More likely Kazimer or Levy has been riding on one of those for the past month.

YOU HAVE SAID TOO MUCH
I'm more excited to see the current arch design go away rather than seeing the members get a bit more swollen.
A nice curved arch should be a bunch better for lateral stifness compared to the previous almost 90deg "arch" with a straight bit in the middle.
Looks like we're finally back to function over form, yay!

Oh great...now we got engineers designing sh*t.
curved like a m?

No but does this help? https://m.pinkbike.com/news/review-manitou-mezzer-pro-fork.html
NSMB.com - Manitou Mezzer Pro Suspension Fork Teardown And First Impressions
First thoughts on a great looking beast of a 29'er fork that's easily adjustable between 140mm and 180mm of travel, surprisingly lightweight, and stiff as they come. Sporting Manitou's excellent Dorado IRT air system and a brand-new bladder-style damper.

But the fellas at pinkbike tell me what they feel inside.
That's far more informative.
I just came across RST's 38mm stanchioned Stitch fork, it has a 20mm boost axle and you can get a 1.5" straight steerer.
Wonder if it would be put together well enough to be a candidate for an Avy swap?
I'd still love to see tapered steerers, 15mm axles and their insignificant weight savings fuck right off.

Which is great except pretty much only dh frames have 1.5 headtubes anymore, and that's not so they can use a 1.5 steerer.
Also a tapered steerer is not an insignificant weight savings.
It's also available with a tapered steerer and COIL SPRUNG!!!:

Oh sweet, it has "Rebound Adjustment"!!!It's also available with a tapered steerer and COIL SPRUNG!!!:

TBH most of the RST forks I've dealt with had two major issues: the stanchion/bushings friction was a "constructive feature", and the same stanchions had a strong tendency to divorce themselves from the crown in a very unannounced manner.
After those RST space forks years ago that's all I can think about as well. They still making that feature?
Replacing Shims Time
It is if you don't care, also, now I flat out wouldn't buy a frame that didn't have a 44mm ID for the upper cup.
For fatties like me I see Intend's Stiffmaster as a necessity, and adding it no doubt takes away the exact amount of weight savings that going to tapered saves.
The thought of a tapered steerer and a drop in headset in a plastic frame brings tears to my eyes.
e-bike specific? 
Here we go again
Enduro specific but at 180mm of travel that smells like freeride to me.e-bike specific?
Freecountry.
so did yours have the new "standard" 1.8 or are they making a 1.5 for mere mortals?
Haha, why do you think I have one?
Multiple creaky 38s. Way to go Fox! https://forums.mtbr.com/shocks-suspension/creaking-fox-38-csu-curse-remains-1142473.html
Will this be fixed in the upgraded 2022 version that will most likely have worse damping? Stay tuned to find out!
