Berm peak aka Seth with the message fork, which is a interesting bit of
kit, I think probably not designed for most people who will find it harsh
as it appears to need to be ridden very hard, but interesting technology.

REminds me of Lauf:

Still in business....
 

 
Somewhat different in that it’s relatively simple leaf springs, seems to
review well, at least in the Gravel space.

 
FWIW, I think the Lauf fork is pretty hideous. It would have to perform
significantly better and be significantly cheaper for me to consider it.

I’m unconvinced in general with suspension on a gravel bike, or rather the
cost/complexity/weight for 30/40mm of travel.
