 Nah, actually the top comment ends up to be from the person anticipating some type of comment which actually doesn't even materialize. No one here complains about Intend trying something. The ball is now back at the bicycle manufacturers. Back in the days anything over 5" of travel was dual crown so the frames were certified to be compatible. Manitou introduced onepointfive and single crown forks went up to full totempole. And with that, anything that wasn't a strict DH bike wasn't necessarily compatible with a dual crown fork (with more than enough exceptions of course). But unless you really need to spin your forks around, dual crown just makes a lot of sense for most mountainbikes just like tru-axles make sense for most mountainbikes. Frame manufacturers just need to give the green light and then it will surely take off.

1 0

 This looks so bizarre. And I love it so much! The form is great, but I'm not sure about the function. Inverted forks, torsional stiffness is often an issue. But I'd still love to try this. I wonder if he will make a regular non inverted fork with a crown and a half like this one? Might be just the thing for a world weary of creaky CSUs.

 @diggerandrider: Yeah, the first thing I thought when I saw this article was both Avalanche and Vorsprung are increasing air volume so this guy's on to something. Not to help you hijack this thread some more but Avy stuff is killer, I run their dampers on both my bikes. Recently put the hybrid coil set up in my Liryk and it's rad.

 Third bushing is a stupid idea ! Been tried by KTM / WP on their 2003 and 2004 inverted forks and returned to 2 bishing ever after. It creates some additional binding and all sensitivity goes out the window especially on landing of front end slap. Universally agreed that those are the worst forks ever produced by WP and the fact that they reversed to 2 bushing design since and that all others all stayed at 2 bushimg should give you a hint. Anyway good luck with that. Rest of the concept seems cool tho.

5 0

 Suspension specialist here in Cape Town removed those third mid bushings from many WP forks. Owners complained bitterly...

2 0

 Given his recent FB post about not allowing publications to test his products anymore due to poor reviews, you might not be totally off base. I like that he's challenging conventional wisdom, but he also seems to be refusing to learn from others mistakes. This must be what it was like to watch suspension be developed in the 90's. I am currently waiting for him to release an elastomer fork with replaceable single crown.

2 0

 @cvewahl: did they complain before or after they removed the third bushing?

2 0

 Before. Haha, seems my statement was ambiguous. After the third bushing removal the forks performed well from what I understand. @Balgaroth may know if the update to the 2005 version was only a bushing removal. I also recall complaints of binding (loosing sensitivity / becoming harsh) while cornering aggressively, similar to what @Balgaroth described as front end slap. What the suspension guru explained, is that the stanchion bends while leaned over (or any event that increases the deflection of the fork) and the middle portion then interferes with the middle bushing due to this bend, resulting in the binding.

 I would try to integrate the extra chamber into the lower crown you could even have the chamber stick out the front of the middle of the crown like a front fender or....have it go up in the middle to the upper crown so you can turn sharp either direction.

 Trade for a Zeb? Seriously this is the first fork in years that I'd definitely want to try. Not to mention it'd go on my RB Bandit!

DO WANT!

 You can compare different settings on back to back runs to some extent. If I recall correctly a few of the WC racers do that as well.

1 0

 @PortTownsendTrailsFTW: ok, that is a reasonable (ish) answer.

2 0

 It does raise the question of the uncontrolled pressure build up in the fork and whether the current crop of forks are addressing the ratios of positive chamber / negative chamber / outer fork leg volumes in an optimum way, or are they being limited by the single crown design and axle to crown dimension. I would not at all be surprised to see forks with cast bulges to allow these volumes to be increased in the near future. e.g. Secus, avalanche volumes integrated into the fork. What do you lot think?

1 0

 After testing the secus for the last month and loving what that large negative chamber does to the ride, it's f..king amazing. The big companies will be using a lower leg chamber soon.

1 0

 @rob748: It's fairly easy to cast extra volume into the outers, or extend the lowers past the axle slightly. Lots of options for the manufacturers even extending the upper tubes past the crown + knockblock. Who knows what we will see in the next few years.

2 0

 To all of those commenting on design innovation. Good design removes a very demonstrable problem w/out adding new limitations or problems. This design appears to add weight and reduces steering radius, but only in once direction. It is not clear that the best way to improve a forks spring curve is with a super large negative air chamber, or even if it if there is enough improvement to warrant adding the introduce limitations. Also, there are probably other ways to increase the negative spring volume other than just extending the upper leg on the air spring side that could avoid introducing new limitations to other aspects of the fork's design. Additionally, the inverted stanchions continue to be unprotected on this fork, and for many riding locations and styles, this is a deal breaker. This design may be visually creative, but from an engineering standpoint in my opinion it is a bit lazy.

1 0

 Great name, as the "Bandit" fork name fits well (I guess the Cannondale patent expired?) Perfect for those days when you are not quite sure if you need a double crown fork or a single crown fork? If you lean just a bit to the right, it looks very well balanced...

 What none of you could see the other side of my lefty for all these years... it has always just been an optical illusion. Once you own one you can see both sides of them all.

2 1

 It looks disabled but I like it, it evoques sympathy. I can deal with that. And it works. I mean, it works partially at most. This doesn’t look like a usable fork because there is no offset at the crown, so the turning radius to the left will be really reduced.

 I think the negative wars (probably a super hero movie one day TBH) needs to continue and @VorsprungSuspension needs to make a SeCONDus.

 Why stop there. Should have only inverted one side.

1 0

 Interesting.... why dont they make it symetrical, Like a Dual crown... If its all about weight, im sure you could easily have a dummy leg on the other side to make it look symetrical without adding much weight. plenty of light hollow tubes in the world these days that you could place there

1 0

 Because the Infinity already exists. You can just buy that and lower it to your desired travel.

1 0

 So... doesn‘t that meanthat with the way the second crown is mounted you‘re limited in your pick with frame manufactureres? Because that stack is limited by the fork, if the steertube is to long you can‘t eun it? Or have i missed something?

1 0

 There doesn't seem to be clamping bolts on the longer leg, the only clamp I can see from these pictures is around the steering tube under the stem (which isn't directmount), so is the long leg pressed-in from both sides ? (up and down)So technically it's closer to a single crown fork with a longer side, than a double crown fork with a shorter side, if that makes sense.

1 0

 So my eye keeps going skew when looking at it ... Just flipping make it a triple crown and be done with it .... they can even go all Spaz and try to stash tools in the RHS fork leg that is doing nothing and give it some catch acronym to make it sound like they designed it like that!

1 0

 Big respect for Cornelius Kapfinger for being so bold! No doubt, that if i can afford one of his masterpieces...it will be on my bike. I saw in person his dual crown USD fork, and its the next level of machining and looks like a product that you can use and trust for years

 If having extra room for a massive negative spring is so great - why haven't we seen this in regular DC forks?

12 0

 You have seen this in dual crowns. Dual crown air forks have dramatically different air springs due to the significantly increased volume. Typically this means larger negative chambers, larger positive chambers, and often larger low leg volume, too.

4 0

 Any DC fork out perform single crown in-terms of plushness

7 1

 I don’t see a single crown fork with an extended air spring, I see a dual crown fork with a shortened damper. So with that said, what is the disadvantage of extending the damper side to match? As I understand it, larger dampers with more oil are inherently superior aside from adding weight.

 I doubt you’ll get that.

If you want a review, you can go to Freiburg and test them yourself. That’s why I’m out.
