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.
I have had the Baxter fork for about a year. Once I figured out the tuning, setting both the negative and positive pressure, I have been able to set my sag and travel to absorb the rough roads I usually travel on. This has enable me to ride for 5 to 6 hours without feeling like I have been in a battle.
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!
