(IIRC) James has a (relatively) weak fork so that in the event of a head-on impact, the (cheaper to replace) fork will deform rather than the forces being passed through the fork and head tube to the (expensive to replace) top and down tubes.
This is based on the strength of the fork, not its stiffness.
