But Nick don't you know, carbon is lighter and therefore obviously lighter than Alu. And all carbon manufacturing techniques haven't improved at all.
Carbon can be a viable material, it's not the brittle, impact susceptible material it used to be (well not to the same extent).
As Luke said wait for a few "normal" riders to give them a go and see how they do. If they don't try then the sport can't progress. Alu forks have gone as pretty much as far as they can.
