The one in the Roam is the NEX so yeah I'm sure it's better than the dual suspensions that come on the target bikes. I watched a video before I bought it where they had a gopro mounted right behind the fork so you could watch it while he road on different surfaces. It barely moved unless there was a bump. It was what convinced me that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
I was doing the Creve Couer Lake loop yesterday evening and noticed a single track running off the trail so I followed it along a 'creek' (more like a tiny river) for a little ways and found a whole other lake with it's own loop. It's little things like this that make me so glad I went with the Roam.
