- Unique down country fork

- Designed, engineered & tested in Freiburg / Germany
- Assembled 100% in-house and by hand – One at a time
The Intend Samurai XC is our latest down country solution for riders who want an even lighter and cleaner front. Thanks to an updated crown design the size and weight of the dropouts have been reduced significantly. Apart from saving weight and looking clean and minimalistic this measure also reduces friction on the bushings due to a lesser amount of leverage, resulting in smooth performance and naturally less wear and tear. Ultimately this means you're getting a a product which simply works, encouraging you to ride more and worry less.
With only 1515g, the Samurai XC fork weighs in about 150 grams lighter than our Hero RD, which would be the next choice in the Intend line-up. For this fork we are utilizing the infamous Rock Shox Charger Raceday cartridge, which is an incredible, lightweight engineered piece of art.
