Ohlins RXC34 m.1 Suspension Fork

While it is built for competitive cross-country racing, the 34mm stanchions and stiff chassis make it more than capable of handling technical trail riding. It strikes a balance between lightweight efficiency for climbing and the precision needed for aggressive descending.

The two-chamber air spring allows you to independently tune the initial sensitivity and the end-stroke progression. This means you can set it up to be supple over small bumps while still having enough bottom-out resistance for bigger hits.

The fork features a crown-mounted lockout, which is designed for quick on-the-fly adjustments during climbs or sprints. However, the high- and low-speed compression adjustments on the OTX14 damper are intended to be set before your ride based on the terrain.

This fork is designed for 29-inch wheels and uses a standard tapered steerer tube and 15x110mm Boost axle spacing, which covers the vast majority of modern cross-country and trail bikes. Just ensure your frame is compatible with a 120mm travel fork and a 44mm offset.

The RXC34 m.1 accommodates tires up to 66mm in width. This provides plenty of clearance for most modern cross-country tires, allowing you to run wider rubber for extra grip without worrying about mud buildup.

The fork weighs 1598 grams. This lightweight construction is a significant advantage for riders looking to shed weight from the front end of their bike without sacrificing the stiffness required for precise steering.
