Formula Release Yoke Mount Compatible Mod Coil Shock
@JudyYellow: Riders, including ourselves, love coil shocks. With more bike manufacturers moving to a yoke/clevis mount design, suspension brands like ourselves and Cane Creek are working on ways to combine the two. We're happy there are more options for riders to choose from.

Formula Release Yoke Mount Compatible Mod Coil Shock
Forgive the blatant copy and paste from elsewhere in the comments but it's a popular question. Options for a coil shock on a yoke mount frame are limited, this version of the Mod gives people a choice. We'd love to be able to have the same 200 hour intervals as the standard Mod, but right now that's not possible. We'd rather be upfront and honest about things like reliability.

Formula Release Yoke Mount Compatible Mod Coil Shock
Any reason? We've been using alloy shafts on the Mod and Mod DH on all kinds of bikes, including e-bikes, and not had a problem.

Formula Release Yoke Mount Compatible Mod Coil Shock
@Bmitchell35: And for that, we apologise. There's some secret sauce stuff going on inside the shock that the engineering team are very proud of but they also don't want to say too much about it.

Formula Release Yoke Mount Compatible Mod Coil Shock
@fanikx: Yup. Material is not the issue here. Yoke mounts put a lot of stress on a shock, fine for an air shock with its large diameter body and shaft but any coil will struggle. We've worked out a way to improve things but service intervals have to come down to keep things working as they should.

Formula Release Yoke Mount Compatible Mod Coil Shock
The suspension department are being cagey on the exact kind of pixie dust, sorry, engineering being employed, but they've confirmed the shaft diameter and material are the same as the standard Mod.
We'd push them further on it but the espresso machine is in their room and they are threatening to cut off our supply.

First Ride: Formula's New Josh Bryceland Edition Selva Fork
@p0rtal00: Right now the only way to get the stickers is on the forks. Maybe in the future though.

First Ride: Formula's New Josh Bryceland Edition Selva Fork
@FuzzyL: Not necessarily. One of the things Josh really liked about the custom valve was that he could drop 5psi from his fork pressure, giving him lots of feel early on in the travel. Sure, things ramp up significantly towards the end of the travel but he found even on more mellow trails he was getting the benefit of more grip and more stability.
It's not going to be for everyone, as Kaz found, but it's more usable than you'd expect.

First Ride: Formula's New Josh Bryceland Edition Selva Fork
The Selva is a versatile fork. It can be run at 170mm, like Josh's, all the way down to 120mm, where having the option to run 160mm rotors makes sense. All use the same fork lowers.
Set up costs for a new fork lower come in at about half million euro, so making a change is a huge expense.
