Magura Wotan



this new fork from Magura just may be a hit IF the reliability issue has been fixed. It's no secret that the first run had some air seal issues, but the tech fellas over at Magura felt confident enough in their fix that they sent us this Wotan to try out and report back. We should be installing it within the next few days and will follow up with a ride report. If you look into the numbers and read the text then the fork looks VERY promising. 160mm of air sprung travel that can be adjusted down to 120mm via remote control from the handlebar (a serious benefit when climbing). It also has a double arch design, 36mm stanchions, and a thru axle that should attribute to a VERY good tracking front wheel. Another decent benefit is that the thru axle uses the patented ROCK SHOX MAXLE, we really like this small piece of attention. The weight is also decent at 5.4lbs. Additional info can be found here
