probably not far off considering all his other for sale postings...
holy shit.... the printing on that box...... that's at least a 4-5C print op on corrugate, that is hard to do especially given that they're basically printing a photo / near photo quality. Given the size and the quantity made (assuming 2000 based on the initial production run of that fork, which was stated somewhere at launch), i'd guess that box alone cost $50
Bestest fork EVAR!!!1!!1
To be fair we have some members with enough disposable income to buy fancy dentist cars so I imagine it's only a matter of time. If it were e-bike compatible it would probably already be in monkey hands
Someone's already trying to unload one of these monstrosities??
It's what I do for a living.
given the gentrified nature of this forum (and a history of dw worship), i'm a bit surprised everyone here isn't rocking these forks currently. rm, you disappoint.To be fair we have some members with enough disposable income to buy fancy dentist cars so I imagine it's only a matter of time.

My Pivot Shuttle is riding nicely with its 150 mm travel 36 up front. Don't want to fuck that up, plus I have other things I'd rather spend my money on.To be fair we have some members with enough disposable income to buy fancy dentist cars so I imagine it's only a matter of time.

Like an even faster Tesla... and kare pan. Much kare pan.Like kare pan!!
That looks like some kind of dealer. He sells a lot of expensive stuff. But why after 2 rides???
Maybe he had some clause that said he couldn't resell it as new?
If they were 160 travel I bet there'd be at least 5 owners here. 130mm fork just isn't a big segment on here or where I live either. My 130 bike has a 150 fork.
Finally got back to this video to watch it to the end. I like that in the CONS section they don't mention that it might be overly harsh in certain situations. They mention it in the video but then conveniently forget at the end....
Even a Dentist knows better than to buy a used M5.To be fair we have some members with enough disposable income to buy fancy dentist cars so I imagine it's only a matter of time. If it were e-bike compatible it would probably already be in monkey hands

Yes, collectible cars, not for driving....for collecting.
also wives . . .
I'd be buying new wives if I had that kind of money...just saying.
Your talking about hucking. Jumping is more about the push off and not the landing. Shorter travel is better and it needs to be firm up front to push off the trail rather than push through the fork.
leelikesbikes review compared it a FOX 831, which is a short travel dirt jumping fork. He said "The fork is very firm. Because the wheel doesn’t track along the steering axis, when you push down into the fork it barely compresses. This applies to climbing out of the saddle, loading for a hop and smashing into a turn. In these moments the fork feels like it has very little travel. Another way to put it: You have a very efficient, connected attachment to the ground."
Then some guy made an edit in SLC that shows the fork being jumped the shit out of.
I don't know who to trust. It looks like the legs will fly off the crown or take the head tube with it. For some reason it reminds me of the Truvativ Hammerschmidt. Maybe it will prove to be durable and get cheaper.

why do they even bother with suspension on the dirt sidewalks they film this fork on?
Video needs more dirt sharts
But seriously do you think that dude couldn't have done all that on a 34 for a fraction of the price?
The question is if he would had trusted a 34 the same way he trusts this fork.
I was commenting to my wife about how someone gets paid more than me just to design a box that gets thrown in the trash.
we design stuff to be recyclable, its a big dept objective for my group globally, yet the irony is that everyone knows almost everything we spec that goes into the OR gets red binned.
I watched a pallet of pacemakers get tossed because the boxes got dented.
Boxes nobody will ever look at.
