Essential Suspension Fork for Urban Bikes
The Perfect Balance Between Reliability and Affordability!
An Urban Suspension Born from a 100% French Partnership!
Imagined in Vienne during the first Made in France bicycle convention, then brought to life through a committed partnership between Protoform Bourgogne and Motion Engineering, Essential reflects the shared ambition of both companies: to design a robust, accessible suspension perfectly adapted to everyday use, while relying on local and innovative production.
Recyclability, Local Production and Innovation:
The chassis of the Essential fork is made of reinforced, recyclable technical polymer. This bold choice combines cost control, mechanical performance and recyclability. Thanks to the expertise of Protoform Bourgogne, a specialist in technical plastics, this industrial challenge was successfully met, resulting in a component that is strong, recyclable, and simple to manufacture.
TECHNOLOGIES
Anti-Dive – A Brand Signature:
The Essential shares its lineage with our brand’s flagship suspensions, such as the E18 and La City, by showcasing our anti-dive technology. This unique feature provides exceptional stability across all terrains.
Another key feature: an innovative kinematic design, consisting of only two distinct parts – the rocker and the caliper support. This minimalist approach allows for easy assembly, enhances mechanical reliability, and helps reduce production costs, while ensuring optimal dynamic performance.
ADVANTAGES
- Safety: Anti-dive behavior to maximize absorption and stability
- Simplicity
- Integration
- Reliability
- Low Maintenance
