EssenTTial Gravel Damper
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.
Easy to fit, if you’ve ever done basic maintenance on your fork. Turned my Grip2 Fox 38 from an unsupportive yet harsh fork into a smooth fork that is an absolute joy to descend on. Highly recommended if you’re an XL sized rider compared to the stock fork.
Best upgrade what have ever done! Lift give me more speed and control and confidence. I think this is the best suspension upgrade what you can do to your fox or rock shox fork.
that was the best 170 bux i have spent on my GT Avalanche framed hardtail enduro. it is equipped for hardcore shredding. it has shimano xtr xt slx, MRP, cane creek, wolfs tooth, renthal, specialized, DT SWISS, mavic, maxxis, peatey, rockshox, parts. the bike roxx. the MRP chainguide has saved my chain and chainwheel many times and i can get all the parts for it to rebuild or replace it.
I own a 2024 Fox Factory 34 Grip2 130 mm fork and, as a lighter rider, I had to fully open both the LSC and HSC to achieve reasonable small bump compliance.
So, I replaced the Fox VVC damper with MRP's Lift Damper upgrade with their Yellow Tune (150-180 lbs.) and, on my first ride, I immediately noticed better fork small bump sensitivity even with several clicks of LSC (6) from fully closed. My fork also ramped up more smoothly with increased traction once things got rougher and technical. I was even able to use less psi than what I typically set without bottoming out.
I'm still testing various LSC and rebound settings, but this damper upgrade is definitely worthwhile. And MSR's customer support is responsive!
I’ve tried to get my F36 Factory Grip2 to perform as I have read about but could never get there! It was a constant struggle to find the right balance between small bump compliance and large hits/drops while still maintaining support and happy with the fork. I read reviews on the MRP Lift Damper and decided to try it…. Having this installed has been a game changer for sure! I noticed from the first ride small bump compliance… smooth ride! I needed to dial the settings in for support on large hits/drops and found that happy setting after repeated runs down a familiar trail with drops and hits! It was a breeze to install and MRP has excellent information online for installation!
