Has anyone personally seen or used this fork? It looks great but does it feel great or is it sturdy enough for hard hits. Been checking www.cannondale.com lately and saw this as a standard fork for its high-end XC and All-Mountain rides. I guess this will cost a lot...

I think the main advantage of this type of a fork is the reduction of its weight. If its price is about the same as a Z150's then I rather get the later.
But then again, if you're weight conscious and then you might want to consider this.
Thanks Ben.

Looks like a broken fork to me, hehehehehhe Read somewhere (way back...) when Cannondale first introduced its "lefties" regarding the durability of their forks. The reply was something about 747s and othe airplanes having single-legged landing gears. So if the 747s can take-it why can't a bicycle.
