I don't want to make a long talk about the Problems of the very common telescope suspension forks (bad reaction, bush wear, brakediving, freezing in winter...) here.
The new reiseradgabel design got rid of all those problems and got even some new advantages compared to other suspension forks:
maintenance-free: | Nothing has to be greased, cleaned or changed. NO OIL, NO SEALS, NO BUSHES |
no static friction: | This fork even bounces when you ride across a stamp! You will notice a very high difference while riding on cobbles. |
good compatibility with front carrier an pannier racks (Low-Rider): | The luggage is suspended too! It is the first suspension fork where the Tubus Duo and similar low riders can be mounted. |
high reliability: | The rubber torsion elements are approved in industrie and in the suspension of light vehicle trailers since decades. |
No chatter: | No wear of bearings and bushes due to chatter or bad alignment caused by flexibility. |
long life: | Probably 5 years Warranty - suspension elements included! |
NO brakediving: | The reiseradgabel comes up on braking. This will give you more safety against falling over the handlebar and a shorter stopping distance. |
simple design: | The rubber torsion elements integrate the functions bearing, bouncing, absorbing. (Individual) changes can be made easily. |
All kinds of hydraulic or cable driven brakes can be mounted.
