More forking around

The real headline here is that this is
1) a "real" fork, with all the internal features of a good MTB fork, air spring with adjustable pressure, and possibly stroke, shim valve cartridge damper with separate compression and rebound circuits, and it looks like they have put the effort in to adjust the volume to tune the air spring the way they want, not just stack it up with existing parts
b) it's road standard axle and brake (the Fox entry was a shortened MTB fork with 15mm axle and post mount brakes)

The air spring sure looks like the style found in up-to-Gold forks, which means it equalizes when everything in the negative side stacks up. Travel would be adjusted with spacers/tokens in between the positive piston and negative seal head. This is also off-piste, they are advertising it with only one travel setting.
