Good idea and another re-emergence of faithful elastomers

But with 120mm+ suspension do you honestly need this ?

Yikes, they cost as much as a set of decent forks too.

Could be a good thing for those that just want a bit of dampening on casual single track or gravel paths but don't want to run a heavy(er) sus fork. Be good to see a ride review. Can see a problem with them moving independently and that feeling really weird. Definitely don't see them for off-road and certainly not downhill. And the $$$$! Wow.
I'm picturing an off-shore knock-off at 3 easy payments of just $19.99........BUT WAIT!......call now and receive a free pair of night vision riding glasses and a box of Wheaties signed by Alison Sydor!.....

Some people like expensive, makes them feel special. I should imagine, well hope, they weigh a bit less than a pair of forks though.

About 5x the price of the flexstem IIRC. Now that's inflation.

Titanium bars do decent job of reducing trail buzz.
