I was very surprised at the difference changing front forks can make. Can they make you a faster rider? In my experience yes. I had a DVO diamond on my ripmo AF, and could never quite get the fork feeling great. Tried reshimming the damper a few times after speaking with Rob at DVO, but still couldn’t get the fork to feel great on fast chunk. Bought a different fork, and I was much faster riding trails I ride all the time. This was especially noticeable going into corners much faster than with my previous setup. Sometimes an upgrade isn’t really an upgrade, but I recommend trying different forks if you can’t get your current fork sorted and have put in the time to try and get it there.
