Overview

The Nero R is Formula's 200 mm air-sprung dual-crown downhill fork with the 3Air system and a claimed 2,620 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 R is the air-sprung version. Its 3Air system uses three air chambers working together (positive, negative and end-stroke progressivity), so the spring curve can be adjusted on the bike without tools or volume spacers; Neopos are included.

  • HSC 20 clicks, LSC 12 clicks, rebound 21 clicks
