Plastic rod and gears on the lockout mechanism look pretty cheap

There's now an official distributor for Trust in Australia.

MTB Direct have the first fork off the shelves as of today.

How would you know when the first one shipped?

Nothing on their website - I'd say they are too scared to advertise the price. "POA"

Let's just say I was in the right place at the right time.

AU RRP is a bit over 3k.

That’s a Banshee frame with a Lyrik... tough choice.

Haha, I suppose that depends on your definition of tough.

They're certainly a sight to behold in the flesh.
Very interesting, if strange looking fork.

Curses. If I actually hit my weight target last xmas I was going to get a first release. I guess you can be the crash test dummy.

What did the rider think of it?

said it was good, did not really get much of a chance to speak to him, he was racing and i was a marshal,
also said everyone was asking WTF it was, only myself and a bike mechanic knew what it was exactly

Sounds like a good fork for people wanting to go fast rather than be comfortable.

My curious question, how much would you pay to test it for a weekend? I've been asking this question, and I admit I'd pay more than I should to have a crack.
