Performance and Riding Experience
Our front fork transforms your e-bike into a comfort machine. The 80mm travel absorbs everything from small vibrations to large impacts, keeping your hands and arms fresh even on longer rides. The 15mm thru-axle ensures that the front wheel stays planted during hard cornering or braking, giving you confidence on descents. The preload adjustment lets you fine-tune the suspension to your preference – whether you want a plush feel for cruising or a firmer setup for aggressive riding. The sealed dust wipers keep the stanchions clean, ensuring consistent performance ride after ride. Riders report a noticeable reduction in arm pump and fatigue, allowing you to enjoy your e-bike more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this fork compatible with my e-bike?
A: The fork fits standard 1-1/8 inch headtubes and 26/27.5/700C wheels with 15mm thru-axle hubs. Check your bike’s existing headtube and hub specifications. The steerer tube is 250mm and can be cut to size.
Q: How do I adjust the preload?
A: Use the preload adjuster knob on top of the fork leg. Turn clockwise for firmer suspension, counterclockwise for softer. We recommend starting with a medium setting and adjusting based on your weight and riding conditions.
Q: Can I use this fork with a 100mm travel hub?
A: No, this fork is designed for 80mm travel. Using a longer travel hub may cause improper geometry and handling. Stick to 80mm or less.
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Periodically clean the dust wipers and check for stanchion scratches. Lubricate the wipers with a light oil if needed. If you notice oil leaks or reduced damping, have the fork serviced by a professional.
