Descend faster. Corner harder. Climb higher. Win more.
Ocho is a different kind of XC race fork. It has the smoothest action of any fork, thanks to its near frictionless needle-bearing internals and advanced damper. Climb-crushing speed from its incredibly low weight. And supremely confident, precise handling from having the best overall stiffness in its class. Ocho is different. And in a sport ruled by incremental gains, that makes a big difference.
THE SMOOTHEST SUSPENSION FORK EVER MADE
Technology
Delta Cage Needle Bearings
Rather than sliding on bushings like all other forks, Ocho rolls smoothly on three connected sets of needle bearings. No friction, no stiction, just the smoothest suspension action available anywhere.
Triangular Telescope
Ocho’s three-sided needle-bearing interface keeps the inner leg from rotating within the outer leg, for uncanny steering precision.
Chamber Damper
A self-bleeding, heat-compensating, high-flow damper, with external compression and rebound adjustment. Smooth, supple, spike-free damping in all conditions.
StopLock Brake Mount
Self-aligning brake mount removes with a push of a button and the turn of a 5mm wrench, for quick, easy wheel removal.
OutFront Offset
Ocho’s longer-than-average fork offset (rake) - 55mm for 29”, 50mm for 27.5” – is the perfect match for the slacker head angles of today’s XC rigs, improving steering response and enhancing stability and control.
Remote Lockout
For full-gas efficiency, a simple, reliable cable remote engages the fork’s lockout platform at the push of a handlebar-mounted lever.
