X Fusion Velvet, Internal Travel Adjust

• Add to quote

I would like to change the travel on my Velvet from 140 down to 120. The instructions seem fairly simple, but that shows the little fixture from X-fusion to pop out the pin and then reset it. Has anybody adjusted the internal travel on one of these forks without having the "proper" equipment?  

What did you use to push the pin out and reinsert it? Did you just use a little punch with a mallet? THanks for the help.  

Cool. I will give this a shot and report back. I have a bench vice with soft jaws, so it should not be a problem.  

I did this recently using a vice and some carefully crafted screws to push the pin out. Worked real well. It can be done fairly easily.  

There is a 2011 Velvet RL 130mm for sale locally, but my bikes are from the mid 90's. Is it possible to lower the fork to 80mm or is this too far out of its intended range? Maybe lower to 100mm and set it up to sag to 80mm?  

130mm is a 2011 fork which means no RL2 but it is possible to lower it to 80mm X Fusion Shox - RL  

DLA has an entirely different system. Seems you got a specific travel Velvet, perhaps OEM? You can drill the shaft and move the travel stop there, or use X-Fusion's travel spacers instead.

That's not a cartridge, that's an air piston rod. Your LBS and probably even X-Fusion USA will tell you to drill it tho.  

Hopefully since it is still under warranty as it is only a couple months old and they will just replace the air rod for me. Drilling a cross hole thru a round rod makes me nervous without a drill press or mill. What are these travel spacers that you mentioned? I'm familiar with those used on rockshox forks and am imagining something similar. That could be a good solution as well.  

Ive been looking at the X Fusion forks and have seen some that are only 80mm-100mm X-Fusion, Velvet RL 100 WheelVillage.com  

Good luck with that. Things are gonna be hectic on XF HQ until Interbike ends.  

Au contraire! I spoke with their US marketing manager on the phone Tuesday, send him the pictures, and today I got confirmation that the new air rod (pre-set to the height I want) will be coming my way. I love good customer service. I'm sure my fork was just a freak accident that slipped through QC. They were apologetic and are taking care of me.  

Man that is a bummer, wasn't aware they even sold a fixed length fork (not in any of their manuals or guides). You need to talk to your shop about where they got this, it seems like they didn't get you what you asked for.  

not a bummer at all, just use a clip on spacer!!!  

Glad this got made right, though I still doubt it was XFusion that was at fault here. Enjoy your new internals!  

I'm pretty sure it's on them, even though I know it was an honest mistake. The shop owner called me when the big brown truck arrived and I headed over. The box was still sealed when I picked it up and took it home. Doesn't matter though really. I'm just stoked that they stand behind their product, and quickly at that.  

Sorry to jump in with a different question but I think it is related. Can the DLA version be adjusted for travel? Or are the two preset travels the only options?  

From X-Fusion site, it mentioned DLA is not adjustable...  

DLA can't be adjusted internally.  

I just received my air rod yesterday. Big props again to X-fusion!  

where do the spacers go for 650B conversion ? called tech-support. they don't really sell the tool , to do the travel adjust. they don't sell the whole rod assembly !? was asking if I could just buy the whole leg side,... found out, you do need some spacers , if you going to run 650B tires, so it does not hit the bottom of fork, what could send you over the handlebars,... now I received the spacers, there where 2 of them , different size. have no idea, where they go, and how to put them in ? fork is a RL2, currently at 100mm, replaces a zocchi 140mm bomber . appreciate help/ pointers. thanks, Rob  

The spacers go in the air-spring side to limit travel. The lower section is already big enough to fit a 650b tire inside, the problem is that an unmodified fork will change in heat tube angle too drastically without shortening the travel. You should check out their website, they have all kinds of informative tutorials: Tech Guides Velvet 650b Modification  

step 11 , remove air rod base plate with spanner ! turn counter-clock wise ? is that right ? broke a universal-spanner tool. seam to be stuck . going to get the park spa-2 tool. any recommendations to get it off ? thanks  

Use two spanners.  

Convert RL2 to RL2R? does anyone know what it takes to convert a RL2 to the remote version? Is it just an add on, or does the damper need to be replaced?  

Hello. I have bought X-Fusion Velvet RL2 DLA fork. I have read all x-fusion manuals and tech guides. I understand all about Lower Service and Travel Adjust, but I didn't find any info about servicing a RL2 damper and I have a question - What oil viscosity have I to pour into rhe RL2 damper? I am unable to send the fork into service to another country, thats why I ask this question. Also, I didn't find where to buy X-Fusion seal kit online.  

All X-Fusion forks use Torco Light RSF (14.5 cSt @ 40C). You can purchase a seal kit directly from the nearest X-Fusion distributor.  

