No matter which type of trails you prefer, the Hero will happily have it for breakfast.

Intend DH-ready damping and airspring provide an unmatched suppleness and a natural, predictable feel. In case you wish for more progression: Two bottom caps with alternate progression are in extent of delivery.

Your expectations for a high-end suspension fork are simple:

Creak-free upper unit.
Precise chassis with smooth, flush-fitting bushings.
Perfect alignment - no jammed tubes.
Proper lubrication.

Every single fork is built as if it were going to be Intend Blackline own.

To prevent creaking in the chassis, Intend uses high-strength Loctite to create a solid bond between the crown and tubes. This not only eliminates creaking, it also makes the chassis stiffer, because all movements between the parts are blocked. Can Intend promise that creaking never happens? No — but statistically, 99.98% of their forks are creak-free. That’s a result Intend is proud of.

All of the bushings are pressed in by experienced hands - by mountain bikers themselves. Every employee knows: Build each fork as if it’s your own. Yes, manufacturing has tolerances - that’s nature - but by calibrating the bushings to each tube, Intend can eliminate mismatch and ensure each fork runs smoothly. You won’t find jamming or sticky movement in Intend forks.

Fork alignment has become a hot topic in recent years, with more suspension shops publicly inspecting major brands and exposing quality deviations - the nature of mass production. At Intend, they take a different approach. They treat every fork as an individual - and make sure it’s perfectly aligned. Parallel tubes. A fork bushing system should simply work like it’s intended: Flawlessly.

In the final step, Intend Blackline fill each fork with a special mix of Motorex Supergliss 32k and 68k oils. Not 12ml. Not 18ml. Exactly 15ml - every time. Proper lubrication ensures smooth performance from the first ride. No guesswork. No shortcuts.
