It really is the best! Because of your reviews I purchased a Flash 190mm for my Norco Range 6 months ago. The performance is outstanding! Very supple yet so supportive through the whole travel, it blows every Fox 40 and Boxxer i have owned out of the water. You should do another single vs dual crown test but with the Intend Flash vs Intend Infinity

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

Great to hear!

[@stefannewels1823]

How much do I like Cornelius's work Ethics amd Execution? A LOT ! SCREAM...MONSTER... VROOMVROOM ✌🕴🏼

[@FINNdeischgut]

The Intend Edge, Hero and Flash have now been upgraded. There is now also the Blackline with high-quality protectors if you prefer to ride with protectors. The internal friction has been reduced again, the damper cartridge has been improved and you can now adjust the travel in 1mm increments without having to take the suspension fork apart. So the Flash from 160 to 190mm, the Hero from 150 to 180mm and the Edge from 140 to 170mm. I think you would really like the new Edge or Hero too, maybe even a little bit better, even though the "old" version is already incredibly good. Maybe Intend will send you one to test so you can do a review. Intend made a video on KZbin where all the new features were explained. In German though, but there are English subtitles 👍

[@TheMTBRider96]

you mixed up Edge and Hero with the travel range

[@jirikominek7893]

I agree, Intend is the best performing fork out of the box, but have you tried the Avalanche damping cartridge?

[@danielgrafik]

What a nice description and review.

[@TheMTBRider96]

I know you said that you’ve tried everything. Does that includes the bright fork? I’d be curious as they are the 2 usd forks in the market The rrt intend in dark grey that was on Aston competition was the best thing I’ve ever seen

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

101% tested

[@andrearomeo8089]

​@@RULEZMANSUSPENSION What you didn't like about the bright fork?

[@alexanderkohler4903]

This is your best Video i have See!😊

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

I am in love with some of the dream build videos actually...but if I have to name one that is for sure "Single VS Dual crown for enduro" 🥰

[@8Slim4]

What i love on intend edge is the ease of service and the fact that gettign bushing and other parts will be easy as those are industry standard. Yes it costs a lot but its definitely a fork that you will have no problem to fix in 20 years which i cant realy say about other fork manufacturers.

[@philhunt1442]

what do you think of the samurai xc?

[@gabbiano6883]

Ciao! Avrei un paio di domande. Se hai usato i parasteli per tutto il tempo di prova vuol dire che questa forcella non mi "garantirebbe" una tenuta sull olio senza usare i suddetti. Giusto? E poi ti volevo chiedere se hai già testato qualcosa del genere per una Cross Country. Grazie sei forte!👍🏼

[@PUSHIndustriesInc]

Inverted huh? 😉😊

[@8Slim4]

Your competition especialy in Europe

[@asifitmatters1]

[@antoanangelov5672]

​@asifitmatters1 its the same with intend bro

[@punkybeerconsumer]

Will you be testing the Push USD fork when it’s released?

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

I usually test everything: if not how can I say what the best is?

[@istina27852]

Hello,Intend newbie here😊just to ask why there is no grease in forks,oil only?In air shaft seals too?. Is that recommended for other manufactures too?

[@hugosxm]

Nice point of view ! Did you tried fast suspension product from France ?

[@jacksondaniels8169]

Ok, it’s a reason dirt bike and many sport type bikes use inverted forks. It’s far superior to the current fork design. It’s only a matter of time before inverted will be the standard layout.

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

TRUE

[@DK-wd8ju]

How does the mezzer rank compared to usd and regular forks

[@collinmcballin]

PORCHE 911 TURBO That's all you needed to say!! Hahahaha And the quick photo was a cherry on top ♥

if you have one, take me for a ride🍻

[@stevesguitarschool3654]

Mountain biking: serious business 😂

[@BiecherBender]

Have you tested the flash as well? What would you recommend for a rider that is around 12kg heavier? Still the edge or rather the flash? Thank you for your review btw!

[@derKischda]

Cornelius did an FAQ video in which he said that one of their staff members that also test rides the forks weighs +120 kg so weight shouldn't be a problem for you.

[@BiecherBender]

@@derKischda yes i got the Edge for two months now and its excellent.

[@artysa.blackwood4261]

USD designs are so much better, not only the ride quality, but the stanchions are protected, in my mtb i am always worried about rocks and the stanchion, while in my moto, i dont even think about it. Intend dont get it, but gladly you do (talking of the stanchion guards).

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

I grew on motos!!! I know the concept

[@markusbrunner9170]

Also love to support brands like intend and people like Cornelius who just live their work and the performance and customers count. Not just pure numbers, your a customer and i guess Cornelius wont just say ok its my product and your problem, yeah the problem is well known, but we dont have to fix it basically... Sendet my lupine light back to them cause a broken cable and told them, it was my fault cause of a crash and they changed the glass, the cabel for free on a 7year old light. A customer of mine had a n issue with his and they asked if he wants an led uprade to the a acual one, repleced akku and led burners for and send it back - the only thing we paid, was to send it to them. And heard a a lot of similar things from intend. In my opinion just this thing in combination with a good bit way from perfect product has its own worth. They will do whats possible to fix your problem in a really fair or more than fair way instead of saying: 2 years are over, we know the problem, bur now it's yours

[@markusbrunner9170]

Sorry, i'm nit the best if it's about to write things like this in English. It's technical, it's emotional, especially after a lot of disappointments with bigger, wenn known brands which don't even know which forks are exactly behind them after telling you this product don't exist while it's just 1m behind him. Would never happen to people who think like Cornelius Hopefully i will get the chance to ride it my next Bike

[@paul.p.smellthetruth2667]

Have you already tried their nee airspring Upgrade and can Tell how good the improvement is?