Reviving thread since no sense starting a new one to deal with the same thing. Recently got an X-Fusion Velvet RL and wanted to lower travel to 120mm, but cannot for the life of me get into the leg to access the air piston, don't know what torque they did it too. Travel was sposed to have been adjusted along with the 650B spacer put in, travel wasn't done and hoping they just forgot that and pout the spacer in. Can anyone who's done this confirm that the thread on the base plate is normal, i.e. left to loosen, right to tighten? Another thing, what did you guys use to undo the air rod base plate? I got the SPA-2 spanner as per their PDF instructional, but found it didn't fit snug and slipped, so got the SPA-1 and that fit snug, but still no luck budging the base plate. Really think they need some service videos to show these procedures properly.  

BUmping this thread. Any luck getting the baseplate off? would heating it help get it off?  

I gave up and left it at 140mm travel and installed a flat bar and flipped the stem for the guy, no complaints so far in terms of handling - it's on a 120mm rear travel Marin QUAD XC, so not a huge geo change, much nicer going down. On a side note, got another one which I had not requested anything be done to it and it was easy as pie getting the base plate off, no trouble what so ever, thinking when the 650B conversion was done they over torqued it, but not worth it to send it back.  

I tried the SPA1 a well as the replaceable pin model with no luck. I have 2 SPA2s inbound. I think im going to mildly heat the base plate to see if I cant get it loose. I just don't want to ruin the stanchion finish or melt a o-ring.  

When I tried it I tried a normal multi tip pin span and it didn't work, ordered the SPA1 & 2 and the one they recomend SPA-2 definitely fit loose, but the SPA-1 fit snug and worked. When I contacted them they said applying some heat around the area would loosen it, so I did, but probably like you scared to melt/damage anything and prob didn't apply enough.

Review: X-Fusion Velvet RL 130 suspension fork

• Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)
• Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)

• 130mm travel.
• 15mm thru axle .
• An actual weight of 3.8lb ( with thru-axle).
• External Lockout .
• External rebound damping adjustment.

Checks all the right boxes, doesn’t it? When looking for a not too long, not too short fork for my 5in trail bike, I came across the longest-travel version of X-Fusion’s Velvet cross country fork and decided to drop the company a line. After all, it looked on paper to be exactly what I was looking for. But how would the Taiwanese company’s flagship compare with the Fox, DT Swiss, and Rock Shox forks that had graced the same bike previously?

Really, amazingly, well as it turns out. Read on to find out more.

Not bad for $410 , eh?

Though it can’t match a modern Marzocchi’s hovercraft impersonation or the small-bump sensitivity of some dual air RockShox forks, the gap with the latter is surprisingly small- and may well not be noticed by riders packing another 20lb. For anyone who isn’t, my hope is that the lighter negative spring coming for 2012 will help improve small-bump sensitivity at low pressures. A self-adjusting rebound adjuster healed itself before I could fix it- X-Fusion thought that my experience was the result of an unusually loose detent spring and would have been easy to remedy if needed.

650B fans have been digging this companies forks for a while now, as well as those from White Brothers. It’s interesting that the big players in front suspension have been denying support for their forks that have been used with a 650B wheel, even though many riders have checked tolerances and used them with no problems. Way to be supportive, guys – especially since (as you pointed out) something as simple as a travel limiter would typically take care of any lingering concerns.

Fine with me, though – I’m riding rigid!

makes you wonder how fox and DTswiss can keep a straight face while charging twice as much for the same component.

Are they really a Taiwanese company? They’re based in Santa Cruz! If they manufacture in Taiwan, then they’re just like almost every bike company out there.

X-Fusion forks truly are incredible for the cost.

The Taiwanese company that owns them is called Apro-Tek. Their SC locations is their global marketing headquarters.

@Greg Kopecky

They’re a subsidiary of a Taiwanese company.

The remote operation mechanism for my brand new fork does not function as it should. It is severely flawed in design and operation. My bike mechanic, Mike Colonna, from Edge Outdoors, advised that John Valera, X-Fusion Shox sales/service manager, is instructing him to use a steer tube reamer to modify the remote to work as it already should. This tells us that the remote, and how it was designed to work with the shock, is the result of poor design and an issue dealt with frequently (given the response and instructions to remedy). Being that the remote assembly (your product) is to blame for this significant product malfunction and the result of design flaws, I think it would be more appropriate to correct this with a new, improved remote assembly; one appropriately suited for its intended placement, and the purpose/product for which it was designed. This is not an issue that the mechanic should have to repair, even modify the new shock to make the hardware work properly. Additionally, this is a new shock installed on my new race bike. I sold my other bike when this one was built with the X-Fusion shock. I cannot afford to be inconvenienced by sending the shock back to you, and thereby not having one available for me to use (I race every weekend).

