cool concept.
As someone who's run an otherwise identical 26" and 650b forks on the same bike, a +/- 9mm offset change is absolutely noticeable.
Different thing. This doesn't change the reach or head tube angle, it changes the fork offset.
i had the same thought. didn't wanna be the one to point it out.
I think it's great and will likely be the next "revolution" in DH geometry.
I've ridden forks with 65mm offset and 34mm offset, as well as 45 and 51. For me, the shorter the better in almost all conditions. Being able to adjust it would give you room to play.

Da fuq has a 65mm offset?
thats the only thing im thinking about just looking at it
Does one need room to play, or would a simple single-position, low offset work?
Looks creaky
Looks flexy.
Will be available in 1mm steps for an extra 200$ to shave off those nano seconds while doing shuttle runs at your local parking lot.
what works for me not work for everybody else. There are plenty of mtbrers that swear by having 51mm offset on their 29ers. Having tried both, 46mm offers more direct feel and less floppiness. Plus I think there will be some compromise between head angle and offset that offers riders the best feel...without knowing everybody's individual setups, I think some level of adjustability makes sense.
29'ers are all flappers
I kinda get those arguments for trail/AM/enderpo bikes, but hot important is it for DH?
some of us go faster on our DH bikes than our trail bikes.....
I know I suck on my DH bikesome of us go faster on our DH bikes than our trail bikes.....
but I was talking about the whole 51 vs 46 debate.
Then the question is, can most riders tell the difference and make an educated choice? If they can, wouldn't it make sense to manufacture a couple of fixed sizes that will weigh less and stay silent? Reminds me of these god-awful things
sorry if I am confused, but that's what I was talking about as well. 51 vs 46 seems to make a difference in my experience for big wheels and trail bikes.
35 and 65 certainly made a difference in little wheels big bike. I think that the next tuning scheme (like head angle was in 2003) will be toying with offset.
@maxydor: no, the average rider probably cannot tell the difference. That doesn't mean that bike nerds like myself and people far more capable shouldn't be toying with it (just like angle adjust headsets). Really good bike riders can ride a trike like I can ride a DH bike, so I'm not sure they'll care until somebody says "Hey try this and see if you go faster".
