Backwards, but not
No, you’re not looking at the back of the fork. MRP just reversed the orientation of the arch. “Outcast” is the official name of the arch design.

“Some of our riders in the UK asked if there was a way we could keep mud from collecting in the back of the arch, so we reversed it,” said Noah Sears, MRP’s product and marketing manager.
In addition to the unique design, the Ribbon features a range of tech that should suit riders who enjoy the art of fine-tuning their suspension.
Rather than using a cartridge damper, MRP opted to use an internal floating piston. The Ribbon offers external rebound and compression adjustments with an eight-click range.
