FORMULA FORKS SPECIAL SOFT COMPRESSION KIT (GOLD)

Tuning your fork has never been so straight-forward. With the Compression Tuning System (CTS) you can fine tune your suspension quickly with extreme accuracy. You decide what’s the best setting for your fork and you set it up by yourself in five minutes, in your workshop. Freedom is now
in you hands.

With CTS technology we’ve brought the evolution of mountain bike suspension to a new level of precision and reliability. Each time we work on the development of a new technology we follow two guidelines: 1) having maximum customization; 2) ease of use. With the Compression Tuning System we’ve achieved the perfect combination of both these requirements. Normally, when you buy a new fork and you want a custom tuning to suit your riding style, you have to look to a third party for help. This often involves increased costs as well as a voiding of the guarantee in most cases. With the CTS we’ve managed to revolutionize how the customization of mountain bike forks is approached.Thanks to a range of seven valves for customizing your fork, you too will be able to find the optimal setting for your riding requirements. An obvious advantage of this system is that using different valves is like having more than one forks, each one appropriate for different situations

The CTS range consists of seven valves that transform the way your fork behaves. These are not modifications effected through the use of traditional external controls.

The CTS valve is a fundamental structural part of the hydraulic cartridge, changing the valve means changing the cartridge itself, modifying fork’s behaviour

The seven CTS valves in our range cover all areas of mountain bike use. All this with unprecedented simplicity in installation: you can change the fork setting without working on the internal parts, without even having to take the fork off the bike

Every situation has its own specifics. For example, the settings on a fork used for everyday runs is not always suitable for a race situation. Now with the CTS system you can reach a level of customization that was previously unimaginable.

Our range of CTS valves consists of three REGULAR valves (blue, red and grey), three SPECIAL valves (green, orange and gold), and one SPECIAL E-Bike valve (light blue). Thanks to this wide range of choice, all riders will be able to cover every type of specific requirement.

With CTS technology the age of costly and complicated suspension personalization has come to a definitive end. From now on, you too will be able to tune your fork with extreme precision. This is the CTS: maximum customization, extreme freedom, all in your hands.

The gold Special Soft (SS) valve has also been designed to be firmer at low and medium compression speed. This is a valve that was planned specifically for use in cross country racing. With the gold SS valve you have the maximum of support for a sudden burst on the pedals, or for an uphill stretch that means you’re out of the saddle. This support in no way compromises general comfort, the fork continues to have a smooth, never sudden progression, remaining comfortable right up to high compression speed. Comfort is an important element in stamina disciplines. Managing not to tire forearms and upper limbs is very important in remaining efficient throughout the entire duration of the race, and for this reason a firm fork, but one that is still comfortable, is the foundation of a good performance. As well as cross country racing, the Special Soft is appropriate for light riders who are looking for a more aggressive tuning or expert riders who don’t want to make big compromises at high compression speed and who want a feeling of infinite travel in the central part. All this, however, without compromising on the sensation of firmness provided by the fork.
