called the shock therapy.
does anybody know anything about this? I can't find a lick of info anywhere.

Same guys who do brake therapy floating brake arms. Good suspension stuff from what I've heard just heavy. Like 12lbs+ moto heavy. Their main thing for bikes is the floating brake arm kit. These kits work very well and are beautifully made.
...yeah - I've always wondered what that fork was like.
If it's from the guys at Therapy it's gotta be pretty good, although I don't know of anyone riding one.
Looks interesting... like maybe a nice alternative to a Boxxer.

EDIT: Heavy? ...it says "Ready to ride at 6.3 lbs..." where are you getting 12 lbs. from???

oster_oops: My bad I was thinking of the Stratos Super 8...just went and looked at the link. Dual air 9" inverted? Pretty wild.

Is it just me or doesnt the fork and shock look like stratos stuff. Did they buy stratos when they went under?
No Brian has been making this stuff for years now.
BTW: The s8 was only 9.8lbs I had 2 of them and yes they were butter smooth. Not worth the weight but nice.

So it's late friday nite, and I'm just coming up for air during a marathon design stint (stay tuned for the results, all new suspension design). And I see a thread about our fork. Cool.
A few comments:
6.3 pounds ready to ride for 7" travel
$2000, special order only, 4 week delivery (we build them to order)
It's gotta be the most adjustable thing out there (or so I claim)
Plush, plush, plush...I have no interest in pedalling platform/spv/whatever.....
light, stiff, strong 7075 billet excersize in CNC goodness. For example, 7075 tubes are not available, so we made our own internal and externally butted tubes from solid round. Silly machining porn. Why? 7075 is way stronger than 6061 and especially the cast legs of production forks.
NO RELATION to Stratos. Nothing against them, but there is absolutely no similarity in design, internals, seals, bushings or function. And if you call it a hanathing, I will hunt you down...
Bottom line, very limited production, guaranteed you'll love it.
And here's a pic of the proto sc fork, just for the hell of it.

very sweet, whats the weight on longer travel versions? or is there one?
Sorry about the Stratos comment, typed before I thought. Isn't your fork kind of a hanathing?
If you come up wit ha QR system for the 20mm (ala Maxle), that would be really REALLY cool.
I like my 36 but the no-QR on XC/trail rides is starting to wear a little...

the proto is 5 lbs at 6 in travel.
I see how you are...
Axle clamping stiffness is kind of a priority, and you can't really get that without either pinch bolt dropouts or nut/bolt clamping force. I prefer the pinch bolts, because it's easier to make sure the fork legs are aligned.
I plan on running the single crown without a fork brace on the 26"/6" version, so stiffness in the crown and dropout are important.
I guess I've been running thru axles for everything for so long, I don't even think of a qr application. I guess what I'm saying is that isn't a high priority at the moment, but we'll always keep the option open.
jeezus that's totally effing gorgeous. Almost too nice to use.
I could never ride that unless it was already scratched up and ugly, it would break my heart.
so it's air sprung? wow.
