CONCLUSION The X-Fusion Sweep, which only costs 699, is the surprise in the test field. It responds very well and can be effectively adjusted in high and low-speed compression thanks to the new damper cartridge, which provides plenty of counter-pressure despite the rather flat characteristic curve. It is also one of the lightest forks in the comparison, albeit with low stiffness.
