Rob, I love how you seriously have negative shit to say about every company except FSP. No matter what part comes out you have some negative bullshit to say about it, then you just go and suck FSP's dick sooo hard. Seriously, this fork is ugly as shit and the descriptions is so stupid. Who give a shit if a fork is aerodynamic? How is it going to give you better steering capabilities than another fork? Does it steer for you?
And dude really? You just made a thread telling companies to cut out the unnecessary machining and laser etching and stuff, and then you make this thread and tell people not to complain about the $100 price for a fork. That seems a little hypocritical to me.

I only disrespect companies that deserve it. Companies that I think are unnecessary, over hyped, bad customer service, stupid parts, etc. I don't see how I'm sucking dick so much as supporting this company. They're an actual -walk in- store with great parts. Also, you used to ride for AMBUSH. How can you complain about looks? They came out with the ugliest, most vomit inducing shit in the sport.

I admit the description is stupid and the price is high, but I don't care? The fork is nice and is lighter than a FrID, I believe. There's nothing unnecessarily machined on this fork. No huge FSP logo somewhere, no fancy etching or anything. I even said in a previous post that "I ADMIT, IT'S A BIT PRICEY [sic]"

Prices are going up with a lot of things. Pair of phoenix wheels is $100, Integrated decks are $200 (Zero Gravy is $250, GEEZUS.) some bars are going up as well. If you dont like the price, don't buy it. I'm not going to make anyone buy it, i'm just promoting this product because I personally like it.

Edit lol: Does the manbush fork even have a lip for the crown race??

Try putting a spacer or something in? I'm pretty sure FSP wouldn't just blindly make a fork without knowing how it's gonna work.

Imo, the talon is such a fucking knockoff of phorx,just uglier. Idk why someone would buy those, overpriced,ugly,aluminum,etc. And i agree wit tom 100% with his post:/

this fork is ugly, thats an opinion though. it says it fits 110mm wheels, and there is a huge gap between where the race goes and where the wheel goes. that means its going to elevate the front of the deck and make the deck ride at an angle. more companys need to start taking that into consideration when making their forks. my deck goes up at an angle because lucky made my god damn fork legs too big, and its really annoying. another dumb thing about this fork is the taper, that's just pointless. as far as design goes, there obviously wasnt too much thought put into it, make a taper, include hic and internal threading, write down some fancy words in the description and hope people buy it.

the name is pretty gay imo, and the price of this fork is stupid. theres no way this thing is worth a hundred dollars. MAYBE 60, but not a hundred.

Rob, when I rode for ambush I said the fork was ugly. I never said it looked good or anything. But one thing the Ambush fork did have was innovation, the Talon fork is just another normal fork with nothing new to it, it just looks shitty and is way overpriced.

There where like little oval things with 3 holes in them that fit in the oval on the fork and the bolt ould go through one of the holes depending on the offset you want.
