2014

Price points for one piece forks for 2015 drop across the range. Torsion Box models will stay about the same. They’ve done away with straight 1-1/8″ steerers, tapered only. They’ll still offer a 26″ version, but the push is on 650B and 29er.

Internally, their Single Shot system gets a lot of updates. Valving has been tweaked to be a little more plush throughout the travel. It’s still a cartdridge system, but will make for a less firm fork overall and with improved impact management in lockout. The lockout lever will still make it very firm, but a new blowoff mechanism prevents damage if you nail a bump or drop while the fork is locked. Basically it’s a much firmer compression damping at the top. When it blows through threshold, it’ll open enough to use some of the travel.
