I'm guessing that's what the oval steerer tube might be about - it's a combination of tolerance stacking & cantilevering a lot of load through a fairly small surface (and aluminum's CTE makes this a bit tougher).
Details like this are why looking at the price, and my own personal scale when I put my tubby self on there, I find myself looking at the 'lesser' products in the Fox lineup (Marz Z2) and wondering if I'd be better off getting custom tuned dampers and sticking with beefier suspension parts, and spending the difference elsewhere to make back the weight (carbon cranks).
