DVO Emerald Downhill Fork


THEY MAY BE new to the scene, but DVO’s inverted 203mm (8in) travel, air sprung downhill fork, the Emerald, has certainly put them on the ‘must have’ product radar.

Get past the visually striking ‘upside down’ design, with its tapered, CNC machined upper legs and Carbon fibre Torsion Arch, and you’ll find a twin-tube open bath damper with externally adjustable high- and low-speed compression, rebound and negative spring.

The forged magnesium 20mm dropouts, two colour choices, and 26in and 650b wheel options only help to make the Emerald one of the most eagerly anticipated gravity products of 2014.

PRICE: 2805$
