Open Bath Cartridge and Adaptor Kit

Technology


 

 

The best performance modification you will ever do to your fork!

Complete replacement of the damper with our open bath cartridge!

This will make your fork feel like a completely different fork, because it is!


Low speed damping that’s firm but still blows-off to be plush on small bumps,
Reduced fork dive that eases the fork through the travel without harshness,
No more high speed compression spikes and no more bottoming with the optional ABS system.

Low speed compression and rebound adjusters help fine tune the valving as to
how it transitions from low to mid and when the high speed kicks in.
Much more effective than the other dampers attempt to add high speed adjustment without the proper shim stack.

Open Bath Cartridge system for better lubrication, smoother action and virtually maintenance free.

External low speed compression and low speed rebound adjusters

Internal revalvable custom high speed compression and rebound valving.

Internal Anti-dive Midvalve.

Optional ABS when using coil kits and when air progression is not enough to prevent bottoming

Optional FvAT/HSB System

Includes the 20 mm Cartridge Damper Kit Insert and fork cap adaptor.

Self install kit, user serviceable and revalvable.

All cartridges are optimized for current travel.
If you plan on changing the travel in the future, please let us know so the proper cartridge tube can be installed.

Our new Hybrid Coil and Cartridge System

The coil kit supports about half the rider weight and the air spring makes up for the other half of the support needed. Now the air side can be used to fine tune the spring rate needed as well as adjust the ride height for different riding conditions, also the air ramp-up can be controlled with the traditional tokens or aftermarket ramp up adjustment devices. The advantage of the hybrid system is versatility, performance, weight, and cost savings. It simply drops into the damper side, only adds about 178 grams(250 grams for 8 inch fork), it solves most of the air spring issues in the first half of the stroke, where the friction forces and small bump compliance are critical, more supportive, it fills in the midstroke wallow of the air spring and corrects the ride height with physical adjustable preload. When the fork gets deeper in the stroke the spring force is more dominant and the stiction and air spring concerns are not as noticeable, so the final spring force is not as sensitive as long as it is more linear and removal of the tokens is now possible with proper damping. The air spring can be set to very low pressures and as linear as possible where it is nearly negligible. Ride height and spring rate can be fine tuned with the air spring pressure which is very helpful when in between spring rates and allows for different riding conditions. The equal force system is a very important feature because now the fork compresses equally with about the same spring rate in both stanchions, a single spring system causes the unsprung side to compress ahead the spring side because of the flexibility of the crown and lowers, this causes stiction in the first half of the travel which is more of a contributor than the air spring stiction. The abs system that we sell as an option to our damper and the Vorsprung system is not necessary because of the air hybrid ramp up is sufficient to prevent bottoming. We feel because of all these advantages there is no need to remove the air spring for single crown fork and replace it with a empty leg coil system.

ABS Option

Only needed for older coil forks, not needed for Hybrid Coil/Air Forks

Click here for more details


We prefer to control bottoming with the use of our optional ABS on the damper side.
This will create a more linear spring system without any mid to end stroke ramp-up and will improve deep square edged hits and better control on jump faces.
