Depending on the tube thickness that was used to make that fork it can have a pretty good spring. I have ridden a bike with straight forks that was made with a thinner walled tubing that was pretty comfortable. The bike I rode had a 42mm rake. I can't tell for sure but the bike looks like it has pressed bearings installed as the fork steerer tube is even at the top.
