there are not many forks out there that are this good, of course nothing mainstream can compete (RS, Fox, DVO, etc).. i have couple of USDs from Intend and dont believe in stories of horrible flex etc carried forward from decades ago.. the chassis is the best out there, simple damper that just works.. You actually can fell pure spring and damping, no binding and friction (that one gets used to in conventional forks).. you may see some more pronounced flex on ultra high speed berms, but nothing that compromises the experience.. this is a beautiful bike , even more...

I've got one of their regular side up forks, the Ebonite Bandit, and its been pretty great so far. Its probably the smoothest/plushest fork I've ever ran, so I can only imagine how smooth and easy it is to squish one of those USD bad boys. I also love how easy it is to open up an work on. Though I know the internals have changed a good bit since mine came out. Only issue I've had is it seems to bottom out a little easier than my other forks. I've messed with the settings, air pressure, and bottom out...

Before I started making bikes, I had a variety of different designs, but had always preferred single pivots. They just felt more lively and engaging to ride. And even thought I was doing a bit of racing, I felt this was most important. It's never the bike that is slowing me down, so a bike that I felt most confident on was always going to make me the fastest. I think I nailed geometry pretty early on via quite a bit of testing of different variations. But pretty much for the whole of Starling's time, geometry has remained unchanged. We've...

pretty sure thats the future of DH, sic rig! The only issue is the cost that I see, but that will get sorted as the platform gets more adopted. I am sick of replacing over priced cassettes (even a 7 speed DH cassette is priced like jewelry , replacing chains when they are .0000001 out of spec and cleaning my chain every ride. I am over geared drivetrains. The weight centered around the bottom less unsprung weight at the wheel..the benefits are endless for the belt and gear box.

Solid, thanks for the response! I love me some coil too, just wasn't sure if it was worth it on a short travel rig but I think I'll give it a go.

How have you been liking this build? It climb ok with the coil? I've got a used frame coming my way and am thinking about slapping a coil on it for the heck of it.

Incredible build. The stem is stunning. It looks like by Futureproof Engeneering . Did you inspired or it is your project? Btw what is the weight of this beauty?

Such a sweet bike. Have you ridden it much yet? Curious how it feels when climbing. How is it downhill as well?
