The pinnacle of Enduro fork performance is now available in a Boost version. The exclusive Internal Floating Technology (IFT) gives the fork a previously unachievable level of smooth function while the Compression Tuning System (CTS) gives the rider a greater level of compression adjustment.
The Remote Cartridge Control (RCC) puts the high-speed compression control on the handlebars with its 13 positions from completely open to fully locked.
The stanchions use the Hexagon Design making the Selva stiff and reactive, creating huge gains in riding precision and reliability.
A strong fork, unequaled in its sensitivity for even the smallest bumps is available in 27,5”, 27,5” Plus and 29” with 120 - 180mm travel.
The Selva is the sum of all our suspension knowledge and your definitive weapon for Enduro.
IFT - Internal Floating TechnologyThe IFT (Internal Floating Technology) is what truly differentiates our forks from any other fork. Smoothness is very important in terms of suspension performance.
All forks, regardless of their stiffness, experience some kind of lateral stress while riding. This type of stress increases the friction of the internal parts.
Thanks to Formula’s design, our hydraulic cartridge is structurally merged with the stanchions and lower legs. In a riding situation, our internals compensate for the external stresses placed on the fork. This causes an incredible reduction of friction.
CTS - Compression Tuning SystemThe overall fork compression damping profile can be adjusted based on the rider’s needs by changing the CTS (Compression Tuning System).
This set of three valve heads change the compression rate from soft (gray), medium (blue), and firm (red).
Located under the low-speed compression knob, the valve heads are easily switched with a simple tool without losing fluid or needing to bleed the cartridge.
HEX - Hexagon DesignThe ability of a fork to resist flexing is a key factor for maximum riding precision.
A fork that rebounds too fast may make riding unsafe with an overall lack of control, above all when braking and cornering. In the same way, it is important that the fork is not too stiff, because it may make riding too tiring.
Many riders are skeptical about using boost because they fear the forks have too much flex and added weight.
When designing the Selva we had a fundamental aim in mind, finding the perfect balance point between stiffness and flex, this is the same as our standard forks.
Thanks to the Hexagon design, the natural flex of the fork has been dramatically decreased with this lightweight method. In this way, we have managed to combine the advantages of the standard boost with the stiffness of a traditional fork.
RCC - Remote Cartridge ControlThe high-speed compression is managed by our wide range lockout lever, located on top of the cartridge.
Our RCC (Remote Cartridge Control) is a handlebar mounted 13 position lever created put control in the hands of the rider.
Becoming a part of the cartridge, the RCC adjusts the high-speed damping from fully open to completely locked out. Its innovative design eliminates cables and hydraulic fluid; instead, the hose rotates with the movement of the lever changing the compression damping.
ILS - Integrated Locking SystemConnecting wheel to fork, we have the ILS (Integrated Locking System) 15mm thru axle, designed to take the guesswork out of wheel attachment.
Once tightened, the ILS lever is designed to be removed and reinserted at any position for perfect alignment with the fork lowers.
The ILS lever may also be removed and left behind during a ride for further weight savings on an already lightweight fork.
Instead of the standard lever, you can use the ILS Key Tool on your Integrated Locking System. The ILS Key Tool makes your thru-axle lighter and thanks to its design you get 2mm and 5mm allen key integrated in your fork.
ALTERNATIVE COLORSAlternative colors are available for a higher customization. In addition to black, our forks are available in two additional colors: Matt ULTRAVIOLET and Matt WHITE.
DECALSCustomize your fork with our Decals. The kits are available in two color versions: ULTRAVIOLET and STEALTH - compatible with all our forks.

Why is it so incredibly hard to find fork decals!? Like come on man! You are better off finding the Arc of the Covenant than having a fork manufacturer sell you decals for the forks they sell.
They probably have pallets full of stickers that go unused, they probably at lunch sit on 10 foot high stacks of unused fork decals. They are eating their peanut butter sandwiches laughing, manically laughing!! knowing that the stickers would make thousands of humans happy knowing that they would be able to refresh their forks with new stickers, but no, they refuse to make a profit by selling them to you because they know it would make you happy!
But anyway enough of the this sticker rant, nice forks.

and we saw some Rockshox Argyle like that with sticker kits and custom wrist sweat bands - very cool.
the big manufacturers can do it if they wanted, but considering many aftermarket boxed retail forks and complete bikes don't even come with a suspension pump.....
Really distracted from the fork itself...
and wait, and a lever so you can lock out high speed compression? Did I read that right? I can't imagine why one would ever want to do that
"LSC and LSR" not HSC. Lockouts should lock out LSC to work effectively. I understand not all suspension works this way, but it's ideal as presented by CC and Ohlins.
"Great idea Steve!"
The original version of Dante's quote:
"Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost."
Sounds like this:
"Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
Mi ritrovai in una selva oscura
che la diritta via era smarrita"
This is the incipit of the Inferno, and this is where the name Selva came from. Selva is the word for woods in old italian and other languages like spanish.
Cheers, Formula staff.
Dude, they even have a detail blowup Right There!
It's a line drawing of a hexagon that keeps everything lined up nice and flexibly stiff. (Not stiffly flexible mind you!)
They originally used a pentagram but for some reason the lowers kept melting...huh.
I will guess that they've made the lowers lighter and use a hex shaped axle to limit flex likesome USD (up side down) designs?
WFK (who f***ing knows)?
But seriously, just run a 27.5 fork if you have a 26. You get wicked tire clearance, and a fork to transfer on a new bike. You can even run a larger wheel up front like Zink does.

But maybe I just didn't see it between all the acronyms, what do the travel options translate to? 120-160 means that there are internal spacers are available to switch between different amounts of travel? So, what's different for the longer travel version, longer stanchions?
They will be my next pair of brakes.

My boosted 32 forks are way stiffer than any 15qr 32 I've used before.
Nevermind, i´m buying a Pike instead
Same comment though. This fork looks very promising. I hope the price can be right! I know the intricate parts are expensive to produce but I hope they can still be competitive
