Maybe. I ride a 21 panda but when I went from my phoenix session to my current 21 Pandemonium, I could pop better and balance rails better.

Does anyone make cool steel forks anymore? I want something slim like a Proto Striker if any of you know what that is.
I think the closest thing to a steel fork right now are the new TSI Van Delle forks (I probably butchered the name but whatever). If I remember right, I believe the forktube is chromoly while the fork itself is aluminum. So not fully steel.

And I believe TSI discontinued Thom Cats? You might still be able to find a pair of those somewhere. Although they're not exactly slim like strikers are.

It's a shame steel forks are so hard to find now. I've always preferred heavier forks to lighter ones, which is why I'm still running my strikers. Like I put on some tilt forks for awhile like a month ago, and my entire scooter just felt like absolute trash hahaha

I have a set of what I believe are v1 Thom Cats right now. I traded a set of Strikers for them years ago and I wish I hadn't. Didn't TSI make a fork between the Thom Cat and the Vandelle? It was like a single piece of pipe that had been cut into the fork body shape.

Yeah but better than nothing. I know envy makes a steel IHC fork but everyone here uses SCS right? Also https://www.thevaultproscooters.com/shop/tsi-thom-cat-v2-fork-scshic
