The value-packed Raven is the the workhorse of the MRP suspension fork lineup. With 120-160mm of travel and featuring a stiff 35mm chassis, it's up to go down anything. Utilizing the proven Ribbon chassis and sharing much of its technology, the Raven brings MRP’s renowned performance to a new price point. Key differences from Ribbon models are the Huck Puck system in lieu of Ramp Control, a simplified twin-tube damper, and the absence of our ACV casting vent system in the lowers.

Have a zeb ultimate and makes the top end open up easier and is super plush, need to play with it a bit but haven't gotten into the last third substantially yet. Totally worth it. Was between this and an avalanche damper and love this thing.
I was toying with a project making a single speed out of a carbon DV9 frame. I have an older Convert from Soulcraft that had a MRP orange roller that was beat. So I figured out that this roller was exactly the same (just black in color)
I ordered two just to be safe and it totally works!
So FYI, if you have a project that needs a great bearinged roller, this could really fit the bill!
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.
The straps hold the foot really good
You can use them with any shoes you want, even with shoes with wide toe box (barefoot shoes)
In my case I needed to use XL straps since my size didn't fit in regular strap (11 US barefoot Altra sneakers)
The only thing I would like to change is to have possibility to move them a bit outside of the pedals closer to the back wheel in order to place the front part of the foot on the pedal, and not the middle part
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.
