personally i love that reversed arch. the look and it works great for footjams though some people will disagree.
It's shitty for footdams. I kill my big toe in that thing

ok! whitebrothers forks are way to pricy for what you get... The BOS company only makes DH forks. RST just plain suck. EDIT: the atomlab forks look ok, but they are kinda heavy. gold lables suck because there made by manitou and marzocchi forks are heavy and snap. ive never even seen/heard of the other one. so that leaves rock shox. ROCK SHOX WINS!!!Big Grin
i said it once and ill sat it again. ROCK SHOX WINS!!!

Actually White Bros for the big one is like 1200$ as oppose to like a 888 world cup which is probably more expenisive i think

i really hate that the stanchions are 36mm, so the lowers are super wide too, then look at the frame...


as a friend who knows nothing about bikes said when looking at my bike and a friends, the RST looks more sturdy, he continued to say it was like thicker/beefier.

i think it takes away from the sleakness of a cr-mo frame...

i agree, get a beefier frame or a thinner fork, just looks weird

Not that much, not sure on the exact number. There is one on my local Craigslist for 185 'less then a month old'

Way to go! They can call it whatever they want, it's their product. They will tweak the wording to appeal to their target consumer.

If you want to call an elastomer "travel", by all means.
I think for its ridiculous personally. And yeah, your right elastomers don't really mean travel but that's what they call it.
these are overly heavy for what they are, you might as well put really stuiff springs in a lowered argyle 302
