White, not Whyte. And if they say Black on them, they're Manitous. Black does not equal White

 

[Err]

Ok. Are they any good?

Depends on the exact model and vintage. These days they're not really up to the standards of the big guys, which is probably why they concentrate on niche stuff - if you want a 120mm through-axle fork for your 29er, they're the people to speak to ;-)

Cheers mike. I had wrongly assumed that the black forks were some sort of black white pun.
