Just returned from a trip to Thredbo. What a place!!! Motion performs beyond my expectation on the steep hills. Anti-dive does work and totally compose all the way down.
Thanks! For road riding, I ride a recumbent 700C bike. So quite use to being the weird one among the cycling peers. They aren't surprised with my choice of fork when I got the Motion :D.
Good question. I need to ride more (and a bit faster - taking it easy on adapting stage) to answer this question better. Few times, the front wheel had done minor skid which I haven't come across with telescopic forks. It hasn't translated to instability for sure. I think my riding style will...
Finished the maiden ride. The antidive definitely will need sometime to get used to. Where you expected the fork to compress, this doesn't and you are still sitting pretty high up. I agree with many of the reviews I read, the fork is very supple. Chatters became muted and the damper works...
Fitted and ready for trails this morning. WTF!!! (What the FORK). No doubt the look won't be liking to the masses. I am the weird one and think it looks awe-full (full of awesome!). Riding around the neighbourhood, the anti-dive works like a charm and no front compression even with hard braking...
Finally landed, after being stung by GST and clearance fees. DHL charged clearance fees more than the GST itself!
Arrived reasonably well packed from France. I went for the Fire Edition as they have run out of the black decals version. Fork is 27.5+/29er at 150mm travel. Travel is...
Creak was the highlight of yesterday's ride. Thought I sorted it. Happened only when I put power on pedal uphill. It was emitting from the single pivot point. Otherwise quiet with cruising speed.
After the ride, I decided to disassemble the pivot. Thanks to the split bearings frame, they were...
Sorry. Yes, this one here:

No, it's mine to keep for the consumer beta tester. I think 3 frames were allocated for that. The professional reviewers will have to hand to next reviewer after they are done. Obviously those reviewers are in Europe.
Took it out on a maiden ride at Wedding Bell forest. Just off the Pacific Highway at Arrawarra Junction. If you are on your way to Brisbane from Sydney, make sure you stop by. You will be rewarded with exhilarating rides. Such a fun trail park.
Void is just rad! The longer wheel base in...
