USE forks..

Before i start, sorry if this is in the wrong place, not too used to posting here.

Anyway, has anyone ever used a bike with these anti - dive forks?

If so what do you think?, im just curious, dont think i've ever seen any similar forks before.

Thanks beforehand

I came across a tester before they were released, I got to bob up and down a curb on them! I can confirm that yes indeed, they do squidge up and down.

Never seen one since. The idea is they remain upright under heavy breaking, resisting the natural compression because of your shifting weight. The only thing I know! But the engineering must be amazingly precise to balance your shifting weight whilst not compromising suppleness.

lol, i can imagine that they must be very well engineered to cost £600

To me thats a lot of money for forks, dont know about anyone else , and i am curious to see if they're strong enough, after all they are only half a fork

I'd love to give them a try, wonder if they'd be good for XC.

Jeezo...they're a bit odd. Im still curious to try a single forked bike, I dont think I will ever trust them until I have a thrash about.
