This fork is a fantastic upgrade for you'r dh rig. Expensive yes. But there is some used bargains here and there. I came from a fox 40 float to this thing. And noticed a huge difference in how the bike felt. No arm pump that the f40 gave me. The emerald follows the terrain superbly and gives you good ground grip. Hi and lo speed adjustment does exactly what you whant it to do ( if you are familiar on how it works) I can not say i notice any fork flex. Even in rockgardens. So for a inverted fork i am impressed. This is due to the carbon guards that help to stiffen up the bottom of the fork. Very active fork. And it looks just mint on the bike. Really likes the big look of it. I cant stand skinny looking forks like the boxxer. When dialled in correctly this is a serious contender. Hopefully production of this fork in the future becomes cheaper so the retail price goes down. So more people can start riding it. As this fork is on the top list of best forks out there performance wise. And another fantastic thing is. You can buy every part for this fork at the dvo homepage if needed. No buying via dealer.

DVO is short for “Developed Suspension” and represents the mindset we have to engineer, design, and deliver fully developed suspension products that are 100%. The Emerald is an absolute example of that. A combination of everything we've ever wanted in a DH fork, this is going to change the suspension game.
Specifications Compare to other Forks
| Release Date | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $2,300 | |
| Weight | Without CTA 2900g CTA 300g g | |
| Color Options | Green, Black | |
| Travel | 203 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 | Dual | |
| Rebound | 30 Clicks |
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 | Aluminum | |
| Steer Tube | 1.5 | |
| Damping | Twin Tube |
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 | 20mm | |
| Compression | Bottom Loader Compression System. High & Low Speed Adjust |
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.
