Same here, but I'd like to test ride in any case.
As it's only one lever and not moving parallel the front wheel changes position?

Maybe it is lost in translation but they seem quite happy with it. I think one of the owners (who had their bike stolen) is the one on the UA fb group. Another had been running it for about 3 years and 10k km.

I literally just don’t know how much better these inverted stanchion forks can be, I’m pretty familiar with the life span and durability of the spinner forks they ship with the UA xl, the maintenance cycles are too short to be sustainable for a work / daily bikes imo.

I’ve never used a premium traditional sus fork though maybe it will make a world of difference.

I think if terms of bushing overlap and front to back stiffness, inverted forks have an advantage. Where they often lose out is in torsional stiffness. Maybe in a small wheel format this would be less of an issue, maybe on a bike where it's easy to oversteer it could make it worse?
