Koga website. Loads of similar but neater versions on there too.
Thnks had a look. Seems to be a few hybrids on there with the same fork model (Koga ‘Feather Shock’)?
Again, interesting, but again there seems a dearth of mechanical/spec info on any of these. My interest in these types of fork leans (obviously) not really towards aesthetics (although really dislike the look of the lefty) but function/servicing cost/intervals. While the Headshok internals were mostly contained in the steerer-tube up in the integrated headset, these RSTs (and Koga?) seem to have gubbins all to contained within the booted section of the steerer?
Since first riding an old F400 I’ve since favoured Headshoks for the (most) solid tracking and lockout but not so much for lack of damping and proneness to shockingly 🙂 regular, complex (and therefore expensive) servicing.
That said, the short-travel Headshok on the Silkroad Tour was a roadie revelation to me touring on farm tracks, badly-repaired/rough tarmac. I was genuinely surprised how light the whole bike was considering it had front suspension and touring kit.
Sticking with rigid steel for now on new bike but will keep an eye out for carbon monoshocks if they resurface
