The remote lockout interface to the top of the fork is designed in such a way that it cannot easily be removed. Unlike other remote lockouts, this will not work without the trigger attached.

Bottom Line:
This fork is amazing, when paired to this bike in particular it creates a great cross country package. I haven't used a fork with this amount of travel for xc racing before, but the smooth ride and light weight of this fork have changed my mind.
