The brake manufacturer now makes forks, and what forks they make. This one is their best fork ever. This fork is comparable to other forks in the market. It’s air sprung with an oil damper cartridge, external rebound control and lockout knob. The most noticeable feature is the Double Arch Design, which increases overall stiffness and improves wheel tracking. There no weight penalty at 3.3 lbs.
On the surface there’s a welcome lack of knobs and dials. You’ve got the usual rebound adjuster at the base of the right leg. Air goes in at the top of the left leg and there’s a lockout on the right with the option of attaching a remote lever. It’s all efficiently executed, simple and easy to live with. Once you’re on the go there’s little urge to play with it unless you like messing around with lockout levers and knobs. The high quality and overall feel of the fork is one that is built to last rather than require thoroughbred pampering you often undertake with more delicate race forks.
The blue dial is for lockout only and there is an option of a bar mounted remote control lever. This is far better made than Magura’s earlier levers but we don’t really see why you’d want to lock out a fork like this anyway. The disc calliper attaches to a post mount and will take a 6” discs. Forward facing safety dropouts sit at the base of each leg. |
