FUTURESHOCK E150<br />
Highest-per<strong>for</strong>mance 150mm-travel <strong>for</strong>k in the world. At around 4.5 pounds, it boasts precise handling<br />
and the most effective bump-<strong>for</strong>ce management available.<br />
1 Integrated lowers and thru-axle <strong>for</strong> incredible<br />
torsional rigidity and steering precision<br />
2 Double triple-clamp design with integrated<br />
stem to decrease weight and improve<br />
steering precision<br />
3 Attitude Adjustment travel-adjust system quickly<br />
lowers the front end <strong>of</strong> the bike <strong>by</strong> 40mm <strong>for</strong><br />
optimized climbing per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
4 State-<strong>of</strong>-the-art seals ensure extremely low<br />
maintenance and high reliability<br />
5 Our proprietary Spike Valve enhances a rider’s<br />
control <strong>by</strong> increasing stability in corners and<br />
at low speeds, while still allowing maximum<br />
travel on large or high-speed impacts<br />

AFR SHOCK<br />
SPIKE VALVE: THREE MODES OF CONTROL<br />
RIDER OSCILLATION/<br />
SMALL HIT<br />
Low-speed port open<br />
Turning and pedaling<br />
<strong>for</strong>ces allow only a small<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> oil to flow<br />
through the damper,<br />
decreasing “wallow”<br />
and yielding control.<br />
INTERMEDIATE HIT<br />
Low-speed port open,<br />
Shim stack open<br />
Intermediate impacts<br />
deflect the speedsensitive<br />
compression<br />
valve shim stack,<br />
matching compression<br />
to bump <strong>for</strong>ce.<br />
LARGE HIT Low-speed<br />
port open, Shim stack<br />
open, Spike valve open<br />
High-speed impacts<br />
release the Spike valve and<br />
it immediately dumps oil<br />
to allow maximum travel.<br />
Again, bump <strong>for</strong>ce is<br />
matched <strong>by</strong> damper<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />
Designed as an integral part <strong>of</strong> the bike, our line <strong>of</strong> AFR Shocks helps our Enduro,<br />
Epic and Stumpjumper bikes deliver maximum control, incredible efficiency and<br />
unsurpassed strength with minimal weight.<br />

2 The custom tuned L-VAS (Large Air Volume Spring) matches spring rate to<br />
bump <strong>for</strong>ce <strong>for</strong> optimized control<br />
