Well, here's the blurb from Pinarello. I don't know about any of that, but it looks cool (to me) and the ride is fantastic.

ONDA FP's reversed double S offers a more stable ride in the turns and under breaking, and good damping from road shock without affecting steering; this offers 5% more overall stiffness and 10% more over our Beta fork.
