5.3.9 ETA
Available adjusters
ETA lever command
(2 positions OPEN/CLOSE)
The ETA cartridge is a system which limits travel with
the distinction of working on the rebound rather than the
compression as fork locking systems usually work.
Moreover the ETA cartridge does not completely block the
fork which maintains about 30mm of travel.
The ETA cartridge facilitates pedalling in ascent.
•
Travel reduced therefore less wavering
•
Fore-carriage lowered therefore the lower position of
the handlebar respect to its normal position facilitates
pedalling when the front wheel would normally tend to lose
adherence and lift up.
•
About 30mm travel even when the cartridge is activated
to surpass small obstacles and improve comfort respect
to total blockage.
When this function is deactivated the MTB returns to
normal, the bicycle returns to normal, the steering angle
opens offering the best performance in descent or on rough
ground.
Travel reduction is in proportion to how hard the rider is
pedalling, the harder the pedalling, the lower it goes.

ARNING
NEVER us the "CLOSE" position while riding downhill
as the fork will not react properly when hitting obstacles,
and can result in a loss of control of the bicycle, an
accident, personal injury, or death.
