INTEND Suspension Fork 29" Blackline Hero Travel Ranger 160 mm tapered BOOST 44 mm Offset black
Intend Blackline Hero - The lightweight suspension fork with maximum performance for trail and enduro.
The Intend Blackline Hero is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a lightweight yet uncompromising suspension fork. Thanks to the adjustable spring travel of 140 mm to 170 mm, it adapts effortlessly to different areas of use and bikes with the Travel Ranger system - from agile trail bikes to light enduro bikes.
Don't weigh much yourself? Do you prefer smooth cornering to rough compressions - or do you want to pick up maximum speed where others slow down? The Hero offers you maximum performance with minimum weight.
The Hero is therefore aimed at ambitious trail or enduro riders who pay attention to weight but don't want to compromise on performance.
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 140 to 170 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.
