The Ohlins RXF34 m. 2 Air is built for the rider who covers ground fast on a lightweight 29er and needs a short-travel mountain bike front fork that keeps up without compromise. The closed-end outer tube and floating thru-axle work together to keep the chassis stiff and friction-free, so handling stays consistent lap after lap rather than drifting as the fork warms up. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The OTX18 damper is derived from Ohlins' TTX18 downhill and trail platform but comes in 27% lighter, so the fork tracks rough trail without adding dead weight to a fast 29er build."
