Fox's Prototype Inverted DH Fork
What a shame to discontinue. I understand weight being an issue. No one will buy a new design if it weights significantly more. No sense in taking a step forward to take two back. That said I would be curios to the ideas they had to get the torsional stiffness under control. Maybe a bump up to 42 mm stanchions and maybe a new hub standard (hint hint, Shimano) did it with the 15mm why not a 25mm?

Marzocchi Prototype Suspension - First Look
Its nice to see that the inverted fork has not been tossed out as a great idea. It makes perfect sense from an engineering standpoint. Hopefully they can work out the small kinks that have kept other designs from become more mainstream! The technology and advanced material/ techniques suspension manufactures are using now for "regular style," forks combined with the inherent benefits of an inverted design are sure to make for a very smooth and sensitive fork action. Im thinking a inverted, bomb-proof, Fox 40 but lighter and with more tire clearance. Looks Promising!!!
