![]() | The AWK-supported air spring offers coil spring feel at air spring weight. Because of the almost linear characteristics the fork can be ridden at a lower pressure level. This remarkably increases sensitivity at fast track sections and improves feedback on berms and takeoffs. |
![]() | The hanger we've designed is better than existing wheel hanging options for a number of reasons. First, it offsets the wheels so the hubs and skewers are out of one another's way, which means they can lie parallel to the wall, out of the way. It protects your wheels by getting them up off the ground, and the wheels rest on a soft pad to guard against possible scratches. It also looks, well, good. Way better than a hook from the hardware store - which won't even work if you've got deep dish, aero wheels. The Offset looks at home whether it's mounted in a hallway, office, or a garage. It's made of sturdy aluminum, and is super easy to install (it even fits on pegboard). |
![]() | Charlie says... This is a wonderful locally produced vegan chamois balm/bum butter. It's not really made from vegans but simply does not offend them. However, if you like being offended, just ask and we will look after that for you. |

Looks like the bike industry is being more upfront and honest
I assume it has a check valve that once the initial pressure builds under compression, the check valve opens, and releases into the AWK.
But....that's just a guess.

onemind123, as you pointed out, it looks similar to the mattoc's IRT system, i found the manitou guide on it here (PDF):
www.manitoumtb.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IRT-Details.pdf
which also looks similar to Manitou's MARS air (which i think they're discountinuing this or last year along with the Manitou Minute Fork), where you had both a spring and a coil. the coil engaged first, and then once there was enough pressure on the air chamber, it began to compress as well. though i believe that system is more progressive, and designed more for coil-like small bump compliance.
Because it's not going to ramp up as much.
