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.
Previously ran a lyrik coil on my Trek rail and wanted something with good sensitivity but better control of bottoming resistance. This fork is frankly awesome for anyone looking for a little more travel a little more comfort and while keeping your stack height in spec.
Works exactly as advertised, softens up the last bit of travel a little. It's not a mind-blowing difference, but it is worth the $ I think. Good quality. My only suggestion would be to make the top cap compatible with the original cap. I like the look of the Fox anodized blue, otherwise, perfect.
Got the aztec teal to go with my turquoise yeti mt! It looks and rides awesome!!
Try to find something light that fit my sub 100lb wife and this is the best. Almost all air forks don't fit for sub 100lb riders, got the Smashpot 25lb spring and this Lift damper in White tune and I'm all set.
i got the Noken for my Rockshox Pike 140mm fork. Over the last 3 years of riding, i have struggled using all my travel. I also have a bad wrist from an old injury. I have tried every conceivable settings to try to limit wrist pain. When I lowered the pressure to try and get more travel... the fork would fee like i hit a wall at end of travel but I was only uisng 80-90mm.... so I would run higher recomended pressures and it felt pretty good (with sore wrists) but again was very limitied in travel. Lo and behold, after installing the Noken and doing multiple 1 hour rides,,, not a single bit of wrist discomfort. Ride seems more plush and active while getting almost 10mm extra travel with about same amount of psi in fork. Thanks! BTW I weigh about 157lbs
It's the little things in life and this damper is one of them! Thought the Fox Grip X2 was a good improvement and then I installed this in my fork.... Game changer!! Smooth as butter and another rad MRP product!
