Review: DVO Diamond fork

[Iwan Kemp]

Aimed directly at All Mountain and Enduro riding, the DVO Diamond is an air sprung fork with 130-160mm of travel. The Diamond is available in 27.5" and 29" options. It features a plethora of external adjustments that includes DVO's OTT (Off The Top) negative spring adjust borrowed from its bigger brother the inverted Emerald downhill fork. We've been testing a 27.5" 160mm model for the past 10 months.

You could add to the list of pro's that it looks awesome too. 

But I guess that is subject to individual taste.

I think it looks seriously hot and its different to millions of pikes lurking around.

When we featured it in our First Look Friday 10 months ago it was a grand cheaper than a Pike at R 13,500. Price has tanked the last 10 months for all the reasons we know about.

Yip,the DVO is still slightly cheaper than the Pike.

 

Good review Iwan. I love my Diamond especially as a biggish trail rider.

Really nice looking fork. Pity it don't come in 26 inch

Just check with custom bikes if they have stock left first. Think they were on promo there and as far as i recall they were showing out of stock on their site The last time I checked.

They are the local distro’s i think and you can buy direct too.
