They obviously have plenty of experience making slidey posts, i would have though doing a dropper would be an obvious progression.

Why don't hope make deraillers? Why don't Ferrari make lawn mowers? Why don't Boeing make cars?

Because they're happy enough as they are.

Realistically? bit of a stuffed Market at the minute, not really worth chasing a slice of that pie when there are other's already established in the market and they'de have to throw money at developing a product only to discover the masses mostly buy Reverbs anyway...

See USE's previous adventures with suspension forks...

I read the first post a little differently , but might be wrong

Been ages since I've seen a sub fork but the internal cartridge was not a use one but an total air one as used by many others

I bet the Gatorskins held a real good line through the corners

I have a bad feeling one of my upcoming projects will be to make a linkage based fork... lets just hope it doesn't break like my full suss did!

I'd love a 29er sub fork with a bit of 2014 tuning 😀
