Mohamed. how are you gonna say they fail? you've never ridden them, you've never probably even seen them in person, so stop just agree-ing with what everyone else is saying.

Only 1/3 weaker than chromoly, but HALF the weight.
Think about it.
With all the extra material, it's just as strong or stronger than any chromoly or steel forks, but still way lighter.

Some people say that aluminum threads will bend when you tighten your clamp.
Wrong.
The threads are kind of low profile, which makes it harder for them to bend.

Both of those statements are grossly inaccurate. Just because aluminum is lightly per cubic inch does not mean that forks made out of aluminum will be lighter because everything needs to be twice as thick. I would be willing to bet that those weigh just as much, if not more than SR forks if you actually put them on a gram scale. French ID forks and Razor Pro Model forks are practically the same weight and they are two different materials.

As for "low profile" threads... there is no such thing. All thread pitches and and counts are standardized which means the threads are exactly the same as on a Pro Model fork... only made out of aluminum.

I personally think the forks are a good design except for the aluminum threads but you should really get your facts straight before posting that stuff.

I forgot where I read it, but aluminum is supposed to be 1/2 the weight of chromoly, but only 1/3 weaker.
Meaning that if you use twice as much aluminum on the Take2 Forks as there is steel on SR Forks, (and there should be somewhere around that much more), than the Take2 Forks will be just as light and just as strong, if not lighter.

The thread count is the same, yes, but I'm almost positive the threads stick out the tiniest bit less than on pro-model forks. Meaning the threads will be harder to bend.

what kind of bars are you using. id think the threads would be fine with stocks but i would think most one pieces would mess em up

Yeah stocks would work amazingly.
I'm running one-pieces that I made.
Trust me, I made them right, I've made several pairs.

Murphy is completely right thoe. Just send him 1 fork and he'll give you a complete review about it.. If that fork can handle Murphys intense molesting of scooter parts, it might be a great fork... but until murphy trys it, im still gonna have my negative opinions about it.

But with you and everyone else who doesn't like the forks.. Do you have ANY proof to back your belief that the forks suck? Besides that you think they have a bad design, don't like aluminum, etc etc?
Do you have any experience riding the forks? Any physical proof that they break?
No.
So GTFO mah thread.

Yes people dont have proof that they will brake YET.
But why would they buy a fork that costs 130$ when thay can buy inwards, french id and protos(when they come out) that HAVE reviews and have been tested.
So which one would people buy think about it.

I'm not at all saying he shouldn't give a pair to Murphy.
But machining is expensive, he doesn't make a profit, he can't just give away over a hundred dollars.

Well think of it this way.. Your willing to just randomly spend $130 dollars on something you are not even sure is any good or not? If you have money to waste, that is fine with me, but i am not going to waste my money like that. These forks look ugly. They have no good reviews other then you, and your trying to tell me to gtfo? Maybe you should get your facts straight. Have you rode every single fork out there? Do you even break forks to prove these are any better? How long have you had the fork to say its even worth getting? Before you say im like everyone else, you should actually do more testing then just riding it for 5 minutes and saying this fork is so AMAZING.

I already have a negative spot for them because T2I kept nagging about them in any thread saying they're better than SR's blah blah.

120-130 is horrible, even if it's machined. i'd rather get an inward offset .120" threaded. Cheaper, reviewed, not aluminum.

the reason why no body has bought this isnt mainly for the price i guesss but because no one has tested them... if take2 gave a fork to someone legit and the forks holded up for em, more people will buy the forks... but no1 legit has tested em so far... so take2 losses basically..... other companys like inward beat em... tbh
