links are used on outfits to aid stability and to make the steering lighter. not such an issue with a small light setup, but if youve ever tried steering a heavy outfit on teles then you will know what i mean. they also tend to resist dive on braking, which with teles makes the steering not what you want halfway through a bend. they also as has been said, resist twisting when the bike is cornering as all the suspension on a solo is only set up to work in one plane, up and down, so sideways forces tend to twist stuff out of shape more than with l/l forks.
links are just so much easier to set up than teles, though tele outfits can be tuned to handle reasonably well, its crucially when cornering with gusto and braking hard that their faults on an outfit become most apparent.
