RST had an E TACK-branded upside-down gravel fork featuring an electronic damper on its stand at the Taipei international Cycle Show. The fork is designed to work with electric gravel bikes, taking charge from the main battery, but it can also be used with conventional gravel bikes using a battery in the steerer tube. Its not the first upside-down gravel fork weve seen, with Cane Creeks Invert CS impressing us with its take on the theme. RSTs fork goes one step further, though, with the electronic damper controlling the 60mm of travel. The cable routing may not be the neatest. Nick Clark / Our Media There are three modes for the damper: Open, Pedal and Closed, while the Auto setting cycles through them by sensing the ground you're pedalling on using accelerometers. Buttons are mounted near the hoods. Nick Clark / Our Media You can take command yourself, with buttons mounted to the handlebar that control the damper's setting. The battery sits in the steerer tube on non-assisted bikes. Nick Clark / Our Media The fork is also said to feature a built-in mudguard. 32in forks for the masses? Nick Clark / Our Media Elsewhere on the stand, RST displayed its 32er fork, which shares an upside-down design but is focused on cross-country mountain biking. Upside-down forks are more at risk of scratched stanchions. Nick Clark / Our Media The fork sees guards positioned over the stanchions, and if I had to describe it in one word, it would be 'black'. No doubt about it, this is a basic fork. Nick Clark / Our Media An air-spring system is used internally, and the fork provides 90mm of travel, putting it on the shorter side compared to XFusions Rezza 32er. There's no word as yet on pricing, but we can expect to see 32in making its way to more affordable bikes in the future.
