UPSIDE DOWN ENDURO BENCHMARK

The Intend Edge suspension fork is where it all started - the latest iteration combines years of development to get to a level of performance we’re proud of.
This one of a kind enduro oriented upside down fork will give you all the confidence you need for approaching your next race or going hunting for KOMs.
Extra sturdy legs and a reinforced crown support you with plenty of stiffness no matter the kind of trail or speed you're going down.

Our forks are especially easy to service and special tools are not required. Changing travel is also easily possible, no extra airshaft needed!

FAQ

Can I ride braided steel hoses (Stahlflexleitungen) on Intend forks?

This hoses are not 100% compatible to USD forks. they are weak and easy to bend. As the hose at a USD fork needs to slide through the upper guides, the use of steel braided hoses causes problems. That is why I recommend normal brake hoses, they work for 100%

What is the difference between steel & light axles?

20mm axles vary by weight and wall-thickness.

20mm Light 75g (recommended also for regular enduro use)

20mm Heavy 150g (recommended for hard/extreme heavy riders)

Is this fork available with black lower stanchions?

This option is not available.

Can I change the brake mounting standard after purchase?

Edge, Flash and Infinity forks until end of 2021 share the same dropouts. You can choose between 180mm boost and non-boost, as well as 203mm boost and non-boost.

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

Are 223mm brake mounts optional?

This option is not available. You can simply use normal brake adapters to make that combination work.

Are Intend forks safe to ride with 223mm rotors?

Yes! You can put any 223mm rotor on Edge, Flash, Bandit and Infinity forks.

Intend Samurai CC, XC and GR are only possible up to 203mm.

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.

Can I use a non-boost-hub?

Only on our Infinity forks, you can use 110×20 non-boost hubs, combined with the correct non-boost brake mount. 100x15mm hubs are possible with Boost-spacers.

Is it possible to get stanchion guards for this forks?

This option is not available.

Is it possible to change the travel after purchase?

Yes! You can easily adjust the stroke by adding or removing 10mm spacers.

Does the length of the fork change with adding or removing 10mm spacers?

Yes! By exactly 10mm.

Can I order this fork with a 1 1/8″ straight steerer or different offset ?

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”.

What about torque cap compatibility?

All our forks are compatible with torque caps, except the Samurai models, due to the minimalistic dropouts.
