I ended up strongly disagreeing with me about rigid forks if you have a second read. If the bike was for me, or you, then absolutely. But as a number of folks pointed out to me, the person actually buying this bike is only buying it with a suspension fork. And given that, I think the basic coil provides the right mix of movement and simplicity.
For the record though… It’s not that I don’t think that said casual or aspiring mountain biker couldn’t have fun with a rigid fork, they just wouldn’t buy the bike.
\[_Thanks. I’ll give it another read through when I’m awake. Sometimes you stare at your own errors late enough/long enough and they look tickety-boo_\]
