MRP Noken Suspension Assembly Black, RockShox 35mm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I installed the Noken on my Fox 38 and the difference in how the fork uses its travel is immediately noticeable. I could run a larger negative volume for better small bump sensitivity without the harsh progression at the end of the stroke that usually comes with it, and the fork finally started hitting full travel consistently on the rough stuff. It is one of the better value upgrades you can make to a long-travel fork.""Air springs have always asked riders to make a choice: sensitivity at the top of the stroke, support through the middle, or full use of the available travel. Getting all three at once has traditionally meant moving to a coil setup entirely. The MRP Noken Suspension Assembly changes that calculation, slotting into RockShox Zeb, RockShox 35mm, Fox 38, and Fox 36 forks to expand positive air chamber volume and reshape the spring curve into something far more linear and forgiving without swapping a single major component. By increasing effective air volume by the equivalent of 1. 1 Bottomless Tokens in RockShox applications or 1. 5 volume spacers in Fox forks, the Noken reduces the compression ratio throughout the stroke. The result is a fork that absorbs small trail chatter with genuine compliance, supports your weight through the mid-stroke without packing down, and reaches full travel on the hits that deserve it rather than ramping up steeply and leaving travel on the table. The Noken sits 10 to 13mm taller than a standard damper knob, so confirming downtube clearance before installation is essential. MRP offers 3D printable clearance check files and an optional Riser Crown Race in HighRise and LowRise configurations to make that process straightforward."
