The Intend Hero is built to fit into modern trail bikes. It is designed to be as light as possible without making compromises in performance since it is utilizing the same airspring and damping as our more gravity oriented models. No matter which type of trails you prefer, the Hero will happily have it for breakfast.
Our DH-ready damping and airspring provide 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!
Lightweight and capable is the bottom line of the Intend Hero – For all the trail heroes out there.
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.
