FullFill Gravel

Modular Dropouts
Your gravel bike was supposed to allow you to get away from it all, so why does it confine you to roads and well-worn trails? Escape and explore further with the MRP Baxter suspension fork.
The Baxter greatly expands the capability, comfort, and speed of your gravel bike. 40 or 60mm of supple, but progressive travel erases washboards, removes the sting from embedded rocks, and makes descending fun again. Whether you’re racing, exploring the unknown, or long-distance bikepacking, the Baxter makes for a better adventure.

EssenTTial Gravel 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 Gravel
The FullFill air-spring features independent positive and negative air chambers, providing more tuning opportunities than self-equalizing systems. The unique ability to run slightly higher negative spring pressure provides riders with a supremely supple initial stroke that’s unmatched by any other air-spring system. Huck Puck volume spacers can be added or removed to tune baseline spring progression.
Modular Dropouts
Baxter forks feature our modular dropout system, giving you the opportunity to change fork offset and hub compatibility (12x100 or 12x110 Boost). Four sets of dropouts are available: 12x100 “Flippable”, 12x100 “Fixed”, 12x110 “Flippable”, and 12x110 “Fixed”. “Flippable” dropout chips give two offset positions, whereas “Fixed” versions only provide one.
The Lift V2 has been an outstanding upgrade from the Fox Grip2 damper. Every adjustment click makes a noticeable difference in both compression and rebound making setup/tuning easy. The mid-stroke support, and plushness provided the Lift V2 is something I never experienced with the Grip2. Riding higher in the fork travel has also helped the handling of the bike by preserving the bikes geometry in travel.
If you aggressively ride an IBIS Ripley V4, then I can't recommend this chainguide enough. Wow, the fit, the function, the size, the clever adjustment points. I would buy this again and recommend to all my friends. There is not very much room with the DW Links on this version of the Ripley and this guide is a perfect all mountain "keep the chain on" but not *overkill* guide. This guide bolts directly to the IBIS "bottom bracket spacer tab thinga-ma-jig" that is meant to mount guides to. Perfectly. I used the bigger spacer washers on my application and the chain is perfectly centered across the cassette range and does not rub anywhere. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Stop reading. Buy it. I'm serious. I have owned a ton of guides (I tried to get all of the old ones to fit this bike to no avail!) and this one is KING. Order now.
I was excited to finally see a company (MRP) had finally decided to make a weight scaled damper for commonly available forks.
unfortunately i had just bought a new fox 38 with the VVC Grip 2 on sale and the fork budget was out for a bit. After a disappointing and frustrating trip away with the 38s I came home with the realization that revalving for a heavier rider is a necessity. I am about 118kg with gear on, so sit in the middle of the red tune and reading some reviews recommending to tune down made me hesitant on a decision. After finally deciding to go with the red tune for my vorsprung smashpot equipped Marzocchi Z1 I pulled the trigger and ordered one. The first ride was a revelation and I am not kidding I have never felt a fork like this i was blown away and left wondering is this what they are supposed to feel like. Full disclosure my bike is a homemade high pivot with a designed low leverage ratio for a heavy rider on the rear and I work on hard on maintaining strength and power for my weight. Not sure if any of this has contributed to the magic spot this damper has filled on this bike. The only regret I have is not ordering an extra one for the other fork when buying this one on sale.
I upgraded a 2019 Fox 34 Fit4 to the v1 Lift. It dropped right in with no issues during a lowers service - no crush washer necessary. I've been putting it through the ringer in New England jank for a couple of months now. The results are phenomenal, no more hand spikes, and a firm, supportive platform that just works great once dialed in to you. It rides high during climbs and just gets out of the way when smashing rocks. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this upgrade to anyone looking for better performance from their fork.
At 200lb I started with the green tune on a 140/120 trail bike, then swapped to the blue compression tune since the shorter travel fork has to do more work with less travel. The green rebound stayed in for extra pop.
I think MRP did a fantastic job, and the v2 looks to be even better. Being able to custom tune a shock from your home garage is a real game-changer! This is a major upgrade for anyone changing out a Fit4, Grip1, Grip2, or GripX damper. And far less harsh and fiddly than the GripX2 on my Fox 40, if only there was one that fit there too... sigh...
easy to install . . I do not typically have an issue with rocks & derailleur impacts. I like the innovative approach MRP takes as well as very slight weight penalty for extra protection.
