Anyone considering this product? If I'm honest with myself I just really dig the way it looks. And I would purchase it if it was just slightly better than what I currently have.
I'm aware the Edge had torsional flex issues with earlier versions which is inherent in USD MTB forks. However utilizing a 20 mm through axle clamped on both sides would have to increase rigidity dramatically. I mean that's how all motorcycles do it and those vehicles weigh much more and have more traction.
And then of course who knows about the damping circuit? Is it exceptional, is it average, is it below average? This is really the most important thing. Wish I could just drop my Avy cartridge into it. Who knows, that might be easier than anyone imagined.
The A2C is preferable on the Intend. Could run an extra 5mm of travel, or instead steepen the bike up slightly at the same travel which would suit me just fine.
I think from a stiction standpoint USD is clearly superior. This also makes the damping circuit even more critical as modern standard air forks get a decent amount of their damping from seal friction.
Weight of the Intend is on par, with my current fork with it's current mods. The location of the Intend's fork weight is preferable however as the heavier portion is at the crown for strength, instead of at the wheel end going up and down.
Currently I'm running a '19 Yari 160mm travel 42mm offset fork with Push low stiction seals & an Avalanche cartridge, which works very very well.
Thoughts or experience? Thanks.
