CANNONDALE suspension fork 29" Lefty Ocho Aluminum | 100 mm Remote - SPECIAL OFFER
The Lefty Ocho.
Simply the most advanced and smoothest XC fork with sensitive response ever built by Cannondale. Built for challenges. Built for victories. Built for those who believe in their success.
The incredibly smooth damping comes from the lowest friction fork design ever developed. Precision that comes from stiffness, engineered for maximum control.
With only one triple clamp and only one fork leg, all the material is concentrated where it is needed to make the fork robust and stiff. With less unsprung mass than conventional forks, it has better damping and suspension behavior. The tapered steerer tube ensures lower weight and full compatibility with many frames. A triple clamp is all you need.
Float over the bumps. Over the obstacles on the ground that would lift you over the handlebars. Take you where you want to go. When it comes to responsiveness, the Ocho tops all rankings. Fewer friction-generating bushings and seals than any other fork. The smooth new Chamber damper and the evolution of the Lefty's revolutionary needle bearing design - Delta Cage. All this adds up to one of the best forks ever built. No juddering, no shaking or hesitation, no matter how hard you push it. Just perfect response for ultimate control on the trail.
Stiffness, however, like many other characteristics, is a double-edged sword: too soft and you get a fork that won't take you where you want to go. Too stiff or stiff in the wrong places and the suspension bounces and bounces instead of floating and gliding. The Ocho's unique single crown design and triangle-in-triangle fork leg give engineers unprecedented opportunities to customize the stiffness of the fork to perfection. Stiffness for progress and gliding so that you always stay in the flow.
OppO air spring
A robust air spring system with self-adjusting negative spring. Perfectly balanced. No mechanical parts - a new level of reliability.
Chamber damper
The newly developed and self-bleeding high-flow damper with heat compensation and externally adjustable rebound and compression damping delivers smooth performance and jerk-free damping in all conditions.
Externally adjustable compression damping
The easy-to-reach knob offers six clicks for perfect compression adjustment
SideCar air valve
Easily accessible to adjust your setup in seconds.
Lockout
Simple and reliable lockout with Bowden cable actuation.
Triangle-in-triangle construction
The needle bearings on three sides inside the stanchion prevent the dip tube from twisting, giving you incredible steering precision.
StopLock brake pedestal
The self-adjusting brake mount with PM 160 mm standard can be removed with a 180° turn of the quick release. This means that nothing stands in the way of quick and easy wheel removal.
Guide Guard
Protects the lower fork leg and guides your brake line upwards cleanly and without rattling. A SAG indicator is printed on the inside so that you can adjust your setup perfectly.
Notes
If you want to install the Ocho in a Cannondale FSI up to Mj 2019 or a Scalpel with OPI frame, you need the adapter 49033 and a fully integrated headset of your choice such as 27276 from our store.
The fork is supplied in a neutral OEM box, i.e. without original packaging. However, we can offer it to you at an absolute top price.
