Forcella EXT da enduro in arrivo?

Gli amici di MTB-News.de hanno organizzato un incontro con gli addetti ai lavori tedeschi, fra cui Nicolai. Proprio su una Nicolai Geometron è comparsa una forcella lavorata al CNC che ci fa pensare ad un’azienda tutta italiana attiva nel mondo delle sospensioni, di cui è poi anche l’ammortizzatore Storia montato sulla Geometron: EXT.

Da tempo girano voci su una forcella da enduro del marchio vicentino.

Si tratta ovviamente di un prototipo da cui si può dedurre l’ambito di utilizzo enduristico e il diametro degli steli, probabilmente di 36mm.

Restate sintonizzati per maggiori info!

Mostro:

Anche secondo me sembra molto più una Intend da quello che si può vedere, oltretutto a molla. Almeno così si può dedurre, c’è scritto a pennarello “coil 9,62”
Più probabile che Ext per ora ci stia mettendo l’idraulica, visto che si vedono le loro cartucce anche su altre forche

Quali cartucce e su quali altre forche intendi?

EXT USA (Suspension Syndicate in SLC, UT) emailed me about 10 days ago, offering pre-orders on the ERA, said it will be released very soon. Here's the info they were able to share with me. I hope I don't get anyone in trouble reposting it. The price is eye-watering, but less than what Trust wanted for their forks, or a bit more than a Lyrik + HC97 + ACS3 (~$1,584), or Fox 36 + Smashpot (~$1400), or Zeb + Runt (once available) + custom tune (~$1350). At least, that's how I justified it to myself. I've had a 36 GRIP2 for my last 2 forks and a 36 RC2 before that, and struggled to keep them riding high in travel while maintaining light and quick off the top sensitivity. I put a Luftkappe in all 3, but my setups seem to oscillate quickly between skipping over everything or stuffing on big a compression (talking within 5 psi and a few clicks).

The ERA fork will be 29er specific with boost spacing (110x15mm) and available in the following travel options;
[LIST]
[*]140mm, 150mm, 160, and 170mm.
[*]Available in 44mm or 51mm offsets.
[*]The ERA uses a unique hybrid spring cartridge design that utilizes both air and coil. (More on this soon)
[*]The primary focus of the design was to create the best performing fork on the market with a key focus on reducing static and dynamic friction.
[*]Extremely rigid chassis.
[*]100% manufactured in Italy using highly advanced processes and materials.
[*]MSRP for the fork is $1700.
[*]Pre-Order price is offered at a $50 discount and includes an EXT Shirt.
[*]Delivery expected mid to late July.
[/LIST]
Follow up clarifications from them:
[LIST]
[*]under 2300g for the 170mm with uncut steer tube.
[*]For the spring from what we understand at this point it will have a spring element that will be one size and is not need to be changed for rider weight. They are being very tight lipped about this and I have to be careful about what I say but this will not be like the conversion kits. Think more along the lines of a coil that is used only for a small part of the stroke.
