The Acid fork is designed for hefty street riding. Investment cast drop outs and Sanko chromoly keep the forks strong. BSD kept the Acid fork weighing around 2.2 lbs which competes with all of the other forks designed for street riding. A lot went into making these some really reliable and affordable forks.
Price & Weight are comparative to how good the deal is.

Fork Geometry
A: Steerer Length: 157mm
This steer tube is just a little shorter than average. It might make your bars feel lower because the stack height of your stem will be lower.
B: Offset: 30mm
This is a more mellow feeling offset, giving you lots of control. Nose manuals will be harder to get into and steering will feel slow. This is good for a more controlled feel.
C: Dropout Size: 10mm
Designed for front wheels with a 10mm front axle. If your front axle is smaller than your rear, its 10mm.
Conclusion
If you like to ride street, and you need a fork to hold up to hefty riding… This is a good fork for you. BSD is known for backing some of the biggest riders in the street scene. The extra effort that they put into designing this fork really shows.

Writing this book was a huge goal for me. I spent a lot of time creating these 60 pages of goodness. In this book, I talk about how specs can influence your riding. For example…
Did you know how a short chain stay can make spins easier? Or how the reach of a stem can make bars or whips harder?. Check out the book to brush up on your bmx knowledge.
