what nick said. the bottoms aren't visible in any of the shots, which is likely on purpose.

You twiddle knobs in motion? Should be easily adjustable, you'll just havE to reach further.
Lots of clearance up at the top there...far more than the exposed stanchion. I'm still thinking 29x3.

So assuming that's an Sworks Stumpy, these should be around 130-140mm travel?
Not too sure if you're making fun of me...
I meant the compression adjustment...especially for a trail fork. I agree the rebound is pretty much set and forget. The spring rate as well for that matter.
I like to play with the comp adjustment during a ride and I also like not having to dismount and crouch to access the dials.

Holy crap, that looks EXXXXPENSIVE!
$2000 dolaar forks on the way sometime soon...

The fact that the bike in this pic has Hans Dampf tires on it makes me think it might be a little more than an XC fork. Not too many Shavers I know would run the HD's on their svelt XC sleds.
I really hope you are correct on this...would be a really frickin cool fork for my trail bike...i'd be a guinea pig on this one for sure.
thats a Camber 110 mm rear travel
i was, you didn't mention which knobs you like to play with while riding and i think every fork on the market with adjustable comp and rebound has one or the other down low.
Funny.

I'd think it's a douchey mid level speed product precisely because of those dirt jump tires on there.
has anyone seen any travel numbers on these rumoring around? if that photo is max travel it really is a very very xc. I wonder if it will be a 29 only fork...
ha dj tires...
I like it, but i think lack of stanchion guards is asking for trouble...
I agree with you, some carbon guards seem to be key here...I would be suprised if they didnt offer them...maybe these photos are just showing without so folks can see what is going on under the covers.
So is this product ENDURO or not?
The red circle must be access to the adjustments. There is a cable coming out on the circle to the right.
Nah it's got a cable frenched into the plug. Follow the fork upper.
Crap right its F&*#I$ Enduro the knobbies on that are so hardcore! Not to mention its inverted that means it is like a MX bike! 3 foot deep whoops at 40 mph no problem and 120 foot triples here I come in my XC lid!
I am gonna STARVA the **** out of it and get all the trails in my area shut down by lawyers that also STRAVA themselves on the same said illegal trails on private land.

Im going to guess retail at $1500.
Despite my hatred of single-crown USD forks, this, being carbon, may actually work. Magnesium lowers are damn light, but the only thing that's lighter is carbon and it's probably not as easy to make a real carbon "normal" fork, as the brake arch doesn't lend itself easily for a hollow carbon structure. The weight savings may not be huge, but structurally it can probably do what needs to be done via the shape and curves to prevent independent leg movement, getting around the inherent problem of clamping a crown to a circular leg. I think the actual gains may be slight and the cost of engineering an adequately stiff single crown USD has got to be astronomical, but if you pour enough money into it, you can make anything fly (like the space shuttle).
I was wondering what RS was going to do with all the pike-sales money. The pike has got to be one of the biggest money makers for RS in the last 10 years, if not of all time.
brother?
Hahahahaha
i thought we already established that it was the $700 7spd dh grouppo?
If it has 140mm travel this could be the fork that finally gets the Maverick DUC off the front of my XC bike.
mmm $100 per speeeeeeed
I think they realized that they were going to sell exactly none of them as most people with a 10 speed cassette have figured out that 7 is less than 10 and no new drive-body would be required to subtract some gears. The same laws of subtraction can be applied to the old 9 speed stuff, and if there's anybody still running 8 speed, they can do it too.
The new fork pays for the brake recalls, and the new hub standard pays for the R&D on the 7 speed DH group.
Underrated, but super finicky, fork.
Funny you write that. After RayB's post I looked up info on that fork and started reading a thread on MTBR with you posting several long love notes about the fork.

I love this part:
I've been on one for a year now with no plans whatsoever to replace it. Someone brought up the twisting thing about the same time I got mine. Out of curiousity, I pedaled up a hill by my house, got to a full sprint downhill and slammed on the brake while watching the hub. It doesn't twist.
Braking no......
Drifting into rocks sideways while trying to hold a line.....hell yes
That fork was still pretty badass for what it was (like 2 ounces). If it had twisted less in that kind of situation, I'd probably still be riding it. Just like all inverted forks though....head on is all good, even superior. It's the other stuff.

it's possible that sram has developed their own version of the untwistpossible keyed interface, like x-fusion. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/X-Fusions-Revel-HLR-Interbike-2013.html
