Overview
The Intend Flash 35 is a burly 160–190 mm upside-down enduro/freeride fork, 2350 g, suited to big-hitting e-MTBs; €1,949 incl. VAT.
The Flash 35 is Intend's enduro/freeride upside-down fork for heavy, aggressive riders, with an even more reinforced upper assembly than the Edge and an optimised crown for improved stiffness. Intend explicitly calls it a valid choice for a big-hitting e-bike, and it won the German national enduro title in both women's and men's categories.
Every Intend fork is designed, engineered and tested in Freiburg, Germany, and assembled by hand in-house one at a time; Intend says bushings are calibrated to each tube, crowns are bonded to prevent creaking and each fork is aligned individually. It uses the OPTimized damper with Smooth Operator, DH-ready air spring and two included progression caps.
