It's so that your crown race goes on straight, easily. Not that big of a deal if you ask me. When I put on crown races, I just set them on and tighten the compression and they slip right on there perfectly straight.
Hey, you never know when you're gonna need to max out at 50. If you're running from a cop, lightweight aerodynamic technology might be just what you need.
Phoenix that had sex wit-
Just kidding.
In Aus $100 is pretty much standard for a fork, some forks on SHQ go to around $200 plus.
And remember AUD dollar is pretty much the same to USD dollar.
But yeah this fork looks pretty sick, the HIC set and tapered crown race thing is pretty awesome.
If you like really light forks.
