    Berm peak aka Seth with the message fork, which is a interesting bit of
    kit, I think probably not designed for most people who will find it harsh
    as it appears to need to be ridden very hard, but interesting technology.

    Somewhat different in that it’s relatively simple leaf springs, seems to review well, at least in the Gravel space.

    FWIW, I think the Lauf fork is pretty hideous. It would have to perform significantly better and be significantly cheaper for me to consider it.

    I’m unconvinced in general with suspension on a gravel bike, or rather the cost/complexity/weight for 30/40mm of travel.
