97kgs limit.

I avoided the Exotic one at 120KG, instead going for a Whippet and their own carbon fork, which is I believe a relatively standard Chinese made item.

Handled my riding and everything I threw at it easily. Even with skinny tyres, I gave it a bit of a bashing and it didn't break. Granted I'm wheels on the ground, but even so.

That bike has been sold but now have a Sonder Camino with their carbon forks and even skinnier 45mm tyres. That too is holding up well to some off road abuse.

So there are forks out there for us lardies, just have to be careful selecting them I suppose.
