I thought so to. A very organized response. Almost as if...........................
trust then verify??? Wait...verify then trust??
The whole thing seems pretty weird. The big hype in the beginning. The long wait for a review that.....I have to say, I would not like if it was for my product..
When was the last time there was so much hype? With such disappointing or at least disparate reviews?
Sorry. it shouldn't be "it's the best thing ever, unless you hate it"
This is why we need @Sandwich to hire and review the fork. Objective review from a journeyman for the rest of us.
Should we do a "pass the hat around" thing since the shirts have kinda fizzled?
Trust the Kranked bro. We gettin shirts.
They won't even let me install it. And I'm pretty sure it was my alien wrench (fox 36 topcap doodad)
A well known LBS owner here has one and loves it. He's a crazy good rider. He's a big DW homer, too.
Had two riders both with Trust forks ride past my wife and I while we were walking the dog shaped object a couple of weeks ago. They were on a trail we ride on rigid 29er's so I'm sure the expensive forks were helping them shred gnar.
Another failed USD fork (is there another thread for these?)

Expensive and flex, here we go again
Review: Intend Infinity Dual-Crown USD Fork - Pinkbike
It's German, expensive, and upside-down. Is the Infinity fork worth it?
Expensive and flex, here we go again
The only thing I like less than a USD fork for a Mtb is a homemade, 3D-printed, blue ano USD fork for a MTB.
Not all USD forks are created equally. I don't have the numbers for dual crowns but the Intend Edge is 17,3 Nm/° in torsional stiffness while the CRconception Fore (http://www.crconception.com/FORE-SC/) is 37,7Nm/°.
For reference a Pike is 35,3 and the trusty Fox 36 is 25,3Nm/°. The Lyrik/Yari is 38,6Nm/°.
CRconception forks have bushings at the bottom of the upper legs and at the top of the stanchions/lower legs, see animation in the link above. This and probably other things increases the torsional rigidity.
Disclaimer: some people might be upset by the numbers for the Fox 36. The numbers are for a 160mm 15mm axle fork around 2-3 years ago. There is very little room for error of measurement since several models yield the same kind of results over the year and similar numbers can be found from Fox themselves (I just don't know where).
There is just quite a difference between measured and perceived torsional stiffness. I have ridden the same bike with both a 36 and a Yari and would say that the 36 is just a tiny bit stiffer than the Yari. There is a long way between the front tire contact patch and your hands on the handlebars so that the torsional stiffness of the fork alone, once above a certain level, might not be the most important property. The damping and spring curves are quite likely to blur our perception of torsional stiffness.

maybe you should try reading again. only the rebound knob was 3d printed
Does it have a torsional rebound knob, too?maybe you should try reading again. only the rebound knob was 3d printed
Oh I know.
Home-CNC'd or home-printed, either way we don't need this.

Come on, really?
You no like innovation, outside the box thinking, or just weird nutters going "what if"?
With out people playing in their garages we would still be riding this
But, as you can clearly see, the lizards have been with us from the beginning.
Reach looks pretty good. Nice, upright seat tube angle, too. Just might be hard to steer or not pummel one's crotch what with the lack of any provision for the feet.
Recreating a 90s MX fork in your garage is the opposite of innovation imo. I’m of the opinion that a new fork chassis is the last thing this industry needs.
There is maybe some development to be done on dampers, but none of that is contingent on a USD chassis.
That wooden hobby horse or whatever looks kinda fun though.

Where did you get the numbers from? How do the Boxxer and Dorado stack up?
The numbers are from the guy behind CRconception and from a German online article: https://www.bike-magazin.de/komponenten/federgabeln_daempfer/test-2017-enduro-mtb-federgabeln/a37289-page3.html
I have seen numbers for the Dorado and Boxxer, also on a German site, but they were measures around 10 years ago, if I remember correctly. I cannot find a link at the moment... maybe somebody here has it?

wrong thread. missing link discussion is over here...
and on-topic, it's been a while since we read about this fork, so I thought I'd revive it: https://bikerumor.com/2019/08/28/review-trust-performances-the-message-trailing-link-suspension-fork/
(although I'll readily admit I don't care enough to actually read the article...)
trust was dropping some vagueish posts over the weekend, seeming to imply that something new is pending launch
Paralellogram-driven lefty. You heard it here first.
they posted a teaser video, comments seem to think it's gonna be a longer travel enduro version
I am thrilled! 
the only thing better than a fork that binds is a fork with more travel that doesn't get used when it binds
all but confirmed i reckon

interesting that this was preceded with a factory sale ($250 off) on the original fork (that was already price dropped $725). worried about dead stock?
