Its the much needed castor, suspension forks maybe straight but the wheel sits in front of the fork to have that caster. Some do have a completly straight fork but a head tube more angled to makr up for it.
I have three curved and one straight blade ATM. The straight bladed one has a canted steerer tube for rake. You can also get rake on straightblade forks by putting the dropouts out front of the blades, BMX style. or some funky crown action.
