Yo guys.. from talking with the boys at HGB the Dorado is that price for a couple of reasons...It is going to be a dealer direct product which means you will get a customs spec build on your fork and it will be set up direct from the factory to your riding style and such so each fork will be totally custom. Also it sounds like it will come with a killer warranty. That means if your at a race and you own one of these they will service it, set it up and spit polish it and then spank your bum with a "good game" and send you back on the course.So basically it come with factory support.
