Discerning riders have long sworn by the performance, durability, and consistency of coil suspension.
While the industry moved away from coil springs in favor of air for its light weight and simple, broad tunability, these coil aficionados dreamt of a fork that combines coil’s advantages with the latest in chassis and damper technology. MRP delivers just that with the Ribbon Coil.
The Ribbon Coil gives you the spring tunability and stroke control previously found only with air, while giving you the supple linear spring curve, lower friction, longer service life and consistent feel that you get with a coil spring. This, in a package with a negligible or even nonexistent weight penalty over air forks in its class.
Every Ribbon Coil ships with three standard spring rates (soft, medium, and firm) and two additional springs (extrasoft and extra-firm) are available separately. The full range of springs covers riders from 57 - 116 kg. Fine-tuning of spring rate comes courtesy of an external preload adjustment.
The Ribbon's stout 35mm stanchions slide effortlessly on anti-friction treated wiper seals and slotted Norglide bushings. Also the appearance of the Ribbon stands out from the crowd by the Outcast™ arch design with forward-facing weight reliefs to mitigate mud build up - as mud and dirt are mainly thrown against the arch from behind.
The high performing coil spring is paired with the EssenTTial™ twin-tube, bladder-free damper that is utilizing a low-pressure IFP. Last but not least the developers has add PSST™ pressure-relief valves that quickly and easily bleed off excess pressure in the lowers caused by elevation and temperature changes.
The Ramp Control unit is located within the air spring assembly, and adjusted via a 16-position knob on the top of the fork leg. Ramp Control gives you the ability to adjust, on-the-fly, the air spring's ending-stroke curve. Part high-speed compression damping, part bottom-out control, Ramp Control is completely independent of your damper or air spring pressure settings. All MRP forks feature super-supple small-bump compliance, but with Ramp Control you can set your fork up to be super plush but still resist bottoming. Cadillac-plushness not your thing? Dial back the Ramp Control and up your pressure to enjoy a more linear fork that rides high but uses every inch of travel effectively.
ChocoLUXE Internals
ChocoLUXE is a proprietary material utilized in our damper plug, damper seal, damper IFP, and damper support. It’s highly dimensionally stable, meaning that parts made from it are more consistent overall and less susceptible to changing with exposure to temperature swings or humidity. It is also extremely low friction.
