DVO Suspension suspension also springs at the rear

The young suspension manufacturer DVO Suspension, which has mainly emerged from veterans of the US division of Marzocchi, had previously only shown graphics and animations of the shock. Now Cedric Gracia, who rides the suspension elements as a DVO team rider, has a first example on his bike.

"Jade" is the name of the shock, which comes from the DVO forge and is equipped with a high and low speed setting for the compression stage, a "Bottom Out Control" and, of course, an adjustable rebound stage.

A special feature of the "Jade" damper is its "bladder" design. There is no O-ring seal in the damper's expansion tank, which separates the oil from the air. The air is enclosed in a "bladder" - a kind of mini-balloon - which is designed to offer less resistance to the incoming oil than if an O-ring had to overcome the breakaway torque.

In order to provide the damper with a pleasant operating climate, the expansion tank is also equipped with cooling fins, contrary to the initial sketches.

For the Taipei Cycle Show 2013 - Asia's largest bicycle trade fair - DVO also has a second color variant of the Emerald upside-down fork - in plain black

At the request of Ride, John Pelino from DVO cannot yet provide any details on the distributor solution in Switzerland, as the process of finding the respective distributors is still in full swing in several countries.
