Overview

The Belva is Formula's dual-crown enduro fork with 170–180 mm travel, 35 mm stanchions and a claimed weight of 2,370 g.

The Belva is Formula's dual-crown enduro fork. Formula's engineers chose a dual-crown design as the best way to build a stiffer long-travel fork, using custom CNC crowns, 35 mm stanchions, a 43 mm offset, a tapered steerer and a 15 mm axle rather than a rebadged downhill chassis.

It uses the proven Selva lowers so the fork can still flex where needed, and Formula says its 2,370 g weight is comparable to a 38 mm single-crown fork while being much stiffer. Damping is the familiar drop-in cartridge with CTS valves.
