MAGURA press release

March 2012

The right fork for every wheel
The new MAGURA TS suspension fork series

MAGURA has completely revised its suspension fork range. Now featuring new design
and new internals. The new forks answer to the name of MAGURA TS
(Team Suspension). Whether it's a 26", 29" or 650B/27.5" for the latest trend this
season MAGURA offers a matching model for every wheel diameter and a wide range
of applications.

Mountain bikes with large diameter wheels are in they promise a smooth ride at high
speed. But to make the most out of their potential you need to have a matching fork. That is
why the component specialist MAGURA has expanded its product range for 2012 to cater for
the new 29" and 650B/27.5" trends in mountain biking. The product range also includes new
models for 26" wheels with 80 to 150 millimetres of travel for
cross country, marathon and all mountain.

No compromise: MAGURA 29" suspension fork with M15 thru-axle
The new 29" forks are available with a travel of 80 up to 120 millimetres. Their design is
engineered without compromise for high stiffness. The ultra-stable DAD arch (Double Arch
Design) and the new MAGURA M15 thru-axles make a major contribution here. The steer
tube options offered by MAGURA are the standard 1 1/8" and a tapered version. The tapered
steer tubes can fit very short head tubes on small 29" frames.

MAGURA suspension forks for 650B/27.5"
MAGURA also has suspension forks to match the new trend in 650B/27.5" wheels with a
travel of 120 to 150 millimetres. They are compatible with almost all 650B/27.5" tyres
currently available on the market. The fork-design is weight-optimised.
DAD (Double Arch Design) and QR15 thru-axles ensure high stiffness.

The MAGURA suspension fork series
All TS forks have been developed based on the SLE concept (Stiffer, Lighter, Easier). This
means optimum stiffness at the lowest possible weight, extremely low maintenance, and a
easy set up. With the Fork Master Concept (FMC) it is possible to manufacture forks with a
sensitive response where special bushings, seals and surfaces work together with the Fork
Master Grease (FMG) to deliver an exceptional ride. The forks feature progressive
suspension characteristics that prevent over-response even in steep terrain. The TS8 R 150
is offered as a fixed travel version or with the LS (Lift Select) system.

M15 thru-axles with integrated tool
The new MAGURA M15 thru-axles have been especially developed for MAGURA 29"
suspension forks. A special feature is the self-retaining thread that makes additional locking
of the thru-axle unnecessary. Simply tighten the axle and the wheel is safely secured. The
MAGURA Tool for Torx T25 bolts is concealed inside the thru-axle, so you have always got
the tool for tightening the axle with you. At the same time it protects the thread against
contamination. The tool can also be used on the most bolts of MAGURA MT hydraulic
disc brakes and HS rim brakes. You can use them for changing brake pads or adjusting the
lever settings, for example. This system of axle and integrated tool weighs only
58 grams.

Perfect fit between discs and 29" or 650B/27.5" wheels
29" and 650B/27.5" suspension forks are supplied exclusively with the PM7 disc brake mount
for discs with a diameter of 180 millimetres and upwards. Large wheels also need large discs
to ensure performance and durability.

Protection Caps
An intuitive feature are the Protection Caps at the lower end of the forks. They prevent
damage to the drop outs and rebound dial while the wheel is removed. These are fitted to all
MAGURA forks with thru-axles.
