i had a set of those (still have, actually) . looked very trick, but were decidedly not great. super flexy laterally & torsionally (USD + qr axle + not much bushing overlap), they'd even twist under braking. and they were elastomer sprung - which felt ok out of the box (all 2.5" of travel), but the elastomers would gradually harden & compress and the fork would get progressively shittier.
\[tales from the rocking chair\] - those who didn't experience the janky old days have no idea how ridiculously good current bike tech is.
