Overview

The Nero C is Formula's 200 mm coil-sprung dual-crown downhill fork for bike park riding, with a claimed 2,850 g.

Nero is Formula's dual-crown downhill fork line with 200 mm travel, 35 mm stanchions, 20 mm Boost dropouts and a sealed drop-in damper with high- and low-speed compression and rebound adjustment.

The Nero C swaps the 3Air system for a coil spring with tool-free preload adjustment and soft, medium and firm spring rates. Formula pitches it as a fit-and-forget fork for riders who log big days of lift-assisted bike park laps.

  • Coil spring with tool-free external preload
  • Soft, medium (stock) and firm springs
  • Same damper as Nero R: HSC, LSC and rebound
  • 200 mm travel, 50 or 56 mm offset
  • 20QR Boost with FIRM locking system
