Is there any performance improvement/difference? Ride or handling and such like? Or were they just a production rationalisation, ie cheaper to produce?

they are gp stem length .. so its cut yer li down or extend stem .. the bitubos are perpose made for this type of fork .. as they are coil over type there is no need or indeed any where it put internal springing
