36 Van180 FIT RC2 Taper

Each model in the RC2 lineup features our all-new FIT RC2 inverted damper, the industry benchmark for damping performance and reliability. The new FIT RC2 damper lowers un-sprung weight, allowing the fork to react quicker for better steering control. Its unique single-wall bladder design has been engineered to provide incredibly reliable and consistent, fade-free damping. The inverted design offers the same range of adjustability, but the adjusters have been moved to the top of the stanchion for better convenience.

We designed the 36 180 mm series with an incredibly large amount of bushing overlap and a new below axle tube design, creating an extremely stiff chassis and the lowest axle-to-crown distance available in a 180 mm fork. RC2 models come with Kashima Coat stanchions for stiction-free performance, to give you quicker suspension response and improved durability. Riders who crave the linear progression of a coil spring will love the new, long travel, lightweight and silky-smooth VAN.
