A couple of notes to consider. Spring Rate. Yes, you're in the camp of riders that we developed the Sub Chamber system for. The V2 Sub Chamber is 100% backwards compatible with that fork. Chassis. This is a tricky one as the the front hub plays a significant role in how the chassis performs. This is why there's such a broad range of rider feedback in regards to stiffness with inverted forks. My guess is that FOX didn't want to roll the dice with this variance, which is why they committed solely to the 20mmx 110 boost configuration. Our recommended...

Unfortunately not yet, other than in the driveway. There are a few other projects to take care of first, but soon! There are some slight updates between forks; the brake hose guide is now a compression molded carbon piece instead of simply being cut from a carbon plate, and the rebound knob is bigger and easier to turn. Compared to the Edge, the Flash crown is larger and has more overlap on the legs.

Yes it sounds like you have a leaking negative spring. There shouldn't be a large amount of pressure in there at all, there might be the faintest hiss from the fork being assembled fully extended and compressed down, or from huge changes in temperature/altitude but what you describe is a leaking spring, especially the way it felt almost locked out

Another follow up. I have now had this fork on a few rides. I texted cornelius once again about the small bump sensitivity and i got a very quick reply again. This fork was laying around for quite a while and he advised me tho loosen up the screw on the top of the air side and move the stanchions. Apparently there was fairly much air traped and it neede to go. Ever since i did this, the fork has been flawless and got a very nice small bump performance. Im very veryhappy with the purchase, lets just hope it...

No tax/tariff charges on this side, $140 in shipping/paypal/parcel fees from Intend and took 8 days to get from Germany to Colorado. But you never know these days......

Paper products from Germany can only mean one thing, new fork day! This is the Intend Flash 35, it can be run from 160mm to 190mm. Very similar to the Edge; but with a more robust crown, longer legs, and slightly different uppers. After initial riding and then a full tear down and inspection, there will be some parallel testing with a 35mm Boxxer. Both forks will be run at 190mm of travel on a DH bike. The capability of the 170mm inverted forks at Angel Fire was so impressive that a direct comparison of a longer travel version to...

The "weeping" from the windows of the crown is not very common, and mostly traced to customers who pressure wash their bikes. They stopped pressure washing, and we stopped seeing a problem. As for this specific fork, it could be residue from assembly, or it could be other factors. In each case, it's a temporary factor that, if cleaned, goes away. This is something we didn't experience in testing over the years, but it is something that we have seen in a handful of customer forks. We were able to recreate it here in our test lab via several experiments...

The PUSH Industries Nine.One Specifications 150mm-170mm travel (10mm steps), 36mm stanchions, bushing overlap 145mm, coil sprung, 15mm floating axle, pneumatic bottom out control, weight 2960g, Chassis The 9.1 crown is large with massive overlap on the 44.5mm aluminum upper legs which are bonded in. Specialized developed a fully bonded alloy crown/stanchion system for the E160 fork around 2010 while I was a member of the engineering group. It is a great alternative to the traditional press fit assembly method for a fork CSU, and in some ways superior. The moto inspiration for the 9.1 design is apparent, the fork lugs...

Get it. The air spring is fine and so is the damper. I have no desire to replace either and I am coming off a $$$ Avalanche damper in a new 2023 36 chassis. I may tinker with the damper for the sake of adding moar shimz eventually, but the Essential just rides great in the factory configuration out of the box. And on top, you get some plush German TP as a bonus!

@Skunk Works Suspension can you please share your factory and customized shim stacks? As revealed in the discussion on the beer-less site, Intend keeps updating the stacks as a response to customer feedback. Also, thank you for the note about the air spring equalization, I was wondering about that. My Essential was sent with the Travelizer stanchion caps, giving me the option of "XXL air spring volume". I am planning to try a few different equalization strategies with the most linear cap. Awesome write-up!
