That's a shame. Their Hover shock in silver has my attention and my curiosity.
But then again, I have a Hardtail so.....

It’s fair enough though, my Raw Edge fork doesn’t look as well as it might do, without corrosion. Looks good from far away, but up close, not perfect.

Lovely, lovely, but that's another bike with headset routing though Rolleyes I like how they describe it on their website: "All cables go through the headset into the frame. This does not only offer an exceptionally clean look, it also means the cables interfere less with your steering" or how to create a problem by pretending to solve a problem that nobody ever had.

I can't really see the issue in it, and I'm one of the dudes in the trenches working on this shit when a race is in six hours. I know it's fashionable to shit on for the moment, but it does seem to be what the wider market wants. You're going to have to get use to it.

I can't get over the fork one side dual crown one side not. Just dual crown it or single crown it. I get the enginerding behind it, but visually it's just wrong.

I am going to build my next homemade steel bike with headset internal routing just to piss people off.

It is clearly the new trend to shit on headset routing at the moment, and while I do agree that the joke is getting a bit old, I still think that this is a lazy design that bring more complication than usefulness, though, it sure look cleaner.
