As soon as these got to the Atomlab warehouse last night I stole one! This is the new G.I. 60 inverted suspension fork. 60mm of travel, and feels like a rigid, but suspends on those bigger hits when you need it most.

 i checked them out at inter bike and they were so sick...i just ordered mine on atomlabs dealer thing or whatever...cant wait to ride it...from what it sounds like they are super legit...
  • 20
 when i looked at it i wasnt sure if i liked it but now i looked in detail its sick!
  • 20
 very nice bike dude those new forks make it look sick
  • 20
 I think they look a little goofy with the 24" wheel, but the perform so well I'll probably never ride a different fork.
  • 10
 dude i fuckin hated 24s until this fork came out they look so sick with 24s, awesome bike man
  • 20
 Yeah, I actually just put on a set of the Pimp forks. Waay lighter.
  • 10
 Dude i am in love with your bike. It is so sexy man.
  • 10
 Hey do you like that fork at all. just want to know befor i buy one if it's an good.
  • 10
 Absolutely the best thing I've ever attached to the front of my bike!
  • 10
 Looks nice. Can't wait to hear some feedback. Can you move them at all with your weight alone?
  • 10
 Yeah, but very little. You get the feel of a rigid, but the impact of a soft fork.
  • 20
 www.atomlab.com, go look. I suppose I could, and then tell you, but I'm lazy like that.
  • 10
 Whats the difference between the pimp and G.I.? G.I. is 260, pimp is 350
  • 10
 oh cool, I'd pick up a pair with 100-120mm
  • 10
 I don't think they'll go that long. They are targeted at the dirt jumper. I believe there will be a max of 80mm.
  • 10
 My defintion of dirtjumping includes drops. lol. But I could make do with 80 I bet.
  • 20
 lookin at them i would think theyd be targeted at the street/park rider
suicidedownhiller theyde probly be stiff as f*ck anyway
i could be tempted in the future
nice bike Big Grin
  • 40
 Yes, they are stiff but still provide 60mm. Every dirt jumper knows you flow better with a rigid. That's why dirt/street/park riders always lower, stiffen up, and add max rebound to their forks. Most of them should just be on a rigid fork. This fork solves the problem all together. No complicated oil & air mixtures, unnecessary weight and million pieces to make them work. Yet, they perform exactly how you would want a lowered/stiffened suspension fork to work with a clean and simple design.

 Can you put some videos of you riding this? I'd like to "observe" and I'm considering this fork too..

Would 4x racing be appropriate with this? :p
  • 10
 i realy wouldent think theyd be ideal for 4x
  • 10
 Yeah, I think it would be just fin for 4X. In fact, I know I will be racing mine. It's 4X, the less travel you have, the more energy you can put into speed. 4x is basically bmx racing. No bmxers run suspension, and when they did 15 years a go, we only used 25mm of travel. I'll be posting some photos later tonight. I've only ridden some ramp at this point though.

 2 responses, 2 different votes.. No and a yes! The only thing I'm going nutz about is the 5.5lbs weight...
  • 10
 The Pimps are only 5lbs. You have to remember Suicide, that they are still suspension forks. 5lbs are still a full pound and a half lighter than Argyles, many pounds lighter than conventional suspension forks. I know they look like they should be a two pound fork like most rigids, but they aren't. It throws a lot of people off.
  • 10
 Well the Pikes are anywhere from 5-5.5 lbs
  • 10
 Haha yeah.. This fork is like a chuck of metal cnc'd and mill'd to a fork.. Heavy as Huck.

Argyles = 5.5lbs

I'm not really going nutz, I'm just disappointed that it's so heavy for a fork of this type.. It could be lighter.

And pikes feel awesome, so it's a trade off! But what about the GI/Pimp 60s?
  • 10
 The Pimps are 5lbs flat.
  • 10
 You're bike looks nice man. That leaning towards what I am hoping to build.
  • 10
 Right on, let me know if you ned help with parts or anything. I always have things lying around.
  • 10
 swet. I will let you know when I am ready.
  • 10
 I would like that prototype fork. Looks like it should go on a rat rod bike. Let me know if you wanna sell it.
  • 10
 This one is a production, but I do have a prototype sitting here I might get rid of. When I find out, I will let you know. Gotta make sure Atomlab does not want it back first.
  • 10
 I may be giving my bike away in a web contest that starts on Nov. 1st. So keep checking PLUSSIZEBMX.COM for details. Nico Cassaramona will also be giving up his personal custom DMR bike as well!
  • 10
 Hell yeah! That's whats up! When does this information get posted online?!
  • 10
 The 1st of the month.
  • 10
 alright when are these things going to be shipped to all distributors...i know the pimps well be a bit late...
  • 10
 The G.I.'s that were bought at Atomlab.com have already been shipped out. Distributors will get them during the weeks between Eurobike and Interbike. Eurobike is next Monday. So both the Pimps and the G.I.'s will be sent to the distro's between the 7th, and the 17th.

 Thats kwl wat do u do for them atsacly team rider or parts tester or wat?
but it looks very kwl.
  • 10
 o yea wat r those atomlab brakes like cause im just about to get a set?
  • 10
 I ride full factory for DMR. I also rid for Dirty Dog MTB, and Kali Protectives. Which brake are you talking about? The hydraulic, or the mechanical?
  • 10
 looks like a super bike of street
  • 10
 They don't look real in this picture.
  • 10
 I don't get it. They look fake?
  • 10
 Yeah, they look so perfect and new that they don't look real. lol
  • 10
 have your wrists sent you a thank you card yet?
  • 10
 a 24" version would be nice
  • 10
 It is. 24" and 26" forks are exactly the same. No fork manufacturers make 24" suspension. Accept the Marzocchi D-Street. Even that fork was a 26" and has the same specs as the Dj2. Only difference is the bridge was lowered for a 24" wheel.

As a result, the frame companies build 24" frames around a 26" fork. Usually an 80mm travel fork. The only 24" specific fork you are going to get anywhere are from BMX companies, and are made to fit a BMX bike. Running them on a 24" MTB will result in poor geometry and the bike will handle awfully.

This fork simply just looks longer because there is no bridge.
  • 10
 24 could be better braced
  • 10
 What do you mean?
Braced with what?
  • 10
 I havee to get me a set of them for my static!
  • 10
 is that a dmr revolver back hub?
  • 10
 Yes, I ride for DMR so everything is either DMR or Atomlab.
  • 10
 well do u no if the dmr revolver hub fits a 13t driver?
  • 10
 ur wats the smallest size freewheel that would fit on it
  • 10
 Yes it does, I believe it comes with either a 12 or 13 tooth driver. On this bike I am running a 9 tooth.
  • 10
 whats that thing on your bar by the stem?
  • 10
 That's my light. Ride a bike in LA at night without one, and you'll get a $250.00 ticket, and sometimes your bike impounded. So I just keep one on because I never know how late I'll be out riding.
  • 10
 waw that really sucks. hate to be a weight wennie in LA
  • 10
 Not sure I follow you. each one weighs less than on of my house keys.
  • 10
 i know people that take the plastic caps off their pedels to save the "un-needed waight"
  • 10
 Yeah.....that's just plain dumb. I've seen idiots ride without their stem bolts, and take their crank arm bolts of on pinch arms. RETARDED.
  • 11
 your raw ones looked better tbh
  • 10
 I like the white. Matches my spokes and brakes.
  • 10
 sick sick.
  • 10
 still lovin your bike!
  • 10
 holy crap awsome
