9/20/2026 8:59am Can confirm today that the stanchions are indeed 32 mm. They say it's enough, given the USD design and the fact that it has a floating bushing which increases the bushing overlap during compression. Can also confirm that they actually have stock, and the fork will definitely become available to the public shortly (after a few years of teasing).

You can see it in action on our IG feed if you're not allergic to social media 😀I don't know exactly what's in it, it wasn't very "notchy" per se but the movement was indeed a bit uneven at times. Stop and start kinda thing, but there didn't appear to be much in the way of nasty stiction at least.

9/19/2026 12:55pm But the news is that nearly one year after that news, it's still news... ;-) This has indeed been teased for quite some time, but it really sounded like it's actually going to happen now. We'll see I guess.
