In diesem Kapitel erläutern wir die Technologien, die der Hersteller bei diesem Produkt einsetzt.
3Air
The 3Air is the technological heart of the Nero R. The fork features a three air chamber system: Gold (end-stroke progressivity), Silver (positive) and Bronze (negative). The use of this technology allows full customisation of the spring curve. The big advantage is not only to be able to shape the forks performance the finest amount, but also to do it quickly and easily. Thanks to the 3Air system, you will be able to accurately adjust your fork without taking it of the bike, without using tools, without having to use internal air volume spacers; all you will need is a shock pump.
HEX - Hexagon Design
The ability of a fork to resist flexing is a key factor for maximum riding precision. A fork that rebounds too fast may make riding unsafe with an overall lack of control, above all when braking and cornering. In the same way, it is important that the fork is not too stiff, because it may make riding too tiring. When designing the Selva R we had a fundamental aim in mind, finding the perfect balance point between stiffness and flex, this is the same as our standard forks. Thanks to the Hexagon Design, the natural flex of the fork has been dramatically decreased with this lightweight method. In this way, Formula has managed to combine the advantages of the standard boost with the stiffness of a traditional fork.
NeoPos
Neopos is a technology that represents the next evolutionary step in air suspension, a cutting-edge innovation that will change your riding experience for the better. Neopos stands for new positive, a technology that improves the behavior of the forks positive air chamber. Using the Neopos the result will be a more constant, predictable and comfortable air suspension. Meaning, more like that of a coil spring suspension comfort.
IFT - Internal Floating Technology
The IFT (Internal Floating Technology) is what truly differentiates our forks from any other fork. Smoothness is very important in terms of suspension performance. After many tests on stanchion coatings, they now know that they have a minimal effect on reducing friction. With the IFT Formula wanted to approach this aspect from a very different point of view. All forks, regardless of their stiffness, experience some kind of lateral stress while riding. This type of stress increases the friction of the internal parts. Thanks to Formulas design, our hydraulic cartridge is structurally merged with the stanchions and lower legs. In a riding situation, our internals compensate for the external stresses placed on the fork. This causes an incredible reduction of friction.
FIRM Locking System
Downhill forks are constantly exposed to an extraordinary amount of stress, especially in the thru-axle area: Nero fork is fitted with a new locking system called Firm. When designing it, the aim was to make wheel changes quick and easy, getting rid of multiple screws on the lowers, and at the same time offering the maximum stiffness. The Firm system centres on a 20mm thru-axle that is secured by a counter-knob that is tightened after the axle is installed and prevents the axle from unscrewing, providing maximum security and minimum weight.
