Lefty goes BIG.

 

The all-new SuperMax takes everything that makes Lefty great and supersizes it. The result: a fork as stiff and strong as most dual-crown DH forks, yet lighter than most all-mountain forks. Just the thing for longer-travel 29’ers.

MASSIVELY OVERSIZED

 

The SuperMax’s lower leg is 36mm in diameter, while the upper leg measures a whopping 46mm for maximum stiffness and steering precision.

SHORT STEM COMPATIBLE

 

To accommodate current trail riding set-ups, an offset axle allows the fork leg to sit further back, creating enough clearance to run stems as short as 50mm.

MULTIPLE SIZES

 

To ensure that riders can achieve the best fit on long travel 29’ers, the SuperMax is offered with multiple crown spacings to fit different headtube lengths.

WIDE FLANGE HUB

 

The new SuperMax Lefty hub features wider flange spacing which allows increased spoke angle for a stronger, stiffer wheel

About the same as the others top end, I saw one of Cannondale Experts for $1400 US, that's about the same as as the other carbon ones.

I love the feel of a lefty it just feels right and nimble/precise. Having a big hit ready lefty must be killer. Do they have a more budget option with a similar configuration?
