Again with forks, regardless of material, it comes down to geometry (just like frames). My old Bianchi’s fork has a minor swoop/ curve down by the wheel, which absorbs bumps with aplomb while my steel Fondriest has a straight carbon fork does not.

Similarly my carbon “endurance” frame with a relaxed geometry absorbs a fair amount of chip seal vibration while my racing frame carbon lets me feel every pebble - bless its sprightly heart.
