I think they were only ever 7" IIRC. I have the older (orange) ones that were 6", would rather hang onto them than sell though.

 

[xy9ine]

yep. the last one was 7". though it needed regular maintenance to keep it buttery, it was a great little fork. wish i kept mine.

I have one that I would sell for a pretty reasonable price, the only problem is that the lower crown is cracked, so if you have one of those or want the rest, let me know.

Not even that, 170mm of travel if I remember correctly. 6.69"

I have one too. Uppers are buggered from rubbing on killed bushings. Very cool fork, looks better without those red stickers on too

why an X-vert? the Dorados are better forks and more reliable too, and many places have them for cheap now

Well since everyone is reporting breakages, I should mention that my arch is cracked

NateH and Jonny5 have PM.

Reason why i want this fork is because now i have a Specialized DH team (shaun Palmer) and I want the same fork as he had.
Wanted to buy the fork a couple of years ago......but it was me a little to expensive and i had an giant ac team.

I take it you read the dirt article?

I was planning to do mine up one day if I can find a set of upper tubes. would be a pretty cool all mountain fork I recon

Nate h and jonny 5 still want to sell the forks???

Or is there someone else who has one and wants to sell it..??

 

[no skid marks]

I know of a virtually new Palmer replica specialized here in Oz. An ex bike shop owner owns it, he's an old man, never been DHed, just trail ridden.
PM me an offer and I'll let him know.

I rode a Palmer Spec DH quite a bit in 02-04 when my friend had one. I got pretty extensive time on it with his X-Vert and my 03 Dorado. Frame was a great ride, once we got the shock dialed it felt like an Intense M1, but with a longer wheelbase. It turned okay, but the chainstay was pretty long for the overall length of the bike. Putting the X-Vert up front made for a nearly perfectly front-rear weight balanced bike, but it was like riding a noodle. The suspension felt great, but required too much work to keep it buttery smooth.
When we switched it out the the Dorado, it took a while to get used to the extra weight, but we were puling better times as the front end was tracking better. We were also able to drop the front end a bit more to get a better riding position. I would look into a Dorado as well if you have not been able to ride an X-Vert yet. They are quite possibly the most flexing fork I have ever ridden.
My friend did not notice it as much, but he only weighed 140-150# at the time. I definitely noticed it at 200#.
Just some food for thought.

Ok, but still i want tot try it out.
I'am not heavy weight, i'am 154 lbs:biggrin:

If you get problems with language let me know i try to do something.

 

[schwinnstr8]

I got one, but it also has a cracked brake arch. Heres picture of it before the crack.

I also have spare parts for it(if i can find it), such as... i think it was a compression valve or rebound valve, different weight springs.

email me if you're interested.

I have the fork your looking for - its in good working order, just a little banged up. let me know if you still interested and we can talk price. I'm located in South Eastern Pennsylvania.

Hi guys,

I also have an X-vert Carbon for sale, problem is, that the upper crown has a crack in it.



But, I 've drawn a new, with holes for integrated stem in it, but for me, having it done with a CNC machine would cost as much as the fork





So I'm looking to sell fork and technical drawing or would like to buy an upper crown...

PM if interested.

 

[kalaius]

Still have it
Anyone interested?
