Downhill forks are constantly exposed to an extraordinary amount of stress, especially in the thru-axle area: Nero C fork is fitted with a new locking system called Firm. When designing it, the aim was to make wheel changes quick and easy, getting rid of multiple screws on the lowers, and at the same time offering the maximum stiffness. The Firm system centres on a 20mm thru-axle that is secured by a “counter-knob” that is tightened after the axle is installed and prevents the axle from unscrewing, providing maximum security and minimum weight.
