Diamond For The Rough. In a time where standards are being reinvented every day, it's important to look through the clutter to find clarity. Find out what's actually here to stay and make an impact. We start with a simple question: What's going to improve the product and rider? The new Diamond has a host of features to cater to the aggressive rider who demands more. We gave the fork a top to bottom chassis overhaul with 10mm wider BOOST spacing that amplifies steering precision and control in the moments of "ultimate shred". We also increased the tire clearance, allowing you to utilize a bigger tire and still have clearance for mud. Six clicks of low-speed compression give quick access to firming up the fork for pedaling, opening up for descending, and mid settings for everything in between. Over thirty clicks of High-Speed Compression give precise control for support on big hits. Shim stack controlled rebound that is 100% dynamic which means the rebound is controlled based on the speed at which oil flows through the system. The fork will react to what you throw at it and be ready for what's next. Our industry-exclusive OTT feature really sets DVO products apart from anything else. It allows you to perfectly fine-tune how the initial stroke feels without any mid/end stroke compromise. You really get the best of both worlds. Combining the stiff chassis characteristics with our exclusive features and damping design gives our forks a unique ride feel unlike anything else on the market. - D1 Damper - Compression Bladder - OTT Off the Top Adjuster - Shim Stack Controlled Damping

Featuring 37mm stanchions and our Reverse Arch design the Mezzer Pro is the stiffest Enduro fork on the market… it’s also the lightest. How did we manage to accomplish this you ask? Well, it’s not hollow if that’s what you're wondering. In fact, this fork is loaded with technologies such as a fully sealed MC² damper, our proven Dorado air spring, and the life-changing IRT volume adjuster. What does all this mean? It means you no longer need to pick two, you can have the lightest, stiffest, and incredibly adjustable fork all at once. Key Features: - 37mm stanchions, Reverse Arch design, and Hexlock SL2 axle combined together result in ultimate stiffness - Originally developed for the Dorado down-hill fork, the Dorado Air Spring offers ultimate sensitivity featuring a self-equalizing negative air spring. When inflating the fork both the positive and negative air chambers are filled simultaneously equalizing the pressures to create an incredibly supple feel - IRT (Infinite Rate Tune) volume adjuster allows control over the mid-stroke support and bottom-out progressivity independent from the initial spring rate to independently tune small bump sensitivity and big-hit performance - Sealed MC² damper provides a range of blow-off thresholds to satisfy any requirement with separate high-speed and low-speed adjustments. Utilizing a bladder, our new sealed cartridge maintains damping consistency in the most severe riding conditions. •140mm to 180mm internally adjustable travel in 10mm increments (travel spacers included) •27.5” and 29” wheels •Integrated flexible fender can be installed/removed by three small screws threaded into the arch of the fork Product Details: - 37mm stanchions Reverse-Arch design and Hexlock SL2 axle for the ultimate stiffness - Fully adjustable IRT air spring to fine-tune ride feel - Sealed MC2 damper provides a range of blow-off thresholds to satisfy any requirement with separate high-speed and low-speed adjustments - 140mm to 180mm internally adjustable travel in 10mm increments (travel spacers included) - Integrated flexible fender can be installed/removed by three small screws threaded into the arch of the fork

