Intend Blackline Bandit 29" 160mm-180mm Fork

If you have ever ridden a dual crown fork you know right away how much more direct it feels, especially smashing through chunky terrain where your bars are being pushed and pulled all over the shop. The Intend Bandit solves the issue of stiffness while offering a package that is suitable for all modern enduro bikes and everyday riders. It has none of the bulk of a full dual crown but offers a precision that no single crown can match. It also offers impeccable engineering and design that no large manufacturer can match. Intend is renown for its radical out of the box thinking.

By offering the extended left side of the fork not only for stiffness but the airspring can be extended and extra volume of air can be used. It uses 2 positive chambers - why bother? So the lower pressure chamber can be tuned to offer customisable low speed sensitivity then once it meets the set pressure of the 2nd chamber they essentially combine and work together as one main pressure chamber offering less progression but a bigger volume of air (unlike traditional forks that get some very radical ramp due to smaller volume size. "Just add more tokens bro"

And like the Ebonite single crown fork, the Bandit gets the oversized crown interface which offers the absolute best in stiffness, durability and no dang creaks. We should not have to live with creaking crowns on modern forks.

The damping of the Ebonite (and also all other Intend forks) is done with a shimstack based architecture. There is a compression piston and a rebound piston which provides the highspeed circuits, and there are lowspeed ports with external adjusters to get the setup done from outside. It's easy to remove and service and tune if you like.
