The performance of the damper are not even comparable with the regular forks. after you ride this fork you start thinking that the other fork damping doesn’t work. that said you can bet that this design relies on a out of ordinary dampening control. The negative coil and the balance with the preload pressure inside the cartridge has to be set up after a conversation with the manufacturer on a person to person basis. obviously a self regulating negative air spring doesn’t require it and it is going to be good for a huge variety of riders. Bright gives to...

Pablo, thanks for your reply. Story about PB seems typical for them even before being taken by outside.

😂

Cheers I am actually begging Pablo to make me one to put on my dh lol. I am really curious to see how it would perform against a fox40 back to back. soon enough we will see a bright dual crown❤️

I love it too Thank you for the awesomely unbiased review. We need more of those. I remember I have seen your bike in whistler, I was the one with the red/carbon custom bright on the yeti 160e. you probably noticed that as well lol

My personal experience: Where do I start…. well let's start by saying that in making this choice I had to “force” myself against everything I thought to be true. After having ridden with traditional forks, and even after having ridden 6 months with the fox40/190, following Pablo advice and going down to a 150 was a psychological stress 😰. I received the fork and at 110 kg of dressed weight I immediately made the mistake of trying to adjust the fork using the experience I have gained on fox over all these years. The consequence is that I went out...

My personal experience as driver and tester: Reset your brain and think with open mind. It's a fork that change the behaviour of the bike. I know that the "zero sag" idea it's difficult to accept in the moment. But trust me that it really is. The lowering of the fork is imperceptible and the response to the stresses of the ground are managed in an exceptional way in order to have maximum response and the possibility of copying the ground on small bumps at high speeds, in order to keep the structure stable. For the setting, maximum trust is...

The emperor has new clothes.

dear dirty booger, Thanks for the question.. This article was done, to my pleasure, by someone (@one ghost) who has been using the fork for a long time and has been attentive to our set up information (ultimately not that complicated, the Bright RS is a very adaptable to the end) and was very open and intrigued from the start. If a company that spends so much money on design and research gives you directions and tells you that you can't use a fork like this as you would use a cheap production one, if a company like this recommends...

More tech info and a much less glowing review from PB. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/review-bright-racing-shocks-f929-next-inv… I wonder if the "negative" spring has been modified in this version like Pablo was talking about in the PB review and if there were any other changes? What pressure were you running and did the fork want to top out when lifting the front end up @One Ghost ?

hello mscofield4, we are working for this, but I can tell you that as an Atelier company our strength is precisely being able to give after-sales support to each individual customer who is always supported also with material such as videos and spare parts. Furthermore, the F929 (the name of this particular USD project) was designed precisely on the need to guarantee a very easy maintenance. Just think about the fact that to remove the stems from the structure and be able to replace the gaskets and guide bushings you only need a screwdriver and bare hands. The Bright RS...

Exatlty the same thing that i was thinking. I have olso the trust the message! https://youtu.be/scCBU2SucIg

"I never got along too well with Horst link bikes because they have always been too playful for me. They like to go fast, but they also like to pop up and out of corners and prefer to leave the ground much more than I do. Traction is only good when you are on the ground." That is a huge generalization. Many people have complained about many Horst-link bikes are being boring and too planted and hard to get into the air. It's not the suspension layout (horst or whatever) that you don't like, it's the specific design and intention...
