Touring Valving means the upper part of the stroke provides a comfortable, plush ride. As the stroke deepens, the valving manages the forces, allowing the fork to adapt to the road surface for optimal traction and road-holding capability, even with a fully loaded bike. "This fork is specifically designed and recommended for long-distance riders seeking the ultimate touring experience."
Performance Valving is "developed tuning" of the kind used by track riders and those who ride hard. The length option is +2" which is especially suited for aggressive riders looking to maximize their lean angle. This option raises the ride by 2 inches, boosting ground clearance - "perfect for high-speed twisties and track use."
