DT Swiss announce new 535 suspension platform

To make a competitive product you need to cover all the needs for its given application. But to achieve holistic performance you need to do more. DT Swiss defined the key factors for All Mountain riding and pushed them to the next level. To achieve holistic performance. To give you the ultimate all mountain suspension.

All Mountain is the holistic kind of mountain biking, as All Mountain combines all the qualities and requirements of the individual disciplines of Cross Country, Trail riding, Enduro and Downhill.

The F 535 ONE is the only fork that balances all the demands: efficiency, small bump sensitivity, mid-stroke support and end progression. With position-sensitive damping and the combination of coil and air spring, the F 535 ONE is the only fork that overcomes the trade-off between small bump sensitivity and mid-stroke support. These world-first technologies make the F 535 ONE a holistic suspension for a holistic ride.

PLUSHPORT - THE NEW DIMENSION OF DAMPING

An entirely speed-dependent damping system either generates a force which is too low in the mid-stroke or too high in the beginning stroke. PLUSHPORT adds a new dimension, travel, to the common system and generates the right force in every stroke. With PLUSHPORT, you get small bump sensitivity and mid-stroke support

PLUSHPORT is an opening in the lowspeed compression circuit which allows for nearly zero compression damping in the first couple of centimeters. It is slowly closed by a floating piston, ramping up the compression damping the further you go into the travel.

COILPAIR - COIL PERFORMANCE/AIR WEIGHT

COILPAIR combines a coil spring with an air spring system to provide the best of both worlds. Due to the zero friction of the coil spring, it compresses before the air spring piston even starts to move, providing real coil sensitivity. The high-end LINEAIR system is not only lightweight, it also features the much appreciated bottom- out resistance of an air spring.

FORM IS FUNCTION

Nature epitomizes this credo. Sections that have a lot of functions and need to support large loads, are thick and high volume. Sections with fewer functions and smaller loads, on the other hand, are always thin and svelte. This not only results in an unique design, but also the ideal ratio of weight to stiffness.

SERVICE - GLOBAL & FAST

As long-time riders, we know the day will come when your beloved off-road bicycle needs some maintenance or even a repair after an overly close encounter with a tree that wasn't there before. We ride, therefore we know. And what we want, is what we do for you: TO GET BACK ON THE BIKE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
