Bologna, July 29th, 2011 – When it comes to gravity mountain biking, we were the first to create a fork that was suited perfectly to all the stress riders were putting it through. We’ve put in our time and with years and years of experience, research and development, blood and sweat, we have come a long way since then. For 2012, we bring you some of the best gravity mountain bike forks on the market that combine minimum weight with maximum performance and durability in a price range that doesn’t break the bank.
We’re particularly proud of our DH flagship, the 888 RC3 EVO TITANIUM. And once you’ve tried it, you’ll know why. We’ve saved weight wherever we could and the result is the lightest coil DH fork in the market! The 888 RC3 EVO TI is only 200g heavier than the lightest air DH forks in the market while offering all the advantages of a coil: stability, reliability and durability and no stress. The upper crown comes with a direct mount feature. We listened closely to our pro riders on the World Cup circuit and were able to tweak our mountain bike forks to perfection with their help and feedback. Speaking of tweaking; the brand new compression piston of this particular fork comes with the option to change shims allowing you to customise your fork to suit your needs. You can really make this fork your own; not approximately, but precisely suited to your needs. For the freeriders among you, the 66 RC3 EVO TITANIUM also offers all these advantages with a suspension that is specifically tuned to your freeriding needs.

Another gem in our gravity world is the CR cartridge for the 888 and 66. Thanks to the compensation port, oil management inside your cartridge is more efficient than ever before and you need less oil. The cartridge performance offers a whole new dimension of performance in its category. The same goes for the tapered stanchions that come with these models and have only the exact amount of material they need – not one scrap more. Combined with the rebound and compression adjusters the CR can be serviced easily – even though it barely ever needs to. So whether it’s the RC3 EVO or CR damper, our gravity suspensions will always create the best riding experience for you when gravity calls!
