I agree. My ZS200GY-2 has aluminum forks, and I much prefer them.

How much of the inner fork tube do you estimate is exposed? If 4 inches is exposed, the total fork travel is probably 5.12 inches. However, if 5 inches is exposed, the total fork travel is probably the conventional, 6.5 inches. However, I'm assuming the fork travels all the way to the bottom, and that isn't necessarily true.

Except for the bottom portion, these forks look very similar to my ZS200GY-2 forks. Do you think Zongshen designed new forks with reduced travel for the RX3?
