DT Swiss F 232 One Incontrol Lever 29" Boost Tapered Rake 51 mm fork

Made for the modern demands of XC - benchmark in stiffness to weight ratio.

Cross country has progressed – the descents are steeper, the climbs more technical and man-made obstacles such as rock gardens, berms and drops set new requirements for rider and machine. The F 232 ONE is engineered to meet those demands. The topology-optimized design sets a new benchmark in stiffness-to-weight ratio. Combined with the XC-optimized LINEAIR spring curve and the three-position INCONTROL damping, the F 232 ONE is ready to chase – whether for a podium or a personal best.

Features

• On-the-fly damping adjustment in three precise positions.
• Optimized layout of materials within a designed space for a specific set of loads and constraints.

Technologies

APT
The APT (Adaptable Progression Tune) system allows the rider to adjust the progression of the air spring curve by adding or removing volume spacers in the air chamber of the fork. This enables riders to adjust their spring curve to their riding style and the trails they are riding. The beauty of the system lies in the fact that the suppleness of the fork is unaffected, regardless of the setting chosen.

INControl
Compression damping is defined by the amount of oil which can flow in different channels. The smaller the channels, the higher the flow resistance and the higher the damping. INCONTROL damping provides on-the-fly damping adjustments offering the perfect compression tune for every riding situation by opening and closing different channels.

• In OPEN mode, the oil flows through the low- and high-speed compression channels. OPEN mode offers sensitivity and therefore a lot of traction. To meet all preferences, the adjustment needle allows the LSC channel to be closed in stages, increasing the LSC and resulting in a firmer feeling.
• DRIVE mode closes the LSC channel. All the oil flows through the HSC channel. The shims of the HSC open at a certain force, resulting in higher compression damping which reduces energy loss but maintains traction on rocky uneven uphills. Drive mode is not available for the F 535 fork.
• When LOCK mode is set, a slider closes the LSC and HSC oil channels. Ideal for sprinting situations on even tracks where maximum power transmission is key. A blow-off valve protects rider and equipment from unexpected hits.

LINEAIR
LINEAIR is a dual-air chamber system. Through the size of the air chambers and position of the bypass, the characteristic of the spring curve is specifically tuned to meet the needs of XC riders. A low breakaway force for traction, a linear but flatter mid-stroke section that allows you to float over root carpets and an end progression to eat the big hits.
The LINEAIR system consists of a bypass located in the air chamber. The bypass ensures that the pressure inside the negative air chamber is higher than in the positive air chamber when the fork is fully extended. This reduces the breakaway force.
