Fork controls 

GO ANYWHERE. 

RIDE ANYTHING. 

From 100 mm to 160 mm of 

travel, CTD dampers (Climb, 

Trail, and Descend modes) 

are available in all 32 and 34 

forks, including 26 inch, 

29 inch and 650B models. 

Climb. Trail. Descend. This integrated 

system makes it easy for your fork, shock, 

and seatpost to work together. 

ADJUSTABLE TRAIL MODE 

Once the lever is set to Trail 

mode, Factory Series forks allow 

you to get an extra 3 clicks of 

Trail mode adjustability 

(soft, medium, and firm).

NO LATERAL OR ROTATIONAL PLAY 

The dual internal cam design allows the post to move smoothly 

into each travel setting (Climb, Trail, or Descend) with no lateral 

or rotational play. 

CTD 3-POSITION INTEGRATION 

Gain complete ride control at your fingertips with the leveractuated, 

three-position D.O.S.S. seatpost. It syncs with front and 

rear suspension settings—Climb, Trail, and Descend—for instant 

performance optimization based on the terrain. 

EASY-TO-FIND MIDDLE POSITION 

Dual levers and the internal positioning system make it easy and 

automatic to find middle Trail position every time.

SUPER LIGHT 

FORK CHASSIS 

The lightest-ever FLOAT 26 and 29 forks are here with zero 

sacrifices in stiffness or performance. These short-travel forks 

(26 100/120 and 29 100) feature the same weight-saving 

engineering as the 34, resulting in unmatched torsional 

stiffness and trail performance. 

26 INCH MODELS STARTING 

AT 2.98 LBS 

All FLOAT 100/120 models receive 

the new super light chassis. The 100 

(FIT CTD w/Trail adjust) model is the 

lightest to date at 2.98 lbs. 

26 100 2.98 LB / 1.35 KG 

.11 LB / 50 G LIGHTER THAN 2012 

29 INCH MODELS NEARLY 

HALF-POUND LIGHTER 

FLOAT 29 100 models (FIT CTD w/Trail 

adjust) start at .45 lb / 204 g lighter 

than 2012 models. 

34 160 FLOAT & TALAS 

The 34 platform is now available additionally for 26 inch and 

650B wheels and has extended to 160 mm of trail-eating travel. 

Each fork is equipped with a 15QR thru axle system and a 1.5-inch 

tapered steerer and crown. 

LIGHTER 

Compared to its 36 160 

big brother, the 34 160 is 

.47 lbs (213 g) lighter. 

(in lightest configuration for each 

Factory Series fork family) 

STIFFER 

To maintain high 

stiffness for superior 

handling, the 34 160 is 

equipped with a 15QR 

thru axle lower leg 

and a lightweight 

1.5-inch crown/steerer. 

20% STIFFER THAN A 32 

.44 LB / 200 G LIGHTER THAN A 36 

LOWER 

AXLE-TO-CROWN 

The axle-to-crown 

height is 7.4 mm shorter 

(compared to the 36 

160) for optimal frontend 

geometry and quick, 

snappy handling. 

MOUNTING HARDWARE 

Excellence is in the details. The main contact point of 

shock-and-frame has been redesigned to offer big benefits. 

LESS FRICTION 

The new resin hardware reduces 

friction by nearly 50% compared 

to traditional mounting hardware, 

allowing the shock to respond 

faster to all linkage movements. 

CLEAN AND DURABLE 

O-rings and the flanged bushing 

design blocks out dirt and mud. 

In lab tests, shocks submerged 

in muddy slurry lasted 10 times 

longer with the new hardware. 

NO TOOLS REQUIRED 

All pieces of the hardware 

system can be mounted 

to the shock by hand.

FLOAT AIR SPRING CURVES 

All FLOAT forks from 130 mm to 180 mm of travel are upgraded 

with new travel-specific, optimized air springs to provide the most 

coil-like feel possible. 

SMARTER TRAVEL 

Our ultimate goal with the FLOAT air spring is to mimic 

the linear curve of a coil spring. The secret to achieving 

near-perfect linear spring curves, while maintaining 

bottom-out resistance in each travel setting, is focusing 

on both ends of the fork’s travel path. The result: 

» less initial breakaway force 

» longer negative spring and reduced air spring 

compression ratio for a more linear feel 

» optimized use of overall travel 

» more travel with less ramping at the end

FORCE 

FLOAT LARGE VOLUME 

AIR SLEEVE & EYELET 

LIGHTER 

By removing unnecessary 

parts, the large-volume, 

integrated air sleeve 

and eyelet design 

reduces weight by 

approximately .08 lbs / 

37 grams (average weight 

savings compared to an 

equivalent XV sleeve). 

COOLER AND 

CONSISTENT 

The air spring performs 

more consistently and 

velocity air damping is 

reduced compared to 

traditional multi-piece 

extra volume designs. 

INTEGRATED 

The eyelet is an integral 

part of the new large 

volume sleeve. All the 

air volume normally 

found in an XV sleeve 

is now contained in the 

eyelet itself.
