Dual Position Air changes your fork‚Äôs travel up to 30mm without changing its small bump performance. So, with a simple onboard turn and a click you can switch from climbing like a demon to bombing downhill with confidence BOOST‚Ñ¢: Aggressive trail and enduro riders have been increasingly enjoying the benefits of larger wheels, but many still view 27 5″ and 29″ wheels as a possible weak link.
