CONCLUSION The new OPM, including the quick-action remote lever, is the lightest of the cross-country forks and also offers the highest torsional rigidity. Thanks to the new seals and the completely new inner workings, it is significantly more sensitive than its predecessor. The strong progression effectively prevents bottoming out even without switchable compression damping.
