Ride reported on it back in November 2015, and now the Francophone fork from Motion France is likely to go into series production via a Kickstarter campaign a year late.

Two models are planned for the market launch of the Motion fork: The 29er version serves cross-country and all-mountain riders with 110 to 150 millimeters of travel, the targeted weight is 1.85kg, the front axle has an installation dimension of 15x110mm and a lockout from the handlebar is also included. The 29er version is also suitable for the 27.5 Plus format. The "Gravity" model has a wheel size of 27.5 inches, a suspension travel of 120 to 160 millimetres, an axle size of 15x110mm and a weight of around 1.85kg.

The variable suspension travel, the compression level and the adjustment to the rider's weight (in 5 kilo increments) are realized on both models by two external carbon slats, which should be easy to change. The manufacturer also promises very high stiffness and outstandingly sensitive fork response. They are also convinced of the longevity: the fork is largely maintenance-free thanks to its design. One part will nevertheless require maintenance, the damping cartridge is located in the head tube.

Another special feature of the fork is the response when braking, the fork should not be affected by braking maneuvers and should not dip during stopping maneuvers, making it completely different from conventional forks with a dip tube/standpipe design.

Motion France is currently active on Kickstarter, where the first 50 forks are available with a 50 percent discount, allowing the company to scrape together the capital to finance the first series production. Currently, around 15 percent of the desired sum has been raised 33 days before the crowdfunding campaign closes.
