The DH38 m.2 is the evolution of the original DH38 m.1 platform, with tasteful updates in the pursuit of all out speed. While it’s still sporting the same TTX18 damper and three chamber air spring, they’ve both been tuned to make the fork more progressive, more comfortable, and more sensitive off the top to appeal to not only the hardcore racer, but also the weekend warrior looking for comfort and performance.A new surface treatment on the stanchions called micro-polishing increases the sensitivity of the fork through increased lubrication and decreased friction. Inside the damper, there is a slightly lighter compression tune from the factory that will make the fork slightly less “racey”, and pushes it in the “comfort” direction, without losing that race focused design ethos Ohlins is known for.
