As the ni ame suggests. the MRP Rfirm Control will help the rider to tune their fork’s end-stroke progression (ingso cseveringed Rfirm) on the fly with 16 clicks of get usedine. Sounds just a little like a volume sp_ designr. right? It’s not.

There’s a key element difference. Nooh Sears explains that while the RCC is hrequesty to increottom the fork’s Rfirm. it does so without influencing the smsevering run sensitivity or mid-stroke support. That’s due to the fenair conditionertmenthasn’t ever wind up beingfore going to a volume get usedine… it’s somewhat clever tha subaloneytantial that. Tyler got the full expla subaloneytantialine from Nooh .
