Closed Cartridge Forks vs Open

fizz · Jun 28, 2010

Hi

I am looking at buying a FE390. I have read in this forum that the 2011 model has Closed Cartridge Forks. Can someone please explain what the benefits over Open is, and is it worth me waiting for the 2011 model a couple of months away, or just get the 2010.

Thanx in advance
Fizz

IMO, the CC forks are the only way to go. It will really depend on what terrain you ride.

Front Suspension
All SX models are fitted with the latest generation of 48 mm USD front forks “made by WP in Austria.” Due to intense development in the recent years the “WP closed cartridge technology” has been fine-tuned for excellent sensitivity and damping characteristics, which has been proven in many shootouts of the last season. For MY 2011 new settings for each model match perfectly the needs of new chassis packages. Due to an internal closed damping cartridge these forks create more consistent damping characteristics in extreme use situations than open cartridge systems.
