My Matthews has a "French curved" disc fork, ie tight low bend, and a lot of it. Seems to work fine. I don't know if the curve helps smooth the ride, but overall the bike is noticeably more smooth over small high frequency bumps than was the Fargo. Of course, light road tubing throughout compared to the massive stoutness of the Fargo.
