$280 for a new Alpha Q X2 tandem fork? The catch is its the 41mm rake, the comotion model. So if you have a comotion tandem and have been thinking of getting this fork, now's your chance. Its about $70 less than the best price I've ever seen. Unfortunately the 44mm rake fork is still ~$350.

You'd need to check with someone like Gary Forman at Co-Motion to get the definitive answer, but I'm fairly sure they use the 44mm rake version on their tandems. The Wound-Up fork they also offer uses 45mm of rake. Their stock chromoly forks use 50mm of rake.
