Boasting 300 hours of service life, the new Auron enduro/all-mountain fork should rarely need to be serviced. That said, when it does, it's incredibly easy to do. SR Suntour says you can have the lowers dropped and fork cleaned in 5 minutes or less, and reassembled in just 5 more. Because it's a sealed cartridge system, there doesn't have to be any messy oil to deal with during the quick cleaning process.
This air-sprung fork has 34mm stanchions and up to 160mm of travel. The damper options feature hi and lo-speed compression adjustment or remote lock out option w/ LSC adjustment. Their 15mm thru-axle features the Q-lock 2 release system which is incredibly fast and easy to use.

Just saying, but how is this different than any other fork?
Just pop the nuts off the bottom, slide the lowers off, slide them back on, add oil...voila.
Also, no oil to clean up? Are they not lubed? :/

They are lubed, but they do not come with oil in the lowers. The sealed system does not require it, but oil can be added for additional lubrication.
Many forks require oil in the lowers, that is the difference.

The Cartridge is 300 service hours, the lowers need to be cleaned and lubricated at 50 hours or less. The forks have felt oil wipers that hold oil for lubrication and grease at factory.
Yes adding synthetic oil will help with lubrication, no patent issues. And yes one of the best values out there for the performance. Thanks all, we keep pressing on.