Legends Never Die Back in a big way, the all-new Dorado Pro is ready to turn the suspension world upside down. Featuring an inverted design, carbon upper structure, 37mm stanchions, and refreshed internals the new Dorado Pro is the pinnacle of suspension technology. The new stiffer chassis is paired with an all-new sealed version of our TPC+ damper and improved Dorado Air Spring with an IRT volume adjuster. These technologies combined into one ultimate platform provide more than enough tunability to satisfy any savvy suspension tuner while being so easy to adjust that every rider can dial in their fork with ease. Key Features: - Carbon Fiber Legs and the 37mm chassis result in the stiffest and lightest Dorado to date. The carbon pro chassis is 27% stiffer than the previous 36mm version and 238g lighter than the new 37mm Expert version. They also have looks that can kill. - Inverted Design provides an incredibly smooth and consistent feel due to constant lubrication of the bushings and seals. The inverted design also provides a major increase in fore-aft stiffness compared to traditional forks while maintaining torsional compliance which provides more control to the rider over rough terrain. - Dorado Air Spring system contains a unique balancing valve that equalizes the positive and negative air chambers during the air-fill process resulting in a consistent feel without any flat or dead spots. It also allows easy Travel Adjustability from 180 to 190 and 203mm without the need for any spare parts. - IRT (Infinite Rate Tune) allows for advanced spring tuning by independently adjusting air pressures in the beginning and end stroke. IRT technology creates a secondary positive air spring that affects only the middle-to-end stroke of the fork. This allows the main air spring to be set to lower pressures for improved small bump sensitivity while maintaining mid-stroke support and moderate to aggressive end-stroke ramp-up. - Sealed TPC+ is a velocity and position-dependent damping circuit that maintains light damping through small bumps when the fork is high in its travel. As the fork compresses deeper in the travel the secondary TPC+ circuit engages and increases the damping force for added support and bottom-out prevention. Additionally, an independent Hydraulic Bottom-out circuit further increases the damping force in the final 30mm of travel to soften deep travel events and prevent hard bottom-out. The new cartridge design with spring-backed IFP fully seals damper oil for the most consistent damping on long demanding DH runs. Spring-backed IFP has improved performance during extreme riding, unlike a bladder an IFP pressurizes the oil at the initial stroke eliminating any cavitation for the most consistent damping. - Fits both 29" and 27.5" wheels. Markings on the outer legs indicate the proper clamping point for the ideal axle to crown measurements depending on wheel size. The fork legs can be used with both wheel sizes. - Two Crown Options are available with this fork. The 47 offset is designed to work with 27.5" wheels and intended axle to crown. The 57 offset crown is designed for 29" wheels and axle to crown. For those looking to run the lower offset crown with 29" wheels please reference our fit document to see if your headtube length is compatible. - TSR Bleed buttons allow you to release excess pressures built up in the outer legs of your fork with a simple tap of the button. This keeps your fork smooth and supple all day long. Product Details: - 37mm 6000 Series Aluminum stanchions with carbon fiber legs - Externally Adjustable: high-speed compression, low-speed compression, and rebound - Dorado air spring with IRT (Infinite Rate Tune) volume adjuster allows the rider to adjust mid-stroke support and bottom-out progressivity independent of initial spring rate - TPC+ Damper with HBO (Hydraulic Bottom Out) - TSR Bleeders - Includes removable bolt-on fender

KEY FEATURES - 27.5” is 20g less than the previous model. - Over 19% stiffness increase from the current 27.5" 160mm to the new 27.5" 150mm. 29" Stiffness increases are higher. - Expert air allows for internal travel adjustments with no added parts. New travel spacers account for negative air volume change, so the 110mm fork has the same initial stroke feel as the 150mm - Expert Air spring systems contain a unique balancing valve that equalizes the positive and negative air chambers during the air fill process. This gives the spring rate a consistent feel without any flat or dead spots in the stroke, along with giving riders of different weights the same initial stroke feel. Expert Air has identical performance to DoradoTM Air in a more cost-effective package. - Incremental Volume Adjust (IVA) modifies the volume in the positive air chamber with self contained spacers dictating the position of the IVA piston. This allows the main air spring ramp-up to be tuned to the rider's weight, style, and conditions without the need for additional parts. - A single external compression adjuster that simultaneously adjusts HS and LS damping characteristics. It features a fixed shim stack and a secondary shim stack that is preloaded by the external adjuster. The resulting wide tuning range combines the benefits of a low-speed platform and high-speed progressive tune can suit any terrain. - Trail Side Relief casting bleed screws allow users to release casting pressure from the fork. Casting pressure increase is normal, and extreme riding can increase the pressure at a fast rate. Temperature and elevation changes can also cause increased casting pressure. Releasing casting pressure can improve overall fork feel and small bump compliance.
