The main interest of a rigid fork is its simplicity, making it very light. Because of its simplicity, it resists better to the torsion and thus offers a more direct trajectory control.

Another advantage: riding rigid fork, you need to get a more flexible riding style. It is the school of MTB riding.

Yes, riding with a rigid fork improves your style, as the rider learns to avoid or compensate the ground irregularities, to be lighter on the bicycle. With a suspension bicycle, one gets the habit of letting the suspension manage all this, and the material often suffers from this (punctures, rims damaged or even broken, etc).

La Dure, rigid fork, makes you enjoy the pleasure of riding on a simple and effective bicycle. No pumping-effect when you go up hill or in a sprint, lightweight, no maintenance, pure look of the bicycle, effectiveness on technical trails.
