| Nov 22, 2021 at 19:07 | comment | added | MaplePanda | @Ender The forks mattnz mentioned are downhill dual-crown forks, the strongest type available. High-end normal forks go down to 1300g in weight, but even the most budget-friendly forks I’d expect to be on a 1.6kg frame are like 2200g max. | |

| Nov 22, 2021 at 11:25 | comment | added | Grigory Rechistov | In my opinion, this question needs details about the bike/frame/fork, such as model/intended use/sizing etc. This is in order to understand what goal the TS tries to achieve. E.g. are we talking about an XC bike? Enduro bike, DH bike? MTB is a wide term. Is the TS trying to achieve the right goal with right tools? | |

| Nov 22, 2021 at 9:47 | comment | added | Ender | @MaplePanda It has been a long time but probably I got that frame on a bargain but as mentioned, I don't think the fork is absurdly heavy for suspension fork standards. | |
