The Sweep is the latest addition to X-Fusion’s 34-millimeter line of forks. The Sweep is a dedicated 27.5-inch (650b) wheel fork. X-Fusion contends that what sets the new fork apart from other 650b-dedicated forks is the offset. The Sweep’s 46-millimeter offset is said to provide precise, yet smooth handling characteristics matching the trail found on the 26-inch and 29-inch forks.
Inside the Sweep is X-Fusion’s RL2 damper system, which gives the rider rebound adjustment with an on-the-fly lockout lever. Helping control the fork when the terrain gets rough is X-Fusion’s secondary compression circuit, the Mid-Valve.
On top of the chassis and high-quality sealed damping system, the Sweep is also the first fork to receive X-Fusion’s new Nvolve custom seals, which are said to reduce the friction and breakaway force by up to 150 percent over “custom stanchion tube coatings” found on the market.
