INTEND Suspension Fork 29" Blackline Edge Travel Ranger 160 mm tapered BOOST 44 mm Offset black
Which fork is right for me?
The clever minds at Intend often hear this question - and the answer of course depends on how and where you ride. Do you ride enduro bikes and your weight is in the normal to slightly above-average range? Do you want to go fast, maybe take part in a few races - but also enjoy relaxed tours with your friends without feeling like you have a steel block on your bike?
Then the Edge is your fork.
It is stiffer than the Hero, but lighter than the Flash. Weight has been saved wherever possible - without any noticeable loss of stiffness. Incidentally, the Edge was tested just as rigorously as the Flash and Hero: in the E-Gravity test at EFBE - the toughest fork test of all. So you don't have to compromise on safety.
Maybe Intent's April Fool's joke wasn't so funny after all...
In any case, the upside-down forks are celebrating their comeback with the Opt. upgrade. The air spring and damping have also been revised for perfect function. And the three top models - Hero, Edge and Flash - are now available in the new Blackline look: with black, one-piece forged lower legs and anodized stanchion protectors.
Air spring
Optimized air spring with adapted volume of the positive and negative air chamber. Adapted air seals ensure high reliability, minimum breakaway torque and reduced friction. The progression can be adjusted to your preferences with the bottom caps.
Travel Ranger
The fork can be adjusted in 10 millimeter increments from 150 to 180 mm travel to meet your exact requirements. It is delivered in the configuration you order. All necessary spacers are included so that you can easily adjust the suspension travel to your wishes and preferences at a later date.
Optimized Damping
A revised damping unit that keeps the response of your fork at a consistently high level. Racing Bros seals, special oil and a perfectly adapted tune ensure traction and control. The closed cartridge is self-bleeding and thus ensures consistent function.
Lower Blades
Milled protectors for your fork. The milled parts are not only a visual highlight, they also provide optimum protection for the lower legs.
Opticoat
A special coating on the stanchions for optimum function of your fork.
