The no-suspension look<br />

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and for a<br />

significant group of bikers the rigid fork is an<br />

object of beauty. They adore the sleek looks and<br />

simple lines inherent in its design. They accept the<br />

rock-hard riding feeling just to preserve the look<br />

of their bike (not because they're masochists).<br />

Our design team set themselves the task of<br />

winning these 'hardliners' over. They had to create<br />

a suspension fork which would convince the rigid<br />

fork fans with a sleek and slim design coupled<br />

with suspension comfort. The result was the<br />

award-winning Swing Shock fork. The 30 mm of<br />

travel absorbs the main hits from cobblestones,<br />

sidewalk curbs, little stairs and potholes. The rigid<br />

construction allows better acceleration whilst<br />

pedaling and the fork weight of around 1400g<br />

is 200g under the lightest standard telescopic<br />

suspension fork in category. The low built-inheight<br />

allows rigid fork replacement with minimal<br />

change to the original bike geometry.<br />