Many “low-end” forks are suprising people with the internals and the quality. Everybody now loves the suntour high-end forks for the low price and great work and the grease instead of the oil in the lowers. But it’s nothing new the rst forks have grease in the lowers for some good years and it’s a good easy to service standard. Also everyone should know that RST forks are the same as Manitou but the manitou forks have the oil in the lowers. And the Marzocchi was made by suntour

X-Fusion Trace 36 HLR fork review

160mm travel fork that won't suit everyone

Stiff and well-damped in the rough

One-size-fits-all coil negative spring makes for a very firm beginning stroke unless your chosen spring pressure happens to sit inside a certain range

I’ll get straight to the point: the main thing you need to know about the X-Fusion Trace 36 HLR fork is that the spring won’t suit everyone.

That’s because while the positive spring (the part that holds up your weight) is air sprung and therefore adjustable, the negative spring (the one that counteracts the positive at the beginning of the travel to soften the beginning-stroke) is a one-size-fits-all coil spring.

• How much suspension travel do I need on my mountain bike?
• How to set up your mountain bike suspension

So if you’re a heavier rider, and therefore put more pressure in the positive spring, the coil negative doesn’t account for this, resulting in the fork being very firm at the start of the travel.

Conversely, if you’re a lighter rider using much less air pressure, the coil negative may overwhelm the positive spring, causing it to sink down into its travel even without any weight on the bike.

• This fork was tested as part of a group test including ten of the best enduro forks. All forks were tested back-to-back on the same tracks, keeping all other variables as consistent as possible to ensure our findings are as reliable and accurate as they can be.

X-Fusion Trace 36 HLR fork setup

X-Fusion recommends 90psi for my weight: 86kg. This was far too firm and gave me almost no sag.

Once I’d dropped the pressure to 65psi, I measured 14 percent sag (I’d usually aim for 20 percent) yet the fork still felt too soft deeper into the travel.

The spring setup was always a compromise between a beginning-stroke that was too firm and a mid-end stroke that was too soft.

X-Fusion Trace 36 HLR fork performance

Because of the small amount of sag, the fork sat too high when climbing or when riding through flatter tracks, where it lacks traction and predictability.

But when faced with braking or berms, it pushed through the remainder of its travel too easily, creating a trap-door feeling.

However, when ploughing through large holes and rocks, the Trace swallows them up with minimal fuss. This is partly due to that soft spring-rate in the middle of the travel, but the chassis was unfazed by square-edged hits and the damping is promising too.

Adding a few clicks of high-speed compression held the fork up noticeably through big successive hits, without robbing too much of that suppleness. But this was only a sticking plaster for the unsupportive spring.

Lighter riders who run softer spring pressures might find the Trace works well for them, but I was so far away from the ideal window that it’s hard to say what air pressure or rider weight it will work for.

Most other forks have self-equalising springs or adjustable negative springs, so the spring can be adjusted to suit all riders well.

I asked Upgrade bikes, X-Fusion’s UK distributor, if it would offer different negative springs for different rider weights. Upgrade told me that X-Fusion doesn’t currently manufacture them. However, it says the issue has been raised with X-Fusion, and suggested the Trace can be “modified” internally to improve the feel somewhat for heavier riders (presumably by preloading the negative spring).

This is not something I’ve attempted, and until X-Fusion offers an alternative to the single negative spring option, I can’t recommend the Trace above the competition.

How does it compare to its main rivals?

Over long descents, the Trace was comfier than the MRP Ribbon air and Öhlins RXF 36 EVO. But if the spring doesn’t happen to work for your weight, it can’t compete with the other forks on test when it comes to grip, support and predictability.

This video shows how we tested the forks and how they compare.

X-Fusion Introduces 27.5" Trail Fork

Cool Features

X-Fusion Velvet RL2 Fork review

• Simon Collis
• October 18, 2013

Product Overview

X-Fusion Velvet RL2 

Price: £394.99 Specification: Weight: 1,819g / Contact: upgradebikes.co.uk

At under £400 the X-Fusion Velvet RL2 is affordable but it’s also heavy. This is because internally it has the stanchions and damper of a 140mm travel fork — it’s actually an adjustable-travel unit (140mm/120mm/100mm) with the settings controlled by X-Fusion’s internal ‘pin and ladder’ system. This built-in adjustment is a great feature if you want to move the fork onto a longer travel bike at a later date. The X-Fusion Velvet is also 650b (27.5in wheel) compatible, but it’s not just a case of fitting it to a 650b bike — the fork needs to be fitted with a travel limiter, which stops the bigger tyre buzzing the crown on full compression. This will reduce available travel by 10mm.

