MRP has been busy testing and refining their Stage fork for several months, and will finally begin production in the coming weeks. They went to great lengths to ensure the fork has superb small bump compliance while still maintaining support further in the travel, ultimately deciding on an "Equal Air" spring system that equalizes the pressures between the positive and negative volumes. New teflon and aluminum disulfide seals also help keep the fork stiction free.

The fork is geared toward the enduro/all-mountain crowd with 150, 160, or 170mm of travel in 26 and 27.5-inch models. Big wheelers get some love too with a 130, 140, and 150mm options. The travel on each can be lowered 10mm internally if desired. Adjustments include 14 clicks of Ramp Control (end-stroke) and 8 positions on the compression side.
