X-Fusion just keeps bringing on the heat. Following the announcement of two new long-travel forks at Sea Otter, they've also got this new 27.5-inch specific enduro fork in the works. Details below...

The Sweep is the latest addition to X-Fusion's 34mm line of forks. Joining the Slant (26inch) and the Trace (29inch), the Sweep is a dedicated 27.5-inch wheel fork. What sets it apart from other forks as a dedicated 27.5-inch fork is the offset. Its 46mm offset provides precise, yet smooth handling characteristics matching the trail found on the 26-inch and 29-inch forks. Inside the Sweep is the highly accredited RL2 damper system with Mid-Valve technology. This damping system gives the rider rebound adjustment with an on-the-fly lockout lever. Helping control the fork when the terrain gets rough is X-Fusion's secondary compression circuit, the Mid-Valve. On top of the chassis and high-quality sealed damping system, the Sweep is also first to see X-Fusion's Nvolve custom seals. Nvolve seals improve the seal life and reduce the friction and breakaway force by up to 150% over custom stanchion tube coatings found on the market.

The Sweep is set to deliver the industry leading performance and quality riders have come to expect from X-Fusion. It will be an early 2014 model year release and available for purchase in June 2013.
