EssenTTial Damper
EssenTTial gives you consistent and controlled damping. The damper features twin-tube architecture and a low-friction, low-pressure floating piston design for long-lasting performance. The damper has been tuned for a firm, supportive ride and external adjustability gives you broad control of low-speed compression, tunable from open to locked-out
FullFill With Ramp Control
The FullFill air-spring features independent positive and negative air chambers, providing more tuning opportunities than self-equalizing systems. Ramp Control technology gives riders powerful, speed-sensitive, and on-the-fly control of end-stroke ramp-up via a 16-position knob. Huck Puck volume spacers can be added or removed to tune baseline spring progression.
Automatic Casting Vent
Pressure relief valves are great for expelling pressure build up in your lower casting that comes from temperature and elevation changes, but they have one problem: you must remember you activate them. With our new ACV (Automatic Casting Vent) technology, that’s no longer the case. These vents are set from the factory to blow-off when pressure levels rise enough to influence your effective spring rate, keeping your ride consistent regardless of environmental factors. Two ACV vents are found on our highest-end air-sprung forks with the EssenTTial damper, while only one is needed on forks with the Lift Damper. With the Lift Damper taking up less leg volume than the EssenTTial Damper, pressure never builds in the damper leg of Lift-equipped forks to necessitate venting.
I upgraded to the Lift V2 and Ramp Control for 2022 Fox 38 Factory and cannot believe the difference. This was my 2nd fork with the Grip2 Damper, never could get it dialed in, I was considering the X2 Damper, glad I passed on it. . Literally, I was able to got it dialed in on my 1st ride with the Lift V2! I have been riding with it for over a month now, I am riding faster with more confidence on my Ripmo V2S than before. If you are considering the upgrade,, I highly encourage you to go for it and add the Ramp Control at the same time. So sweet to be able to adjust the ramp up from my local trails to the big mountain riding in the Sierras! Thanks MRP for a great product!
I went from a 4.5" roller I had been running for 15 years, it needed replacement. The one I chose to buy is the 3" version of Kompact, about a third more resistance due to the reduced roller diameter. It is indeed a significantly greater pedaling load, but the 4.5" rollers were getting too easy and I would have needed a greater load.
I work to support domestic manufacturing and smaller business. and Kreitler has been a defacto reference for rollers for decades.
No worries, fast shipping, sweet quality and great Customer Support. Very pleased.
100% increase in front tire contact pressure feel. Plush support for rough steeps. This damper@160/150 SDS+ megneg is excellent on the FuelEXe XT. Thanks for making us all ride better damped saferer really
Have a zeb ultimate and makes the top end open up easier and is super plush, need to play with it a bit but haven't gotten into the last third substantially yet. Totally worth it. Was between this and an avalanche damper and love this thing.
