looks eye-wateringly expensive!
I'm hoping it's not some proprietary axle.
Brand new reverse threaded 22.4mm backwards offset axle?
The hub is 110x15mm.
Still have no idea what predictive steering is.

Gee - have you got more on that apart from the bloke stating it as fact in the Bikerumor comments I linked to above?
who cares what the axle is? hope/dt/everyone will (apart from chris king - where my xx1 freehub?) will have a conversion for current hubs available within days
hang on, its pictured with the hub, will come with a hub, so what about the axle says, will require a rebuild thats it

A Hans Dampf doesn't fit with it being a short travel XC race fork...
Smallish rotors. Xc pedals. 1x11.
Screaming 120ish to 140ish travel trail fork so far.
What size wheels that?

I'll tell you in a minute, just as soon as I've killed a kitten.
I like the look of that, nothing to interfere with the down tube. Wireless lockout?
Looks like a camber frame? 120mm probably? Doesn't look beefy enough for a 140mm 9er fork.
Aracer, genuinely laughing at that! And now trying to explain why to Mrs CFH.
Some of us are still running 120mm travel upside down forks on our trail bikes from the last time they were the next big thing, c.2002! Must admit that one above is likely to be a shade lighter than my shivers though.
If I was right about the 32mm stanchion, then those stanchions are exactly 100mm long.
I based the 32mm stanchion on the very top of the steerer being 31.75mm (1.125")
Knowing what state the guards are like on mine, I'm not sure I'd want USD forks without.
Would be amusing if RS went all 20mm Axel after everyone converted to 15mm cod we were told that was stiff enough
Of course if so it's even more like the marzocchi RAC - how stiff were they ?, it'd loved to have owned one back in the day
solves stock control, how complicated would it be to create a 26/650b/29 fork from that starting point. Far easier than having to cast a variety of lowers.
Could there perhaps be a 25mm axle for this? Seeing it on a Spesh makes me wonder.......

I am sure someone can figure out a bit more based on the tapered steerer.
It's an XC race fork.
Pointless from a performance perspective but looks cool I guess.
It's an XC race fork.
Possibly; look at the spec of the bike pictures above though. Small (?160mm) rotor fits with that, but the tyre choice doesn't.
Scoops of mud clearance but nowhere to run a bender fender. I'll never be able to afford one anyway.
Looks like a 2014 S-works camber 29er.

So 110mm travel (frame). Agree the choice of Hans Dampf is a bit weird for that bike.
Maybe the tyre is just to show off the clearance.
Naah the tire is because journo's are going to test the fork and they would look at you like you had two heads if you put a low profile 2" tire on there regardless of the design intent.

Wasn't it MBR that used to put High Rollers on [i]everything[/i], regardless of design intent?
Isn't it just the same maxle as the new Pike - revised 15mm. Looks identical.
Whys a hans weird on the front of a camber? I run one on the front of a tallboy

That would make sense, but there again, why do they need to provide a new hub if it's a standard 15x100mm?

It's not really an XC tyre, is it?
Doesn't grab me aesthetically and the idea of unprotected stanchions doesn't seem great but it would be very interesting to know the finer details.
The only questions that matters is... is revolutionising forks going to be as successful for SRAM as there foray in to revolutionising road brakes? 😐
XO trail brakes and SRAM roam wheels don't point towards 'XC race' either. I'm reckoning 140mm trail, where the rev currently sits.
Something no-on seems to of caught on to yet...
What ISN'T there at the bottom?

As in? It's not clear where the adjusters are...
Bring back memories of the Halson Inverions I had in 1994 8) hopefully they will have more than 50mm travel!

Nope - Look at a "normal fork, look at what is there ALL TOGETHER then think about what the "isn't" on this fork...
Fittings for a stanchion guard, at least not that I've seen.What ISN'T there at the bottom?

[confused]There's no arch, but then you'd not necessarily expect there to be on a USD fork[/confused]

Way to fasten wheel, check.
Place for brakes, check.
You looking for mudguard eyelets?
Canti bosses!
A crown race?
Does this mean they'll be loads of cheap Pikes about next year as we'll no doubt be told they're sh*t compared to these?
Will we also get thread after thread of people refusing to even consider upsidedown forks?
😐
Unsprung mass you heathens.....
A "normal" fork has to control the movement of not only the wheel BUT the lowers, internals, etc AS WELL
This way there is as little as 1/5th of the unstrung mass needing to be controlled as there is only the wheel, axle and mounts to control.
Lighter mechanical, lighter springs, faster reacting, better damping, etc, etc, etc.....
Why do you think Ohlins, Marzocchi, Showa, Kayaba, etc have done forks like this for 20yrs on MX, Race and Road?
Unless the elite of STW's world class engineers know better than the top 5% of the worlds best suspension experts?
