Motion Engineering’s XElium: the 1.2 kg 120mm XC Linkage Fork

Motion Engineering has unveiled the XElium, a single‑sided, carbon monocoque 120 mm travel linkage fork that weighs about 1.2 kg with a Fox Float SL shock, and is claimed to be the lightest 120 mm XC fork. It uses a floating brake arm to counter dive, a curved axle path for stability, and a proprietary hub, with 29" wheels (120 mm) or 32" wheels (90 mm). Production hinges on 100 pre-orders, priced at €875 excluding VAT for pre-orders and rising to €1,250 after, with a two‑year warranty.

"EverFlow AirLink: Enhancing Fork Leg Volume for Effortless Full Travel Access"

EverFlow, an Italian manufacturer of suspension enhancing components, has developed the AirLink, a solution to reduce the aggressive ramp exhibited by some long-travel forks. By connecting the lower legs of the fork and allowing air to pass freely between them, the AirLink reduces the progressivity of RockShox and Fox forks. This enables riders to access the full travel of their forks more easily. The AirLink is compatible with the pressure relief valves of RockShox forks and the bleed valves of Fox forks, and it does not require any modifications to the fork. The EverFlow AirLink is available for €25, with an option to include a pressure relief button for €50.
