Samurai 32
32" XC FORK
The hype is real!
Is 32″ the next big thing? Who knows, the buzz is certainly there and so are we. Since we adapted the Samurai platform to fit a 32″ wheels it has been shown off on several shows and prototype bikes throughout the past two years and we’re happy to announce that it’s now also available for purchase. Like the “small” 29″ Samurai XC, the Samurai 32 is available in two options:
1. New Energizer cartridge which combines the DH-ready Opt damping of the bigger forks with a 3-position lockout system.
2. RS Charger Raceday adapter: With this option you can install the RS Charger Raceday cartridge which makes the fork even lighter. Disclaimer: Max travel = 120mm!!!

Your expectations for a high-end suspension fork are simple:
Creak-free upper unit.
Precise chassis with smooth, flush-fitting bushings.
Perfect alignment — no jammed tubes.
Proper lubrication.
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 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.
Every single fork is built as if it were going to be our own.
