There were two reasons really. The first was, as noted in the review, that I had the fork suspension adjustment set hard, so there was in fact only suspension action over the worst shocks, and then a very short movement.
The second was that the forks are substantially built with no slack in the sliders, this being the most common fault in bike forks.
So most of the time they were doing a very good imitation of being rigid forks, just acting as worst case shock absorbers.
For those who like a softer setting, I've no doubt they'd be amongst the better forks still, given the lack of slop in the sliders, but I personally don't like to cycle like that.
