A lot of it has to do with how much material you have at the drop out area. You can have a 20mm axle but if the interface between the drop out and leg is spindly you will have flex. We choose to add more material at the drop out and go with a thicker15mm axle. Cheers, dvo.
Yup! We will have high speed and low speed plus shims on both the rebound/mid valve and compression valve. No 3 position generic settings for us! Cheers, dvo.
We have a stiffer magnesium casting with more material around the drop out area and on the fork legs, this provides a stiffer structure than a 20mm axle would provide. Plus, we won't make a spindly thin axle that will flex.
Thanks guys! We can say our first order of expertise is designing and engineering suspension and when you have awesome products the marketing comes naturally.
Goddamn, the marketing and hype around these has been nuts. I don't really ride gravity, and I don't own a DH bike. Hell, my main ride is a rigid SS. But I want one. I don't have a bike to put it on, but I want one.
Hey Hooters, NS Dynamics will be our distributor in Aussie and forks should be there within the next month! Thanks again and hope to have ya as a customer soon! Cheers, DVO
Thanks buddy! We will definitely keep that in mind when working on the long travel 29" fork, if we go with an inverted design it will definitely have a 20mm axle. Hope to have ya as a customer soon and we will make sure you are 100% supported! Cheers, DVO
Thanks a ton for your awesome words! We are stoked to have you as a proud owner of the Emerald, we will make sure you are happy with our products with 100% support from the DVO team! Thanks again, DVO!
Dave, we plan on getting the new Diamond out around April of next year, hopefully that fits into your window so you don't have to buy a Pike! We will keep everyone informed via our FB on exactly when the Diamond will be ready for production. Cheers, DVO!
Of course we do! Balance between the front and rear is really important (to us at least) and we will have a high performance enduro style race shock to match the Diamond 160. Cheers, DVO
Its good to hear what people like and don't like, we have our ideas on what to make but its important to have everyone's feedback and blend the two together! Its amazing that companies don't pay more attention to what people are saying or complaining about, we will always be in touch with our customer base! Cheers, DVO
Thanks buddy, definitely going to have some great tuning help available as well as service info for everyone. We gotta keep the big boys on their toes! Cheers, DVO
