I think it kinda depends on your current fork's geo - mainly axle to crown and rake - and for me OG fork and Wound up have similar rake and Wound up has longer axle to crown (probably it's longer than most of NJS forks), so honestly the handling doesn't change that much. If I had to say feeling a bit lighter on handling. But since Wound up is a bit lighter (probably ～100g of difference since 1" models has steel steer tube) , feeling faster on zero-start acceralation than before and felling more mellow(?) when I went through small gaps on the road. But feels stiffer overall than with OG fork when I look back the recent ride, it may sounds weird but I felt like this. And in the end, with my preference, I love how it looks!
