You often get "odd" models come up as the factory switches over from one model to the next - they use a "Just In Time" sourcing practise for parts, so if they have a set of forks fail, they may well rob a set from a higher spec model that is in the next production run and backfill that instead of waiting for a replacement set to arrive.

We've seen it many times at the factory with things like shocks, forks, brake calipers, etc!
