The Lefty Ocho 120. Quite simply the most advanced, smooth and responsive fork Cannondale has ever made. Built for challenges. Built for wins. Built for everyone who believes in their success.
Incredibly smooth damping comes from the lowest-friction fork design ever developed. Precision that comes from rigidity, engineered for maximum control.
With only one triple clamp and only one fork leg, all the material is concentrated where it is needed to make the fork strong and stiff. The result is one of the lightest suspension forks in the world. With less unsprung mass than conventional forks, it has better damping and suspension characteristics. The tapered steerer tube ensures lower weight and extensive compatibility with many frames. A triple clamp is all you need.
Soar over the bumps. Defying the obstacles on the ground that would lift you over the handlebars. Get you where you want to go. In terms of suppleness, the Ocho Carbon with 120 mm of travel leads all rankings. Less friction-generating bushings and seals than any other fork. The smooth new Chamber Damper and the evolution of the revolutionary needle bearing construction of the Lefty – Delta Cage. It all adds up to one of the smoothest forks ever made. No jerking, trembling or hesitation no matter how hard you push her. Just pure and smooth response for ultimate control on the trail.
However, like many other properties, stiffness is a double-edged sword: too soft and you end up with a fork that doesn’t get you where you want to go. Too stiff or stiff in the wrong places and the landing gear will kick and bounce instead of floating and gliding. The unique construction of the Ocho with only one clevis and the triangle in triangle fork leg gives the engineers unprecedented possibilities to perfectly adjust the stiffness of the fork. Stiffness to move forward and glide so you always stay in the flow.
OppO air spring
A robust air spring system with a self-adjusting negative spring. Perfectly balanced and adapted to the 120 mm travel.
Chamber damper
The newly developed and self-bleeding high-flow damper with heat compensation and externally adjustable rebound and compression damping delivers smooth performance and jerk-free damping in all conditions.
Compression level adjustable from the outside
The easy-to-reach knob offers six clicks for perfect compression adjustment
SideCar air valve
Easily accessible to adjust your setup at any time in seconds.
lock out
Simply designed and reliably working lockout with an operation on the handlebars.
Triangle-in-triangle construction
The needle bearings on three sides inside the stanchion prevent the dip tube from twisting and give you incredible steering precision.
StopLock brake socket
The self-adjusting brake socket with PM 180 mm standard can be removed with a 180° turn of the quick release. So nothing stands in the way of a quick and easy impeller removal. With the right adapter, brake discs up to 203 mm are permitted.
Guide Guard
Protects the lower fork leg and guides your brake line up cleanly and without rattling. A SAG indicator is printed on the inside to be able to adjust your setup perfectly.
NOTE: The fork does not come with a remote. Any remote with a 10 mm cable can be used.
