What is the benefit of a dual crown fork?

More compression damping means more hydraulic resistance, so the shock or fork will feel firmer. Crown: The brace that holds a fork’s stanchions in place. Single crown forks are found on most mountain bikes. Dual-crown forks, which are stiffer and more suited to longer-travel bikes, are mostly found on downhill bikes.

Can you put dual crown fork on Enduro?

If the frame isn’t specifically built for long-travel forks, then the geometry of the bike will be dysfunctional and the head tube can literally rip off the frame.

What is the advantage of a Lefty fork?

What is a dual-crown watch?

no. you can usually get a crown race off by using a flat flat flat head screwdriver and slowly prying each side up. you do need to use alot of force to put it on a new fork though, usually shops have a special kind of tube that fits over the steerer tube and allows them to punch it down hard.
