Morati Ti forks

[Major22]

Yeah well worth it, far superior fork to the Ti P2 I previously had

In what way? Just curious to know, haven't ever tried Ti P2's myself.

Just in handling - build quality of the Ti P2 is top notch.
I found the Ti P2 quite flexy, both fore and aft under heavy braking (very unnerving) but also lateral flex when climbing out of the saddle & pulling on the bars.

It's really down to the tube diameters used - Ti P2 are from memory 28.6mm while the Morati are 32mm (industrial plumbing as Anthony so succinctly put it ).
Without running finite element analysis on them I'm not sure if there's any benefit from the segmented crown Morati vs the unicrown Ti P2.

Also got a Ti 1" steerer segmented crown fork with 28.6mm dia legs which is very similar handling to the Ti P2.
Not tried the Trimnells yet but those legs look very slender........

BTW I should point out that I'm a full fat Clydsdale rather than skinnny xc whippet which will accentuate any differences and the above are purely my own observations / experiences.

Thanks mr Caramba, info much appreciated

good to know. Exactly, how many stones are we talking here?

Had segmented Spicer/Sybex/XCAD forks. Let them go, very flexy not for my 14 stones weight ("I'm not fat just big boned"-Eric Cartman) They weren't too bad in handling but most scary part was when I've used front brake.
