You enjoy lightweight bikes and descending just as much? Meet your perfect match - the Samurai XC
The Intend Samurai XC is our latest down country solution for riders who want an even lighter and cleaner front. Thanks to an updated crown design the size and weight of the dropouts have been reduced significantly. Apart from saving weight and looking clean and minimalistic this measure also reduces friction on the bushings due to a lesser amount of leverage, resulting in smooth performance and naturally less wear and tear. Ultimately this means you're getting a a product which simply works, encouraging you to ride more and worry less.
With only 1515g, the Samurai XC fork weighs in about 150 grams lighter than our Hero RD, which would be the next choice in the Intend line-up. For this fork we are utilizing the infamous Rock Shox Charger Raceday cartridge, which is an incredible, lightweight engineered piece of art.
How does the procedure for the Samurai XC look like?
For EU customers:
1. You acquire the RS cartridge at the dealer of your choice.
2. You send this cartridge to us, we assemble the fork into a finished product and ship it to you!
For non-EU customers:
1. You acquire the RS cartridge at the dealer of your choice, let the cartridge ship to YOUR place
2. You order a fork from us without cartridge and make the installation of the cartridge yourself. Tools you need are: 24mm socket and 4mm allen wrench.
Why? - If you order a cartridge in Germany, and we ship it out of EU, we would be responsible for possible warranty cases for the cartridge, because we are the one sending it out of EU. And we cannot fullfill responsibility for others components.