The X-Fusion Velvet comes with a threaded thru-axle that X-Fusion licences from Syntace. It’s easy to use, and the clockable design means you can vary the final position of the lever by simply undoing the 4mm bolt on the side. We had a couple of issues with the hardware. The aluminium steerer was slightly oversized so it stretched the crown race on the Cane Creek headset we were using for test. The hose guide on the front of the fork didn’t grip the brake hose securely, plus it has a tiny 2mm fixing bolt, which is easy to round out. There’s also no O-ring on the stanchion for sag setting, so we fitted a zip-tie.

During the first two rides the Velvet bedded in dramatically. We increased our initial air pressure from 75psi to 100psi, with a corresponding increase in rebound damping. The fork continued to bed in during the test and has become progressively smoother, suggesting the bushings take quite a while to settle. Despite the smooth action the X-Fusion Velvet RL2 is firm at the top of the stroke, which means it takes a slightly bigger impact to get it moving. This has a knock-on effect on the sensitivity and grip, but you can run slightly more sag to improve matters without the fork diving too much.

The damping feels the least sophisticated here and was harsh on rougher descents, but on groomed trails it never put a foot wrong. Factor in a star nut, shock and pump (both included as standard), plus 650b compatibility and travel adjustment, and the Velvet is the standout value package in this test.

I'm looking to update my fork this year on my Mojo HD. The Vengeance HLR is looking pretty sweet. Nice reviews, 170-140 travel adjust sounds perfect, and the customer service is apparently legit. Curious what peoples thoughts are. The Lyrik 170 and the new Dual Position Air are the other forks on my short list. Rock and roll.

I don't like how the Vengeance is 10mm taller then both the Lyrik and Fox 36 at equivalent travel (Fox 36 is 545mm at 160mm, Lyrik is 555mm at 170mm, Vengeance is 565mm at 150mm). Of course, this is all assessed from the comfort of my armchair, no experience on one whatsoever. Here is marshal's review of the RC version Lev. I'm much much more curious about the Velvet. It's the same axle to crown as my Pike, but much lighter. I'd love to hear how the sensitivity and stiffness compare to the Pike, a Fox 32 Float, and a Revelation. Also, is X-Fusion's travel adjust system any good? Also also, does anyone know the axle to crown length of the new Slant?

All I know is that I don't know nothin'... and that's fine.

Nice man. I forgot about Marshall's review on those.

I'm also really interested in the XF Slant with the 34mm stanchions. But equally interested in the Velvet or whatever the one they currently make is - but that next gen model. If what you can sniff out on the internet is correct, the next generation 32mm forks (like the Velvet) and the 34mm (like the Slant) will have midvalves to further damp low speed fork compression. Very stoked to hear this. I think that's a huge bonus - and something most forks are super weak on. With forks getting lighter and lighter, especially in the short travel models, the damping has become weaker and weaker. My old, like OLD, 130mm Vanilla RLC coil kicks the crap out of my brand new Kashima coat Float 140/130 RLC FIT in terms of low speed compression damping. Like orders of magnitude better. If I could run a through axle on the old fork, I'd run it in a second. Also, FWIW, the Vengeance will not be sporting midvalve damping from what I've heard... it sounds like the damping adjustment range with the HLR damper, which provides low AND high speed damping adjust is pretty awesome. It is like pulling teeth getting good info about the next gen XF forks, so I hope that the information I posted is correct...

Its top notch stuff. I personally find it more supple than than anything else out there that I've tried (float and lyrik). Maybe not *quite* as refined on the compression damping but I never use much of that anyway. Tracks really *really* good and the new stuff feels even better than last year. The atoc height should be damn near the same as a Lyrik too fwiw.

I had the 170 coil and really liked it. I couldn't quite get the feel I wanted because the stock spring was a little too soft and the firm one was a little too...firm. (I'm 190#) I now have the adjustable air fork and its an incredible fork. I've used a Lyrik (air and coil), Fox 36 (Van and Talas), Marzocchi 66 (air and coil) and the X Fusion so supple and smooth. It tracks the ground like no other fork I've used. I have it with 90# of pressure 3 clicks open on low speed compression and 8 on high speed compression. I don't go big (8-10' drops max) on my SB66 and have never bottomed out.

