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.
Perfect protection for the needs with a smaller chainring without loosing too much clearance and very stealth .
Always thought these were a luxury I could do without. Would never go back now. Solid. Easy to changeover using the supplied video instructions
Nice and light, small, doesn’t get in the way of anything. Used the thicker spacers for my Transition Patrol. Been using MRP guides since the ‘90’s, love em!
I have never really gotten along with the Fox 38. At the recommended settings and psi they can be brutally harsh and at lower pressures they offer very little support and control. The MRP Lift V2 fixed all of the above. It has the support you need for steep technical descending with a controlled plush feel on fast downhill. At 192 lbs I went with the green tune and so far I don't feel like I need to change that even though it's on a 52 pound ebike. Definitely will be purchasing a second one to go in a Zeb even though in my opinion the base Zeb has a better damper in it than the Fox 38 grip2.
I upgraded my 160mm Fox 36 from a Grip2 damper to a Yellow MRP Lift V2 (rider weight 170lbs). I was previously running ~10% lower air pressure than recommended by Fox to achieve full travel with zero inserts; but since I paired the damper upgrade with an air spring upgrade (NA2 to NA3 Glidecore) , bushing burnishing, and Supergliss in place of the Fox 20wt, I had to increase back to Fox's recommended pressure (72psi) to avoid bottoming out. I was a bit nervous that my first ride on the new setup was on The Whole Enchilada from the Kokopelli drop, but the fork worked wonderfully with MRP's recommended settings. It was beautifully supple on the smaller hits, yet remained high in the travel despite repeated large hits. A very worthwhile upgrade!
