SR Suntour Durolux fork

I am not yet sure if it is any good (it will take at least one month to fully evaluate it), but I am blown away by the lightness of it. The fork has 180mm of travel, but it weighs, as measured by myself on a digital gram level scale, just 2.6kg!

I am having some problems adjusting it. Currently, at correct sag it dives like an Olympic champion (or an Italian football player ). I am optimistic however, since with two air chambers I am bound to eventually come up with the right combination to suit my frame geometry and weight.

It looks nice

Yeah, but it's rated at 5 stars, so it must be the best.

In any case, the damping system (and what kind it is) is a very critical thing, a fork can be light, heavy, big, small, but if the damping system isn't that good it isn't worth much. I'm always interested to know what kind of damping systems that the forks have and how they perform at high speed, low speed, through real rough choppy stuff, and so on.

I suspect you're bound to a single air pressure, since that "clever" travel adjust system, most likely, is a diaphragm which sits between the positive and the negative which you open when you engage the travel adjust remote.

Eh, its not rated. The stars you see are a default image and are actually "blank". Besides, the rating is for the articles, not the products

I played with the pressures some more and will take it to another ride this morning. The main chamber is now at 50psi, while the second chamber (the rebound and compression cartridge) is at the maximum pressure of 180psi.

The travel now seems more progressive, ie. it ramps up somewhat further into travel. I hope this effect is noticeable on the trail.

No, the pressure in both chambers is fully adjustable, however I wish I knew if the main spring is just air or air assisted coil. I may try to get a hold of one of their engineers to tell me more about it.
