It has no major affect on balance. What it does is offer a more responsive ride because the single strut is stronger than a traditional for so I don't lose anything. The bike turns amazingly well and if you are not careful, you can overturn. The forks are much lighter than the two sided counterparts also. 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!

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.

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.

i do suppose all those xc weight weenie racers aren't hucking off a cliff. Same concept as a car but not as beefy and doesn't have the wheels on the other side of the vehicle to counter act pulling with pushing forces right? I looked for ones that have failed and came up with nothing regardless.

I've never ridden one, but maybe it's one of those things that people worry about that, in reality, isn't much of a problem.

So ya wanna give some details on the wheels? I get the Sun hubs...but rims?
I can give you the details on the brakes. Those are the ones that B2B had on his epic when he drove the car into the garage...can you say "Roof Rack?" Ripped the bike in two. The fron caliper split open like a walnut and we had to heli-coil two of the caliper screws back in. One tube of epoxy later and we were happy enough with the job to order him a new set and pass the epic's off on some poor sap. I don't recall who he said he was sending them too.
What happened to your Elixir's?
