This fork pushes the boundaries to a new level. Downhill bike or Enduro bike? We thought "Why not both?"
No more compromises! A bit more weight than competitive enduro forks, but performance on another level.
Attention: Limited stock!
Our DH-ready damping and airspring provides an unmatched subtleness and a natural, predictable feel. In case you wish for more progression: A volume spacer which can be installed in 2 positions is included.
Our forks are especially easy to service and special tools are not required. Changing travel is also easily possible, no extra airshaft needed! Just open the fork with your regular toolset of choice and adjust travel spacers.
For more information about service and travel adjustment check out the Tech section.

Dropouts used on Hero, Edge, Flash from 2022 are different and compatible with PM180 and PM203, both only in Boost.

Yes! You can put any 223mm rotor on Edge, Flash and Infinity forks.
Is it possible to change the axle diameter after purchase?
This is not possible any more since beginning of 2022. You can either buy a 20mm dropout or a 15mm dropout.

This option is not available.
What are the color options for Intend forks?
You can have any color as long as it is black anodized. We do not offer any other colors. Only black.
I’ve seen some different colors, do you offer these?
Color options other than black anodized are not available. The reason is, that anodizing in not-black causes so much troubles, that we cannot guarantuee a problem-free, nice looking product trough the whole range. When we sell products, we want to do it perfect, and need to skip all variations which are not “perfect”.
Where can I test this fork?
At the moment we have no test program. However, there are possibilities for the future.
What about torque cap compatibility?
All our forks are compatible with torque caps, except the Samurai models, due to their minimalistic dropouts.
