How are you getting on with them? Any reliability issues?

Some dealers have demo forks so you could see if they work for you.

Had mine on the E-MTB since October, gave them a lowers service last week as preemptive work since I'd been riding them 6 months over Winter and they were clean as a whistle inside.

The included fender seems to have a part to play, it shields the seals and stanchions from most of the spray from the front wheel.

I’ve been looking at them too, as I was always a fan of their previous forks. Like the pitch of them being (somewhat) set and forget, but want to hear what others think. Miss the backwards arch, it’s an idea that always made sense to me, both from a stiffness, but also a tyre clearance point of view.

Apparently the larger reverse arch had clearance issues with certain bikes' downtubes, DT would have had to sacrifice significant tyre clearance to keep it.

If you're anywhere near the Hope Valley, or fancy a riding trip then we (18 Bikes) have the Madison demo DT forks on loan this week.

I had a quick play with one on a Bronson demo this weekend - but planning more of a ride with them tomorrow evening. Looking forward to it!
