Lets talk about modern conventional forks...

[robertaccio]

Add on, I had a 98 KTM250 with the WP 50mm conventional forks. I had them dialed in from Factory Connection, they were excellent at eating rocks even in corners at lean angles under loads.
Add on my ex 97 Suzuki RM125 had those Showa conventionals on it, they too were very very nice in the trail/offroad world and in the time to time MX track mode as well.
IMHengineeringO go as light as possible everywhere, just adjust the system for the lightness. Lightness reacts faster, if its deflecting that can be a function of spring rate and of getting the oil to blast through valving faster. Keep it lighter and dial in spring rate and oil flow. my tuppence
