Which features would you care about most about fork?
Hi, everybody.
I'm from China. I want to know more about bicycle and fork. I have search some details about fork before.
I want to know if you need a XC bike with a suspension fork, which features would you care about most about the fork?
I just need your opinion about it, Thx.

It depends on many factors, but... in no particular order, the most important features to me would be:
Air spring
Adjustable rebound
Through axle
Decent weight (some of the lower priced forks are very heavy)
Low lateral flex
Tapered steer tube
