What kind of riding characteristics should I expect from a elastomer fork?? I thought the coil bomber would be somewhat plushier and definitely more foul proof compared to a light weight air fork
I do know that elastomer forks ride differently than superlight air forks, however I wasn't necessarily implying it's any worse, just different. From my understanding, elastomer forks are a bit more "bouncy" than air forks and air forks tend to have stiction through the first little bit of travel. Also, with most coil forks you can't adjust both rebound and compression damping.
