Why Inverted Forks Feel Better (And It’s Not Because of Unsprung Weight)

Although I prefer spending the money for intend over a Podium, I have to counter all this negativosm about weight. There are so many people putting a smashpot or other coil conversion in their Zeb or 38 which will end up the same AS the Podium. Besides considering this , the push Must bei pretty light considering it is a coil fork with so many gimmicks.so the chassy Must bei pretty light. An intend flash 35 ist already plenty Stiff,offers up to 190mm of travel and ist not heavier than a Fox 38. So the Flash 38 ist certainly pretty Stiff and a hell of a fork. But for me the Flash 35 ist enough and a great fork. Will just Upgrade the smooth operator compression unit

First Look: Intend Flash 38 USD Fork & Smooth Operator Compression Valve

If I would want such a burly fork for my enduro or FR I would simply go with the Infinity EN and Save 200 grams of weight.

First Look: Intend Flash 38 USD Fork & Smooth Operator Compression Valve

@vinay: Only benchmark over the conventional forks from RS, Fox and so on tested yet. Pinkbike has not tested the latest Flash 35, Infinity EN or this New Flash 38 yet.
