it seems like they are taking a stab at dampers. i havent heard very much about them. the thor looks like it could be a very good with 4-6 inches of travle on 11/8 or 1.5 at 2600grams(5.72lbs). how do these forks preform? durability? stiffness? has anyone ridden them? i'm just looking for some info.

I briefly played with the smaller fork, the ronin I think it's called. they have some nice machining work done on them and are pretty good looking forks overall. That said the one I saw didn't feel very good but the whole bike was in poor shape and it probably needed a rebuild. I think magura is starting to push their suspension line in the US this year so hopefully we'll see more of them on the trails. I'd definately be interested in trying the 6" single crown they have. The high and low speed compression damping on that fork looks interesting.
