Targeted material cutouts of the innovative arch and crown design ensure maximum torsional stiffness and low weight, along with the Kabolt SL axle, which contributes to weight reduction. The new GlideCore air shaft significantly reduces friction, especially under axial loads when quickly going over large stones or roots. The special construction minimizes the misalignment of the air piston in the stanchion. An increased bushing overlap of 30mm reduces friction and provides a smooth riding experience and excellent stability, particularly at high speeds. The GRIP X2 cartridge has been specifically designed for enduro and gravity and offers outstanding performance in downhill conditions. With individually adjustable high and low-speed compression settings, as well as high and low-speed rebound settings, the GRIP X2 allows for precise tuning of the suspension to meet diverse demands on challenging trails. The new pressure equalization knobs are slimmer and easier to use. The new 36/36SL mud guard is no longer attached to it but is instead bolted to the lower crown and lowers for robust, scratch-free protection. Maximum tire width is 2.6 inches, and the brake disc size ranges from 200 to 230 mm.
