The equivalent 110 mm travel traditional fork is around two or more pounds heavier. Once I got use to the more precise and accurate turning, I don't want to go back to an old traditional fork.
Thank you for the comments. I love the bike! Definitely changed the look of the bike completely, i really like it |

i always just picture the wheel tearing off in something like a 4cross race or an otb crash. has a cool look to it, although that is an unstable and awkward look.

Bought this for a fair price the other day and it's due to get here on monday :)

I don't think that it "needs" to be supported on both sides...though I think there is a reason they don't build a LeftyFR180.:D |
when are they going to start making lefty carbon road bike forks?

Have you compared the precision to something like a PIKE or other 20mm TA fork?

It "seems" like it could until you think about that same one-sided design being on each corner of the car you drive.
