Overview

The Selva R is Formula's most tunable 35 mm enduro fork with the 2Air dual air chamber system, Neopos included and up to 180 mm travel at a claimed 1,940 g.

The Selva is Formula's single-crown 35 mm trail and enduro fork family, built around the drop-in damping cartridge with Internal Floating Technology and the Compression Tuning System (CTS), whose interchangeable valves change the compression character of the fork.

The Selva R is the most tunable version. Its 2Air system has separate positive (silver) and negative (bronze) air chambers, so the start of the stroke can be tuned independently, and a Neopos foam volume token comes fitted to refine the air spring further.

  • 2Air system with separately adjustable positive and negative chambers
  • Neopos included for mid-stroke support
  • 140–180 mm internally adjustable travel (120–130 mm optional)
  • HSC/LSC with 12 clicks plus CTS valves
  • 15QR Boost standard, 20QR Boost optional
