MEET THE FLASH - FREUDENHAMMER LTD EDITION

This fork is the maximum you can get. The differences to Intend Edge are: A rocksolid, not drilled out crown, a thicker steerer (3mm instead of 2mm on the upper end, 6 instead of 3 at the lower end), and bigger wall thickness for the disc side lower stanchion. If you want to plow through the nastiest trails, this is your fork.

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, Edge, Flash 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 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.

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”.

Where can I test this fork?

… will come !
