Sea Otter was the place to be for those who had a prototype suspension fork this yr. MRP joined in on the motion with a fork that wasn’t inverted, however was a brand new chassis dimension for the model.
We’re informed the fork with 38mm stanchions is simply a prototype for now, and MRP has no launch date in the meanwhile – however it does give a sign to what could also be coming. The fork makes use of the FullFill air spring, and can be supplied in 29″ solely with a 44mm offset. The manufacturing fork ought to have a fast service oil port so you’ll be able to rapidly relube the froth rings underneath the stanchion seals with out taking the fork aside.
We’ll additionally see auto casting valves, that are just like the stress aid valves you’d discover on different fork castings, solely these will robotically bleed when any stress builds.
Elevate V2 & Ramp Management V2
Shifting on to merchandise which might be truly accessible, MRP has new V2 variations of their Elevate drop-in damper and Ramp Management drop-in exterior air spring management. Each have been up to date with higher management over the adjustment vary for higher efficiency. The Elevate V2 has a bigger compression adjustment vary and improved rebound management because of an up to date compression meeting shim stack, needle, and valving. The Ramp V2 has a brand new sprung valve design that’s simpler to fine-tune your entire vary of 16 positions which adjusts the ending stroke development with the equal of 0-4 Tokens.
Noken
You’ve heard of fork Tokens, so how a few Noken? MRP factors to the origin of the fork Token, when many forks wanted assist rising the compression ratio to make them extra progressive. They really feel that now lots of these forks have gone too far into the progressive route, and now need assistance turning into much less progressive.
Enter the Noken. This air spring prime cap will increase the air spring quantity, and reduces the compression ratio to make a extra linear air spring. The Noken provides the amount equal to 1.1 Bottomless Tokens for a RockShox Zeb and 35mm forks, or 1.5 quantity spacers in a Fox 38. Tokens cut back air quantity, the Noken will increase it.
