Just my opinion, I guess. You're probably right though.
THe only reason why the talas's r in font r because they are ajustable...
floats r smoother...

stay awaaaay from rst. They weigh loads, they have no topout dampening so when your pedalling you will hear clunk clunk clunk clunk, most people I know have blown the seals so oil is leaking out of them, and they go rigid after a while. If you don't have much money to spend, get rigid! Or dirt jumper series

Dj2's for 87 quid

rrp is like £250 Smile

It's funny how much MTBers complain about a fork for DJing, saying a GI60 "has no dampening". Do you REALLY need it for JUST DJing? No, you don't. You more or less just need suspension up front to absorb the shock of landing.

BMXers are rigid with a 20in wheel, bombing gnarly stuff and you don't ever hear them complaining about damening or needing travel. A 20in wheel is far less forgiving than a 26 to begin with, let alone adding suspension.

A GI fork is perfectly fine for DJing. It's just that most people want all the little bells and whistles, and most of the time, don't even need it.

i personnally think that the best dj fork is a fork that performs to the needs it is put through. such forks as the gold label. the only thing that can really go wrong is it snapping. which rarley happens

Agyle hands down. Very strong, no flex, looks great, no leakage, plenty of adjustments and actually feels plush like real suspension unlike marzocchi DJ crap
