Just wondering if adding 800g is is worth it for the added comfort.
I guess I’d have to actually ride it to see though.
missed above reply. That’s what I needed to hear
But there really won't be "added comfort" - suspension is to soak up big hits and keep the tires in contact with the ground as much as possible over rough terrain - none of this is relevant to road cycling, regardless of how rough the road surface is. A suspension fork will give you added energy-sapping bobbing, weight and complexity.
