the telelever on the front took me a while to sort out.
it took even longer to get used to the anti-dive, but as many others have said, it can be an advantage on braking later & harder into corners.

for the type of riding i like, corners are where the fun is won or lost, and it's very rare to even see a lengthy straightaway at over 100 clicks.

i do miss the feedback of upside down forks. there's also a wider selection of internal do-dads that you can fiddle with, and you're not breaking trail in the process.

there's a lot going on in front fork suspension these days. air forks, single spring forks, magnetics and some different approaches to damping.

if they can just get rid of the front end dive under hard braking, i'd be a happy camper.
as it is, when i ride a conventional fork bike, i go home with sore wrists from the frequent forward weight transfer that you just don't get with the telelever.
