The "ride" of a carbon fork is BETTER than that of an aluminum fork ...BUT, if the bike has FAT tires where the max tire pressure is below 85PSI, then you may not notice a difference.
The "ride" of a carbon fork is the SAME/(no better than) as that a good steel fork BUT a carbon fork will make the bike lighter by about a pound (or, more).
