DT SWISS 232 ONE SUSPENSION

After testing the DT Swiss F 535 Darth Vader enduro and all-mountain suspension fork a couple of years ago, we had heard there would be more to come from the Swiss masters of wheels and wheel components. The DT Swiss F 535 impressed with its stiffness and very plush initial stroke that offered incredible traction. The DT Swiss 232 ONE range is at the short travel end of the spectrum and aims to ‘push the boundaries of XC even further’ and it includes a suspension fork, rear shock and short travel dropper post. If you’ve been keeping up with the World Cup cross-country (XCO) racing over the past few years, you’ll understand why even XC bikes are getting stiffer forks, far greater adjustability, wider tyres and rims, longer and slacker geometry, and of course – dropper posts.
