It's a duc 32 which is a trail fork. They're a mediocre attempt at a really good idea - integrated steerers are much much stiffer than the ones you and I have on single crowns.

A light, dual crown 160mm USD fork with carbon uppers, ti nitride stanchions, Ohlins RXF derived internals and the technology from DVO or X-fusion (better yet, both) to deal with the USD forks inherently poor torsional rigidity...... would be THE ideal enduro fork.....it's a fork I'd actually be willing to spend 900+ quid on. Fox 34's aren't.

I'd pay more if someone sold such a shock in combination with a semi active rear shock.
