All you care about is going downhill? You’re a heavy rider? Your riding style is uber aggressive? When someone asks you about the weight of your bike all you do is shrug? You are paranoid about USD being not stiff enough? You are the Rocky Balboa of Mountain Biking? You only ride the nastiest, steepest and roughest trails out there?
If you answer one or more of the questions above with a “yes”, you might be a candidate for the Flash.
With an even further reinforced upper part of the fork (in comparison to our already sturdy Edge model), you are getting the ultimate stiff & sturdy upside down fork, ready for anything you throw at it. This burly fork is made for riders who want the absolute upside down fork in terms of stiffness, stability and precision. It’s also a valid choice for a big hitting e-bike rig. By the way, the Flash35 won the German national enduro title in both, Women and Men categories 🏆
Our DH-ready damping and airspring provides an unmatched suppleness and a natural, predictable feel. In case you wish for more progression: Two bottom caps with alternate progression are in extent of delivery.
Our forks are especially easy to service and special tools are not required. Changing travel is also easily possible, no extra airshaft needed!
Technical data
Description
To prevent creaking in the chassis, we use high-strength Loctite to create a solid bond between the crown and tubes. This not only eliminates creaking, it also makes the chassis stiffer, because all movements between the parts are blocked. Can we promise that creaking never happens? No — but statistically, 99.98% of our forks are creak-free. That’s a result we’re proud of.
All of our bushings are pressed in by experienced hands — by mountain bikers themselves. Every employee knows: Build each fork as if it’s your own. Yes, manufacturing has tolerances — that’s nature — but by calibrating the bushings to each tube, we can eliminate mismatch and ensure each fork runs smoothly. You won’t find jamming or sticky movement in our forks.
Fork alignment has become a hot topic in recent years, with more suspension shops publicly inspecting major brands and exposing quality deviations – the nature of mass production. At Intend, we take a different approach. We treat every fork as an individual — and make sure it’s perfectly aligned. Parallel tubes. A fork bushing system should simply work like it’s intended: Flawlessly.
In the final step, we fill each fork with a special mix of Motorex Supergliss 32k and 68k oils. Not 12ml. Not 18ml. Exactly 15ml — every time. Proper lubrication ensures smooth performance from the first ride. No guesswork. No shortcuts.
