Well it should only add like 20$ in cost per unit on the prod side and make them much more desirable in the entry fork market. Seems crazy to me. I bet the real reason is they didnt want it to eat up some of the comp model fork sales.

but $20 on the production side does not equal $20 on the consumer side, assuming their goal was to make a stripped down, entry level, budget friendly fork.
Btw guys I have a question. So, obviously, the pressure limit on tires is there for a reason. Maxxis tires generally have pretty high pressure limits, same with the schwalbe billy bonkers (80 psi). Continentals have a pressure limit of 58 psi but pros sponsored by Continental tend to ride way higher pressure than the limit set by the manufacturer (matt jones rides 75-80 psi). So, my question is: can I ride my Continentals above the 58 psi limit? Also my specialized rhytm lite can only do 50 psi which is way too low. Can I go any higher? Even at 50 psi the tire looks like it's gonna blow up
