Poor quality picture but I noticed her backwards forks at Pal Arinsal this weekend.

I think the OP has just outed themselves as being under 50 🙂

If they were fitted backwards then the brake would be on the other side.

The current Fox 32 SC has the arch on the rear.

For the same reason that Mantou forks had the brake mount on the RH side.

It's a collaboration with Cotic.

Which was then fitted backwards.
