I just came across a review the Cannondale Slate which intrigued me as you rarely see a suspension fork on a bike with dropped handlebars.

Cannondale seem to be chuffed with the weight of their super lightweight carbon fibre high tech lefty fork...

the tracking on the lefty is probably about 1000% better. The damper actually works and you can't watch the fork leg(s) bending back 2 or 3 cm under quite mild braking..........

Have you ridden the Rockshox?

 

[mattr]

Not the SLs no. But i had a set of Mag 21s. Why?

 

[Pionir]

Wondering how you would define/describe a difference in damping and tracking. I can't tell much difference from my old steel forks to the Rockshox, so much so that I'm not sure they're even doing much (other than the placebo effect). The fork legs don't bend at all. Maybe the extra travel of the Mag21s contributed to the bending?

I have fitted Marzzochi XC500 and 700's to road bikes with good results
