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.
I have meaty fingers and these help with the levers not stressing and cutting into my fingers causing fatigue. I love the one finger stopping leverage that these provide. Great product!
Replaced a charger 2 in a Lyrik with this Lift Damper. Much smoother ride, hand numbness is gone and it still handles drops and corners really good. Very responsive to rebound and damping adjustments, glad I made this choice and now have no regrets.
I'm riding a Canyon Strive:ON with the Fox Grip fork which was underwhelming at best. I originally planned to swap out the damper to the Fox X2 but the simplicity and weight specific tune caught my attention. Read some very positive reviews and pulled the trigger. Installation wasn't a big deal and the ride after install was insane. Literally PR'd all my local spots after install and that isn't BS. The bike just feels planted through everything. Could not be happier and this was just the refresh this bike needed to squeeze some more life out of it before an upgrade. Super stoked! Just get the damn thing, you will not regret it.
Bought this after being endlessly frustrated with my Grip 2 damper. Took a couple rides to dial in but feels just as I was hoping it would!
Glad I can still get what I needed quickly. Hallelujah and thanks.
