Overview
The Selva S is Formula's versatile 35 mm air fork with 120–180 mm adjustable travel, CTS damping and 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 S is the versatile air-spring version. Formula says its 120–180 mm travel range lets it be fitted to XC, trail, enduro or e-bikes, and that it can be rebuilt, travel-adjusted or converted to a coil spring at home. A pump, CTS valves and tool, fork oil and travel spacers come in the box.

- 120–180 mm internally adjustable travel (27.5"), up to 170 mm (29")
- HSC/LSC with 12 clicks plus CTS valves (gold and blue included)
- Convertible to coil spring at home
