EXT Fork

[BT180]

So who's got the inside scoop?

@Zaf when he's finished showering.

If it reviews anything like the shock it's going to be quite something.

 

[BT180]

Yep. I wonder if it'll be a coil.

Haha, it's finally made it to the media. Don't know much other than a little conversation with the guy from EXT Australia, but I have money put aside for it.

I remember you mentioned it months and months ago; keen to see what they come up with.

I'm scared of the price already...

Coil or air @Zaf? Do you know?

@Zaf do you know if it is a complete fork or just a damper?

I don't understand the secrecy. If it was the first ever mtb fork then yes, but otherwise it would be better for publicity to get the info out asap. It's not like any of the major players will give two shits about what EXT are up to.

It must be a hybrid electro magnetic hydraulic coil fork with air support and self tuning ability.

Not gold enough though.

Prior art. Circa 180 patents in the EU and USA describing ferrofluid ( electro magnetic) based damper designs.

Spoiler: For reference

TBH, this might be an Intend BC prototype from Cornelius, the axle and crown lends me to believe. But thought I'd make your heart skip anyway.

Arch looks bonded to the outers rather than a single cast. Could be visual trickery.

Class looks, they’ll (Whoever that is) probably ruin it with stickers for production.

You'd prefer an unsprung fork?
