I am curious, what is the verdict on the inverted forks on these chinese bikes. They sure do look good, but are they even any better than the standard forks that come on the Hawk/Enforcer?

Both can be good but the reason for inverted forks was less under hang below the axle and when get you into ruts that are deeper than the bottom of the forks and it causes deflection when you scrub more on one side. Maybe I should I have said ejection.

The under hang on the Hawk is so small that it is not a problem. I remember when leading axle front forks was something you bragged about.

I had a question. Has anyone here ever taken apart the forks on the Brozz or any of the chinese bikes that have similar style forks?

Another question that i thought of. Has anyone put the wheels from a Hawk/enforcer on a Brozz? While i would do mostly road riding, there are a few offroad~ish areas i want to go thru. Also it would be nice to be able to ride out to my friends farm. Lots of offroad opportunities there.

Also, how much ground clearance and suspension travel does the Brozz and Hawk/enforcer have?
