Then don't buy it. At £2k I'm in no danger of spending my cash on it.

£600 for titanium nitride coating, mmmmmm, don't think so. Pace forks had that and didn't cost £600 in total.

2k for a viral marketing campaign doesn't seem too expensive to me, or am I just being cynic-al?

That would buy the headset topcap and spacers with a bit towards the blinged up grips in my post! Oh, and £650 spare!

extortionate prices for DH forks are nothing new, You could have spent £2K on a DH fork 10 years ago.

And these ones will work alot better too

In comparison to top end Ohlins higher end motorcycle forks it is comparable.

He's dropped £200 off the grips, is it now a bargain?