These are all good things I'm hearing. Guess it might be time to start shopping. A used Lyrik Coil will probably show up here in the classifieds before too long.

just for the record, the 2010-11 vengeance forks are measured and confirmed to be 5mm longer a2c than the equiv 55 and lyrik, not 10mm. the new 2012 vengeance forks are 2mm shorter than lyrik. i would put the dampening quality of the RC (cheaper) vengeance against the 55 rc3 and lyrik DH cart. not ridden the HLR cart. but the RC rode way sick.

go for rob www.dpsskis.com

Good timing on this thread as I'm about to pull the trigger on front and rear for the Tracer2. Running an RP23 currently and it def blows through it's travel pretty consistently on harder hits but is OK for the more pedal enduro riding. I'm thinking that the Vector Coil and Vengeance Coil 170 will be a pretty sweet setup. I've always been a fan of coil forks and will still have the RP23 for XC stuff. Pricing is a plus and they seem to really stand behind the product. Plus, Skijunky now runs it on his bikes so it MUST be good

just my .02 after riding all the below coil shocks last season: avalanche, ccdb coil > vector hlr vector hlr > rc4, vivid all are way way better than a dhx5 or whatever of course, and price certainly matters

I posted a separate thread asking about the X Fusion O2 rear shock (air), but got no responses. I ordered an Ibis Mojo SL that is coming with that rear shock, so I guess I'll find out how well it works. It's also coming with an X Fusion Velvet fork, but I have a Rock Shox Revelation that I'm going to install in its place, and sell the Velvet.

Originally Posted by Catch22 According to XFusion the Vengeance is 565mm at 170mm. http://www.xfusionshox.com/en/produc...ance-hlr-dla#3 That is what I meant to type. That is still 10mm taller then the equivalent Fox or Rockshox. Fox 36 180's are also 565mm, so I personally would take the extra 10mm of travel. Originally Posted by marshalolson just for the record, the 2010-11 vengeance forks are measured and confirmed to be 5mm longer a2c than the equiv 55 and lyrik, not 10mm. the new 2012 vengeance forks are 2mm shorter than lyrik. So are the spec's posted online incorrect then? According to their website's: Lyrik 170mm = 555 mm Vengeance 170mm = 565mm Fox 36 170mm = 555mm Fox 36 180mm = 565mm Marzocchi 55 170mm = 556mm

yeah man, they are def not correct on their website. measured them in-person.

Just pulled the trigger on a Vector Coil and Vengeance Coil 170. They should land next week before my trip to Hood River so I'll post up some thoughts after the trip!

Damn, nice Tim. Your Tracer's gonna ride just like a mini Slopestyle.

There's nothing better than sliding down snow, flying through the air

So far I'm super impressed. Extremely plush out of the box, adjustments are audible and noticeable. Be warned if you're a heavier rider though, the stock coil is soft! I weigh 170 all geared up and it feels pretty dialed but I wouldn't want to be any heavier. Def found myself running more compression then past forks. Small bump performance is killer and I would say tracks as well as my 55RC3 TI that I took off. More to come, gotta go get some more laps in Post Canyon!

bump for some insight...

I'm considering an XFusion for my Specialized Status and have some other options too (CCDB/DHX5.0/Rocco)...Given my position as a flatlander, this bike is very much a road trip bike, so I'm looking for something that will keep the status playful and fun and eat up the chunk too...without costing me lots of tuning runs while I'm on a trip. Where did you find the XFusion fell short of the CCDB? I've got 5 years riding CCDB on a FR bike and Ive been riding AVY for about 4 months now, so I do have a good handle on the CCDB/tuning/handling etc. I actually rode the low-end XFusion at Angelfire on a Status, and that is what has me looking at it. That rental Status jumped much better and was much more fun than my Delirium when attacking the same trails - I'm not sure how much of that was shock setup vs. linkage, and I really enjoyed the Status with that shock. Thanks much for your time!

• X-Fusion Sweep Roughcut Travel adjustment and service guide

I am considering buying a set of these from someone I know but I would need to drop the travel. I have opened up plenty of forks and the older RL2 forks look easy to change the travel on.

I cannot find any information on changing the travel on the Roughcut forks, is it the same procedure as the RL2?

Any service information is welcomed. TIA

The travel adjust is the same. Any questions post them up!

Splendid. Thanks Ben.

Oil grade and volumes would be very helpful

The 02 series line of shocks see a host of changes for 2016, including a new air canister design which adds 15% more air for smoother ramp up, increased tuning options with three different size air-can volume spacers, larger and more ergonomic knobs to allow for easier access to the adjustments, and a new name: 02 Pro. Developed over a two year period with the help of pro racer Brian Lopes, the 02 Pro line has a model for every occasion. Pick between models that feature multiple stage compression adjustment, on the fly lockout, or even a handlebar remote lock out.
