I’ve looked at stiffness claims as marketing bull crap for a long time. I mean the forces a given rider puts on a fork don’t change. You stiffen one part up the forces will concentrate somewhere else. At my weight, 142, X percent stiffer than something that doesn’t really flex is meaningless. Plus I thought we wanted compliance these days?
At what point does one simply go dual crown? I suppose some will want a tighter turn radius But based on my experience with a Trek and Nock Block and years ago a VPFree and Boxxer u turn its a non issue.
