INTEND Suspension Fork 29" Blackline Flash Travel Ranger 170 mm tapered BOOST 44 mm Offset black
Nothing is too fast, too high or too far for you? Then you shouldn't stop reading now.
Intend is proud to present the toughest and heaviest fork in the USD Single Crown range.
With an extremely robust upper fork crown that surpasses even the Edge Enduro model in stiffness and an air spring designed for a maximum travel of 190 mm, this fork is a testament to uncompromising stability and reliability.
With its newly developed crown, the Flash is therefore the most stable fork in the current Blackline lineup. It is your reliable companion for the toughest terrain and the most difficult conditions.
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 160 to 190 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.
