DT Swiss F 232 One Incontrol Remote 29" Boost Tapered Rake 44 mm fork
Made for the modern demands of XC - benchmark in stiffness to weight ratio
Cross country has progressed – the descents are steeper, the climbs more technical and man-made obstacles such as rock gardens, berms and drops set new requirements for rider and machine. The F 232 ONE is engineered to meet those demands. The topology-optimized design sets a new benchmark in stiffness-to-weight ratio. Combined with the XC-optimized LINEAIR spring curve and the three-position INCONTROL damping, the F 232 ONE is ready to chase – whether for a podium or a personal best.

Technologies
Offset technology
The offset (V) is the perpendicular distance between the steering axle and the axle mount (hub axle) of the front wheel. The offset can be implemented at the fork crown and/or at the dropouts that accommodate the front wheel axle. For the F 232 ONE fork, the different offsets are created exclusively via the crown. The offsets at the dropouts are identical in both fork versions. The offset of a fork necessarily impacts the trail. When developing a bicycle, engineers consider every element related to bike geometry in order to ensure the best riding performance for a specific bike: the riding position of the rider, the wheelbase, the trail, the steering pressure, and the different characteristics of the components. The suspension fork offset therefore has to match the frame geometry as well as the specific purpose of the bike.
APT technology
The APT (Adaptable Progression Tune) system allows the rider to adjust the progression of the air spring curve by adding or removing volume spacers in the air chamber of the fork. This enables riders to adjust their spring curve to their riding style and the trails they are riding. The beauty of the system lies in the fact that the suppleness of the fork is unaffected, regardless of the setting chosen.
Topology technology
The F 232 ONE sets a new benchmark in stiffness-to-weight ratio thanks to a topology-optimized design, a method that optimizes the layout of materials within a design space for a specific set of loads and constraints. The method removes material wherever it is not necessary, resulting in the ideal ratio between stiffness and weight to maximize the performance of the system.
Incontrol fork technology
Compression damping is defined by the amount of oil which can flow in different channels. The smaller the channels, the higher the flow resistance and the higher the damping. INCONTROL damping provides on-the-fly damping adjustments offering the perfect compression tune for every riding situation by opening and closing different channels.
Lineair fork technology
LINEAIR is a dual-air chamber system. Through the size of the air chambers and position of the bypass, the characteristic of the spring curve is specifically tuned to meet the needs of XC riders. A low breakaway force for traction, a linear but flatter mid-stroke section that allows you to float over root carpets and an end progression to eat the big hits. The LINEAIR system consists of a bypass located in the air chamber. The bypass ensures that the pressure inside the negative air chamber is higher than in the positive air chamber when the fork is fully extended. This reduces the breakaway force.
