| Color Options | Diffusion Silver, Diffusion Black (AM) | |
| Travel | 110-140 mm |
Travel - refers to the distance the wheel can move in respect to the frame. Typically measured in millimeters, most forks range from 80 to 203 mm of travel
|
| Spring | Coil | |
| Crown | Single | |
| Body Type | Magnesium, Maxle 360 20mm, IS disc mount | |
| Rebound | External Rebound |
Rebound - is how quick your fork returns to a fully extended position after being compressed. Almost all after-market forks feature external rebound adjustment for easy fine tuning.
|
| Stanchion material | 32mm 7000 series straight wall Aluminum, low friction anodized with travel gradients | |
| Steer Tube | 1.125 | |
| Damping | Motion Control |
Damping - The process of absorbing the energy of impacts transmitted through the forks or rear shock during the compression stroke, and absorbing the energy of the spring during the rebound stroke.
|
| DropOut Options | Maxle | |
| Compression | Low speed compression to 'Lock', external Floodgate |
Compression - This is the damping circuit that absorbs the compression energy force on the damper. Compression damping is used to adjust how quickly a fork or rear shock compresses when hitting a bump, and is adjustable on some products. When compression damping is too soft, this condition allows most of the available travel to be used without attaining control of the wheel. When it's adjusted too firmly, the wheel will jump or "dance" about when hitting small bumps, again failing to gain control of the wheel.
