Endurance test: DT Swiss XRC 100 Race suspension fork
Minimalist weight, carbon shaft and crown: this is what characterises the XRC fork from the Swiss company, which is widely used among racers.
I had already made friends with the linear, not too tight characteristic curve during the suspension fork test last autumn. The carbon fibre steerer tube was shortened to the right length in no time at all and the filigree lockout lever was mounted on the handlebars. In cold conditions, the fork rebounds very slowly. As a result, you have to open the rebound damping to the last click. I could have done without the lowering to 63 millimetres on my 100-millimetre fully. The only weak point - the lockout lever. It failed after a few months of heavy use.
CONCLUSIONluxurious carbon fibre fork that has proven itself in everyday use. Only the lockout lever could be more resistant.
