I dunno. There's very few cheap DH forks about, so it's an unexplored market. If it comes in around £500-£700 it'll make a killing I'd have thought.

manitou tried it a few years ago, TBH IMO theyd be better off putting aluminium stanchions on it, steel ones are just too cheep and nasty. A cheep DH fork with usable damping is a good idea though.

Aye, it's the old "Cheap, strong, light. Pick two" thing.

Downhill bikes are really expensive though.

I can see this cropping up a lot as OE, and being a lot more appealing than the Marz forks that come on a lot of lower-end big bikes.

Would expect it to be closer to, or less than, £500 rather than £700.

More appealing than Marzocchi? Not sure I agree here.