[@rubbermoetroken]

Great vid, wants me to ditch my Ohlins setup (in an Sworks Enduro) and throw the Infinity Dual crown + Opt shocker into it 🙂

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

RRT custom full kit is on top of everything, people say

[@IDoBlues]

You've been such a huge advocate of the Dorado for quite a while. It's also upside down. Sounds like the fork you compared the Intend directly to (back-to-back) was a "normal" fork (did I get that right?). How does the Intend compare directly to the Dorado? What's the difference in feel? What's makes it better than the Dorado in your opinion?

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

man... we can not compare a 3 kg fork VS 2.1 kg! - DH VS enduro - SC vs DC !

[@IDoBlues]

@@RULEZMANSUSPENSION Fair point!

[@trentvlak]

It's probably a Mezzer.

[@nikolasdomin8718]

Do you see a reasonable difference between axle diameters on one crown intend forks? Is traditional 15mm enough or should one consider to move to 20mm to get more stiffness?

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

I do not see any difference, rather than having only troubles swapping wheels if my fork use 20mm axle while 99% of friends and other mine bikes use 15mm.

[@ROSE-by5su]

Do you also tune Freeride type suspension (huck flat,gap,big jumps etc..) or just purely for racing

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

anything

[@hartspunken4830]

[@Le_person_au]

2 years of testing to say. Fork is number one, sticks to the ground and easy to service 🤦🏻‍♂️ this isn’t a review nearly said nothing about internals (air,coil dampener type and adjustability) fork construction and where it’s made. It’s weight etc. I understand I’m being harsh here but we want details when you watch a review

[@paul.p.smellthetruth2667]

What do you rhink only about the intend Edge DAMPING vs a fox or rockshox?

[@euanholmes3839]

I believe it uses a Rockshox damper....

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

nope. my RRT intends are built using a CUSTOM modified bladder-sealed damper from manitou mezzer pro.

[@euanholmes3839]

@@RULEZMANSUSPENSION Good to know, I have a Mezzer currently, and loving the damping! I got confused, it's the Intend Hero XC forks which uses the RS Sid Raceday damper.

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

@euanholmes3839 no, it is not. Intend hero edge and flash have intend damper.

[@paul.p.smellthetruth2667]

@@euanholmes3839 First model Hero XC.....Not anymore

[@sloops4398]

3 Forks without problems does say nothing if they are good or bad. Therefore you need way more forks. Also adding some protection to a nearly 2.000€ fork seems not the best price/ value.

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

my feedback about quality is evaluated on hundreds of clients reports , add to my personal experience . buy a Showa kit A motocross fork so you will learn how much is the right price for a high perfomance fork.

[@paul.p.smellthetruth2667]

Intend is around For several years in Germany. There are No Common Problems With those forks for some years. Far more reliable and less quirks than Other forks. They Just work vere smooth, sensitive and stable

How about Intend Samurai vs Lefty Ocho?

the Samurai is a great XC fork.

For inverted Intend is the current best. Two upcomming brands are xomming out KS and PUSH

we will se what future brings : I believe ALL brands with switch to USD sooner or later.

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

from RULEZMAN.

[@olejohnnyprestbakken1145]

I might not be allowed to ask, but there is actually important to say that not all people are so good trained and light weight like you. That means that a heavy guy, like myself, probably twice the weight of you are not close to get the same performance out of an USD fork. That is just a fact due to the mechanic architecture of the USD vs standard fork.

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

I have some client at 115 kg kitted riding the intend EDGEs on ebikes with stunning results and fun, but for sure a heavy beefy dual crown (USD - dorado37 i.e. ) would give you a little more stiffness if this is what you look for.

[@olejohnnyprestbakken1145]

@@RULEZMANSUSPENSION I see that. Always curious about the Dorado, but really satisfied with my Ohlins DH 38....The Dorado with 46mm or so offset is possible?

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

47 mm yes

[@rarelycomments]

That doesn't make any sense. If anything USD should be better for heavier riders. Look at MX bikes, universally USD. They worked out decades ago that "Traditional" forks can't cope with the loads and forces in MX.

[@RULEZMANSUSPENSION]

thruth bro. this is why I push so much USD concept in mtb, a market 35 years late, still late:(

[@ianiscaratti4924]

interessting how you proposing to borrow a fork from cornelius and buy it if it is good is a terrific deal but when I ask you for the same deal or even better you aren't confident enough to make this deal.

maybe because you're a nobody?
