DKCustoms front fork intimidators
Anyone tried these? I am not too crazy on making my front stiff like I am reading what is happening with new front cartridges. Eliminating dive but keeping close to same feeling would be preferable for me for the front. This seems like a great solution. Thoughts?

But that's not to say these won't do the trick. And for the cost. Worth a try.
Just trying to describe the cartridges in a different way.

Pro-Action Fork Kit
I think for $125.00 bucks more your money is much better spent here:

Watch their video on them. Shouldnt make your front end stiff like a race bike because you switch to a lighter weight fork fluid and thats what the valve does. A little difficult to understand and the repeat a few things in the video, but as I understand it, its basically a check valve for up travel that increases the dampening ( which slow the brake dive) but on faster and larger bumps to maintain the best ride the valve opens to allow a faster compression.

Interested observer here, I'll be watching this thread.
Looking at Bitubo for the rear of my '16 UC and not sure what to do with the front.

This product *might* explain why DK Customs doesnt carry the Bitubo front cartridges.
After purchasing a pair of the rear Bitubo shocks from DK I inquired about availability of Bitubo front fork cartridges, but they didnt mention these Intimidators in the email reply.
