It would be nice to have a remote lockout and negative damping but apart from that you can't fault this fork on 5" of super plush unbelievably light weight travel. The front end of my bike is feather light thanks to these babies!

The XMC forks allow you to build a speedy racebike as well as a comfortable All-Mountain bike. Lower weight and increased stiffness are the traits that make the XM components so versatile. Long climbs are easily conquered with the fork locked and lowered, while all the plush travel makes the descent a joyride.
Specifications Compare to other Forks
| Price | $1,351 | |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | 1600 g | |
| Travel | 130 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 | Air | |
| Crown | Single | |
| Rebound | Yes |
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 | 32 mm Alu Black Anodized | |
| Steer Tube | 1.125 | |
| Damping | Open Oil Bath,Negative Spring |
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 | Regular QR | |
| Compression | Yes/Threshold Launch Control System |
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.
