N'dee a single crown d'Idylle. It's a short description, but a good summary !

N'dee shares the same lowers than the two Idylle forks, but using a single crown, which means that it's lighter (minus 300 grammes from Idylle), with an openned bath cartridge, adjustable in compression and rebound.

The height remains the same, with 180 mm travel..

As you can see it's a real light DH fork.

You can imagine it on a small or light DH bike, and plan to use it on real DH tracks, as it shows a very good stifness, precise handling, and the same hydraulic performance than Idylle.

Features
Hydraulic fork
with openned bath cartridge.
Travel : 180mm
adjustments : compression / rebound.
Spring + preload on left side.
Air bleeding screw on top of the stanchions
Upper legs : alu 7050 - ø 36mm
Lower legs : magnesium
Crown : alu 6061 forged + CNCed.
Headset : 1"1/8
Axle : ø 20 mm.
Postmount IS
Weight : 2950 g

More information here. They aren't available yet so prices aren't available/have't been announced but they probably won't be too much cheaper than their ~$3000 bigger brother... However, rumor has it that pricing will be competitive...

Here, in France, the BOS N'Dee is sold at 1349 €. That's 2.277,79 canadian dollars or 1.841,33 US dollars If you get in France. It's just so you can imagine the price it will be the other side of the atlantic (don't forget transport + taxes). There all the french prices : http://www.bos-engineering.com/pdf/2009MTB-PUBLIC-FR.pdf

There is no internet site that sell them because when you buy one, BOS will adapt the suspension settings to your bike and riding style. For BOS there no universal setting therefor every customer has a special suspension.

anyone here possess a set of these forks who has rode totems and 36 Van RC2s? I'm after a comparison for consideration of getting a set of these (lowered to 160mm) to replace a set of Float 36 Rs

I bought a set of N'Dee in Morzine this summer. They are by far the best fork i've ever ridden. My previous forks where 36 Van Rc which were nice but not a patch on BOS. In my opinion they are worth the money i spent. The bike tracks beautifully and feels planted in corners, roots etc
