X-Fusion has been gaining traction, both as a competitor to Fox and RockShox in the OEM market, and in bike shops that serve enthusiast-level aftermarket suspension customers. X-Fusion sent us a 2012 Velvet fork and O2 RCX shock tuned for our Santa Cruz Blur LTc test sled and we returned the favor by putting some quality miles on both to assess the longevity and performance of two suspension products that we will be seeing a lot more of on medium to upper-end trailbikes. Velvet RL Fork Velvet series is positioned as an XC/trail fork and its design and construction follows the time-proven blueprint established by Fox and RockShox – cast-magnesium sliders with reinforced offset axle mounts, 32-millimeter hard-anodized aluminum stanchion tubes, a forged-aluminum crown and post-mount brake caliper bosses. The Velvet’s air spring is in the left stanchion, with its damping cartridge in the right side. Its red low-speed rebound control is below the slider, with a blue, lockout dial on top. X-Fusion offers tapered (1.5 x 1.125-inch) or a straight, 1. Psicologia Generale Anolli Pdf on this page. 5-inch steerer tubes for aftermarket sales.

Weight for the RL version is around 1812 grams, depending upon steerer-tube length, and the MSRP is around $450 USD. Brian Lopes rides an X-Fusion Velvet fork. Brian, who recently signed on with X-Fusion tipped us off on the fork's excellent mid-stroke stability. After pounding out some miles on the fork, we'd have to agree. Ian Hylands photo Velvet Options Axle options are the Syntace X-15, 15-millimeter through-axle or a conventional 9-millimeter quick release dropout. X-Fusion supports 26-inch or 650b wheel-sizes with the same platform using plastic spacers and its unique internal travel adjustment that can be set by moving pins up or down a series of holes in the limit rod on the air-spring-side. Standard travel is 140 millimeters, and by using the ‘pin ladder,’ the Velvet RL’s stroke can be configured to 80, 100, or 130 millimeters.

The more-expensive Velvet DLA (Down Low Adjust) fork has a crown-mounted dial that allows on-the-fly travel reductions (from 80 to 120 millimeters, or from 130 to 140 millimeters). Color options are white or black. If that isn’t enough, Velvet forks can also be configured with a handlebar-remote lockout.

Meet the Velvet fork. With 140-millimeters of travel and sport-tuned damping, X-Fusion targets its 32-millimeter-stanchion slider at the aggressive side of the XC/trail spectrum. Damping Upgrade This year, X-Fusion revamped its cartridge damper with a modified compression tune that is intended to keep the fork from blowing through its travel in the mid-stroke. The new tune is the product of a second compression valve that sits below the primary washer stack. The Mid-stroke valve does not affect fluid flow through the primary washer stack until it opens all the way - then the mid-stroke valve monitors the volume of oil that can flow past. This frees the fork to suck up small bumps, but slows it down when it receives a full-travel impact.

The new tune stabilizes the fork under hard braking and while descending steeps. We heard about the new valving from X-Fusion team riders who had been pre-running the 2012 forks this Winter. The buzz was that it made a noticeable improvement over its competitor’s fork, so we were more than curious to see for ourselves. Riding the Velvet RL Before you pass judgment on X-Fusion’s premier XC trail fork, give it a few hours of riding to break in the seals and bushings. That’s about how long it took for the Velvet to live up to its name. We found that setting the sag to 25-percent required the spring pressure to be slightly less than half of our riding weight (body and gear). Five psi less was a good starting point, with the rebound set on the light side – just enough to feel it after manually compressing the fork.

If you want a plusher feel, or you are not achieving full travel, then subtract another five psi from that figure. Syntace's X-15 axle system simply screws in with its stout handle. Once it is tight, simply remove the handle with a 4mm Allen key and clock the handle to your preferred position. Snug up the screw and the handle always returns to the same place. Mid-stroke magic: X-Fusion lives up to its promise of less brake dive and more stability on descents.

The Velvet makes the most of its 140-millimeter stroke by not wasting it over chatter and braking so that the fork is poised and ready for larger events. We found that we could lean on the front wheel for aggressive turning and to commit to roll into drop-in sections. The firmer-feeling mid-stroke compression damping added a measure of confidence by keeping the bike balanced front-to-rear, which gave us a better feel for where the wheels were and how the tires were biting.
