How good would a 2011 x fusion velvet rl be for dj, I'm looking for a really light weight fork
The australian distributer has said that they should not be used for dj, even there pro rider will not be using it so just think about that.

Their pro rider Aaron chase uses it

Pro riders can be counted out here, especially Aaron Chase... Would you run a lefty fork in your top tube? I know I wouldn't. Besides, he could snap/crack/bend/break a pair every time he rides, and just get a new one. TBH, I would run almost anything light enough on my bike if I got paid for it.
