbuilt forks with 40mm stanchions even on their short travel single crown forks.

right, but even a snowmobile can have only one rear shock. i'm just saying, there's a coil shock big enough without having to go to two, but it's all for show i suppose.

2 shocks are better than one purely because it's a bigger number.
