EverFlow AirLink may help riders access more fork travel by reducing pressure build up in the lower legs - bottom-out for all!
EverFlow is a small Italian manufacturer of suspension enhancing components, designed by ex motocross rider, now maintain biker, Andrea Bafo. His latest creation looks to reduce the aggressive ramp exhibited by some long-travel forks. By creating a connection between the lower legs of the fork, allowing air to pass freely between the two, Andrea has been able to markedly reduce the progressivity of RockShox forks. And, to a lesser extent, Fox forks too.
The EverFlow AirLink hooked up to the Pressure Relief Valves of a RockShox fork; the red connector has its own pressure relief button to alleviate pressure build up in both lowers simultaneously.Andrea Bafo turned to mountain biking after almost a decade of racing motocross. Safe to say, he was less than satisfied with the performance of suspension components designed for mountain bikes.
The spring side suffers more from this pressure build up, thanks to the presence of the seal head on the air piston. Andrea took a bunch of forks from RockShox and Fox and drilled a hole in each lower leg to allow a measurement to be taken of the pressure inside the lower leg at bottom out. Invariably, the pressure build up in the air spring side was markedly higher than the pressure build on the damper side.
