We can only judge a design by competition!
So,
At that era, this design was a better solution that the current telescopic forks. By comparing it with today’s standards it is quite unfair.
Also.
Imagine the evolution of this line of design, if it had the attention of the industry that telescopic forks had (and still enjoy)…

Shocks are Fox front/rear. I have the slightly later PRST-4 and it’s so plush.

I’m not sure where you’re looking but it only has one rear shock.
