THE EPICA CARTRIDGE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE BEST PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT BY PROVIDING MAXIMUM TUNABILITY
Our new EPICA Cartridge System culminates years of experience, testing, and development into a single project. The main goal for this project was to develop a highly tunable cartridge to allow riders to fine-tune their forks in ways that were never before possible. Below is a breakdown of the critical features of this innovative design.
External adjustments:
- Compression damping – 60 clicks of sensitive adjustment– Adjustment at the top of the cartridge.
- Rebound damping – 50 clicks of sensitive adjustment– Located at fork bottom.
- External spring preload adjustment – 0 to 15mm– Easily adjusted with a 16mm socket at the fork bottom.
Innovative Features:
- Bladder System
- Our bladder system prevents performance loss with standard internal spring systems (due to hydraulic support decay).
- Internal oil compensation with increased volume for a better high-speed response.
- Ability to tune bladder pressures via the side bleed spring.
- EPICA cartridge incorporates Lainer’s Progressive Damping System (PDS) for increased hydraulic damping at the end stroke.
- The PDS system has up to 12 adjustments for the end stroke stiffness.
- High-Speed compression piston is reversible with an extensive range of settings.
Technical Specs:
- Machined from premium 7075 and 6060 alloys and hard anodized.
- Reversible High-Speed compression piston – outer diameter = 38 mm.
- Side A (Flat valve surface) – 34mm OD shims for motocross and enduro.
- Side B (Convex valve surface) – 32mm OD shims for supercross.
- Option to configure Low-Speed Valve (LSV) on compression base valve.
- Cartridge rod diameter = 14 mm (for an increased oil flow).
- Rebound piston diameter = 25mm for better hydraulic control.
- Compression high/low-speed shims ID 12 mm.
- Maximum travel = 310 mm.
- Maximum shim diameter for Mid-Valve By-pass = 21 mm.
- Ability to set Mid-Valve float clearance with the stack shims.
- Mid-Valve/By-pass floating shim ID = 6 mm (for a soft response at high speed on the braking bumps).
- Rebound shims ID = 6 mm (uses triangular mid-valve shims to avoid oil turbulence on compression).
- Low friction NBR bottom seal.
- Ability to extend the cartridge through the nylon washers.
