Selva S represents the benchmark for enduro, aggressive trail biking, and e-mountain biking. Awesome reliability thanks to the triple stage coil negative spring on the air side. A great user-friendly approach with versatility in mind.
Thanks to CTS technology the Selva S features a completely customizable damping, adaptable to any riding style. With the Selva S you get two CTS valves, Gold (installed) and Red (in the box).
With the Internal Floating Technology (IFT), a super reliable system that drastically reduces the typical friction of a traditional fork, the Selva S ensures maximum smoothness and allows for a great fine-tune adjustability.
Selva S is the fork that brings together two different worlds: ease of use and in-depth customization. A fork that, in a few years, has been able to establish itself as the first choice for many riders.
Adjustability of Formula Selva S:
- travel (internally adjustable from 160mm to 120mm)
- air pressure
- CTS compression tuning (gold and red incl., 5 further valves available)
- rebound damping
- Lockout / -blow off
- remote (optional)
- adjustment of progression
Technologies:
NEO POS
NEO POS is a technology that represents the next evolutionary step in air suspension, a cutting-edge innovation that will change your riding experience for the better.
NEO POS stands for “new positive”, a technology that improves the behavior of the fork’s positive air chamber. Using the
NEO POS the result will be a more constant, predictable and comfortable air suspension. Meaning, more like that of a coil spring suspension comfort.
CTS (Compression Tuning System)
With the
CTS Formula offers 3 different kinds of valve heads for soft, medium and firm high speed compression. With this system, a wide range of riding styles is covered and this makes the 33 highly customizable by any rider, using a simple tool that anyone can use in their own workshop.
RCC (Remote Cartridge Contol)
The
RCC is an on-the-fly sytem that finely tunes the overall compression. In most of the forks, tuning options must be done on the fork itself or remotely by a mechanical cable rotating a knob. With the
RCC, Formula took a completely different approach.
RCC is a remote adjustment that becomes integrated into the cartridge. We give the riders the opportunity to adjust the overall compression on the trail, while riding, right from the cockpit. With
RCC, the fine tuning of overall compression is controlled by 13 different positions, from fully open to locked out.
HEX (Hexagon Design)
The ability of a fork to resist flexing is a key factor for maximum riding precision. A fork that rebounds too fast may make riding unsafe with an overall lack of control, above all when braking and cornering. In the same way, it is important that the fork is not too stiff, because it may make riding too tiring. When designing the Selva, Formula had the fundamental aim in mind, finding the perfect balance point between stiffness and flex. Thanks to the
Hexagon Design, the natural flex of the fork has been dramatically decreased with this lightweight method. In this way, Formula managed to combine the advantages of the standard boost with the stiffness of a traditional fork.
ILS (Integrated Locking System)
The
ILS improves the thru-axle design. The lever is easily removable for re-insertion at virtually any position. The
ILS can also be used on a rear axle that requires a tool for removal. On top of that, the
ILS is designed to prevent overtightening of the front axle, making wheel removal quick and simple. For weight freaks, the
ILS can be removed without affecting the functionality of the thru-axle.
IFT (Internal Floating Technology)
The
IFT (Internal Floating Technology) is what truly differentiates Formula‘s forks from any other fork. Smoothness is very important in terms of suspension performance. After many tests on stanchion coatings, Formula now knows that they have a minimal effect on reducing friction. With the
IFT they wanted to approach this aspect from a very different point of view. All forks, regardless of their stiffness, experience some kind of lateral stress while riding. This type of stress increases the friction of the internal parts. Thanks to Formula’s design, the hydraulic cartridge is structurally merged with the stanchions and lower legs. In a riding situation, the internals compensate for the external stresses placed on the fork. This causes an incredible reduction of friction.
