The new air shaft compensates for slight tilting of the lowers under load, significantly reducing friction in the air piston. An increased bushing overlap of 30 mm reduces friction and ensures a smooth ride and optimal stability, especially at high speeds. Strategically placed material cutouts in the innovative arch and crown design provide maximum torsional stiffness and low weight, along with the Kabolt SL axle, which further contributes to weight reduction. The GRIP X cartridge has been specifically developed for trail and all-mountain use. With a lower weight than the GRIP X2, it offers an easy-to-use alternative with a firm setting (no lockout). Additionally, it features adjustable high and low-speed compression settings as well as a customizable rebound setting to tackle even the most demanding trails. Maximum tire width is up to 2.5 inches, and brake disc size ranges from 180 to 203 mm.
