CHARGE HARD
Based on the solid foundation of our D1 platform, this is the E1 series. Though many E suspension platforms take an approach of increased compression damping and higher air pressure, we knew there was more to it. The approach was to make a comfortable ride that maintained control when pushed hard. E-MTB’s provide the luxury of ripping both up and down the trail. Due to this, comfort was paramount as you pedal over obstacles at high speed. Increasing compression damping wasn’t the simple answer. Our D1 damper maintains a lighter compression tune for a supple ride that keeps you fresh until the battery runs out.
Due to the added weight and mileage from an E-MTB, we increased the bushing overlap within the casting. This provides two benefits; structural stability and longevity. When pushed hard, the increased overlap maintains structural integrity for precise steering in big hit situations. Durability also comes into play with the luxury of riding farther in a shorter amount of time. The new bushing design will allow you to rack up the miles without the loss in performance.
It’s a simple approach, but aren’t those always the best. Small changes equate to big advantages on the trail. This is the E1 series.

67% More Bushing Overlap

Durability also comes into play with the luxury of riding further in a shorter amount of time. The new bushing design will allow you to rack up the miles without the loss in performance.
Compression Bladder
At the heart of the damper is our compression bladder. An industry exclusive feature that surrounds a bladder with a large volume of oil and compresses it throughout the entire stroke. This provides unrivalled small bump sensitivity, durability and damping consistency for long rides in rough conditions.
- No stiction.
- Large oil volume.
- Consistent damping.
- Extremely durable.
- Unique ride characteristics.
Your Hands Will Thank You
Our industry exclusive OTT feature really sets DVO products apart from anything else. It allows you to perfectly fine tune how the initial stroke feels without any mid/end stroke compromise. You really do get the best of both worlds.
The OTT feature works by using a 5mm allen key to externally add or remove preload on a coil negative spring. Once you're about 30% of the way through the travel, the OTT spring is completely disengaged and your get into the positive air spring which controls your mid-stroke and bottom out. Set your air pressure for how you want the fork to feel in the mid to end stroke and fine tune your small bump sensitivity with the OTT feature.
Integrated Fender
For a clean and polished look that both functions and looks killer. A fully integrated fender comes with our fork for those sloppy days on the mountain!
