The Ribbon LT Coil is for riders who want to skip “coil-like” performance and just get the real thing. Offering 150 to 170mm of buttery travel the Ribbon LT Coil eats every trail obstacle but will leave you hungry to ride more. New for this year, the Ribbon Coil becomes the Ribbon “LT” coil and gets a heavy dose of upgrades.
Peerless performance, bullet-proof durability, and unmatched consistency are the hallmarks of coil suspension, that the Ribbon LT Coil delivers all three in spades. The LT Coil features an advanced coil system that utilizes our Ramp Control technology for adjustable bottom-out control. Five spring options serve riders of virtually all sizes, and every fork comes with your choice of spring installed, as well as lighter and heavier options included.
Ribbon LT forks purchased directly from MRP are made-to-order and will be custom tuned to rider weight, giving you performance that’s perfectly tailored. Five stock tunes have been developed through feedback from our DRT test riders and extensive dyno evaluation to give riders from 110 to 270 lbs. ideal high-speed damping profiles and specific low-speed damping adjustability that’s useable through the whole range.

Lift Damper
Lift represents the culmination of several years of lab and field testing designed to deliver riders exactly what they want from their forks – confidence.
Five weight-specific tunes provide riders with perfectly matched damping and full usability of the external rebound and compression adjustment ranges. With 12 clicks of rebound and compression adjustability and the removal of indistinguishably open and uselessly restrictive positions, Lift gets you dialed-in quickly and exactly.
Featuring valving optimized to deliver a seamless crossover from the low to high-speed circuits, advanced flow-path optimization, and a coil-backed IFP, Lift provides damping that’s distinctly smooth, so you can push your limits comfortably.
Outcast
Our unique Outcast arch provides two primary benefits: a stiff, lightweight structure and resistance to mud and debris. By moving the weight-relief pockets to the front of the arch, our engineers were able to carve more grams out of the casting without sacrificing stiffness. Those front-facing reliefs also don’t get clogged by mud and debris like traditionally placed alternatives do – keeping your bike cleaner and keeping crud away from your wiper seals.
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.
Perfect fit. Shipping was prompt. Highly recommend.
If you're serious about Zwift, TrainerRoad, or crushing your indoor training sessions, the Kreitler Killawatt Resistance Unit is a must-have. This innovative add-on transforms your Kreitler rollers into a powerhouse training machine, delivering a challenging, engaging, and realistic ride experience.
Contrary to what some might think, this unit won’t leave you spinning like a hamster or limit your power output. The resistance is so real and powerful, it could match Tadej Pogačar’s 7 watts per kilo with ease! Plus, it’s ideal for maintaining a smooth cadence while sparing your bike from undue stress caused by fixed rear-wheel trainers.
Easy to install, durable, and buttery smooth, the Killawatt is the ultimate pro-level upgrade for serious riders. Take your virtual training to the next level and make every pedal stroke count!
The chart is the power output at a 95 cadence with and without the KillaWatt. If you require more watts than this for longer than 90 seconds I'd recommend contacting a Pro Tour team.
Recently installed on a Yelli Screamy to stud up for some winter riding. Feels great so far. The suspension fork I normally run is a Fox 34 29'er with 140mm. As I've installed a Rock Solid 490, I wish there was an option that matched my axle to crown more closely. 36mm with longer fork crown to not change my geometry....winky face....LOL.
I'm using this for an old XC to gravel bike conversion. Much lighter than a suspension fork. Much more precise steering. Much less expensive than ENVE, Ritchey. Likely safer than an Aliexpress fork. Aluminum steerer is easy to trim. Very satisfied with performance.
