The Edge 2.0 fork doesn't have a weight limit, however it does specify:

Warning:Edge Composites forks are not approved for tandem bicycle use.
The Alpha Q fork weighs 375 grams and the Edge 2.0 350 grams. Edge components in general, and the Edge fork in particular, are reputed very stiff and robust for their weight. So, it isn't known that the Alpha Q is more tandem capable than the Edge, though it has a tandem designation.

Edge knows that the tandem market is interested in its forks, but it may not think the tandem market worthwhile to test the 2.0 for that application.
