Fork controls GO ANYWHERE. RIDE ANYTHING. From 100 mm to 160 mm of travel, CTD dampers (Climb, Trail, and Descend modes) are available in all 32 and 34 forks, including 26 inch, 29 inch and 650B models.
Climb. Trail. Descend. This integrated system makes it easy for your fork, shock, and seatpost to work together.
ADJUSTABLE TRAIL MODE
Once the lever is set to Trail mode, Factory Series forks allow you get an extra 3 clicks of Trail mode adjustability (soft, medium, and firm).

New for 2013
SUPER LIGHT FORK CHASSIS The lightest-ever FLOAT 26 and 29 forks are here with zero sacrifices in stiffness or performance. These short-travel forks (26 100/120 and 29 100) feature the same weight-saving engineering as the 34, resulting in unmatched torsional stiffness and trail performance. 26 INCH MODELS STARTING AT 2.98 LBS
All FLOAT 100/120 models receive the new super light chassis. The 100 (FIT CTD w/Trail adjust) model is the lightest to date at 2.98 lbs.

34 160 FLOAT & TALAS
MOUNTING HARDWARE
The 34 platform is now available additionally for 26 inch and 650B wheels and has extended to 160 mm of trail-eating travel. Each fork is equipped with a 15QR thru axle system and a 1.5-inch tapered steerer and crown. LIGHTER
Compared to its 36 160 big brother, the 34 160 is .47 lbs (213 g) lighter. (in lightest configuration for each Factory Series fork family)
STIFFER
Excellence is in the details. The main contact point of shock-and-frame has been redesigned to offer big benefits. LESS FRICTION
The new resin hardware reduces friction by nearly 50% compared to traditional mounting hardware, allowing the shock to respond faster to all linkage movements.
LOWER AXLE-TO-CROWN
To maintain high stiffness for superior handling, the 34 160 is equipped with a 15QR thru axle lower leg and a lightweight 1.5-inch crown/steerer.
The axle-to-crown height is 7.4 mm shorter (compared to the 36 160) for optimal frontend geometry and quick, snappy handling.

FLOAT AIR SPRING CURVES SMARTER TRAVEL
Our ultimate goal with the FLOAT air spring is to mimic the linear curve of a coil spring. The secret to achieving near-perfect linear spring curves, while maintaining bottom-out resistance in each travel setting, is focusing on both ends of the fork’s travel path. The result:
FLOAT LARGE VOLUME AIR SLEEVE & EYELET LIGHTER
2013 air spring curve 2012 air spring curve coil spring linear curve
» less initial breakaway force FORCE
By removing unnecessary parts, the large-volume, integrated air sleeve and eyelet design reduces weight by approximately .08 lbs / 37 grams (average weight savings compared to an equivalent XV sleeve).
COOLER AND CONSISTENT
The air spring performs more consistently and velocity air damping is reduced compared to traditional multi-piece extra volume designs.
INTEGRATED
The eyelet is an integral part of the new large volume sleeve. All the air volume normally found in an XV sleeve is now contained in the eyelet itself.
