COQS - Computer Optimized Quick Stiffener

“What if you could bring the inherently confidence-inspiring ride quality of a dual-crown fork to a long-travel enduro fork, or even add more stiffness to an already burly DH setup?"

The grey area between the ferocity of downhill riding, repeated bike park laps, and aggressive trail riding can benefit hugely from a system that allows real-time stiffness optimization in the fork when you need it, yet retains flexible compliance when you don’t.

With the help of Computer-Aided Design, Fused Deposition Modeling, feedback from some of the best riders at this one trail, and designed by one of the product designers of all time, a new era of mountain bicycling has dawned:

Riders, it’s time to grab your COQS: Computer Optimized Quick Stiffener.

COQS revolutionizes the already innovative “bolt on, quick swap” (BOQS) mudguard system first introduced by CavaNero in 2021 and works to increases rigidity between the fork and frame in real time, at every single fork compression. All you need to do is swap out your existing BOQS fender and replace it with COQS.

How it works:
First, a specially designed stanchion, aligned exactly to the fork’s steerer tube opening, travels upward and into the cavity, creating an additional interface between the fork and the bike frame. More surface area between fork steerer and frame equals more rigidity. Simple.

However, unlike a heavier dual-crown fork, this interface is instantaneous and only exists during suspension compression, when the most force is exerted onto the bike. Upon rebound, the COQS shaft exits the fork steerer and normal fork compliance returns. This process happens automatically without any further rider input.

Next, a specially designed bottom out bumper at the base of the stanchion is designed to absorb any particularly harsh hits when COQS smashes upward against the fork crown. A low-density cavity combined with surface ridges ensure that impact forces dissipate through the fender and not through the frame.

All of this means that on the most demanding terrain, COQS leaves the rider feeling confident to push harder and send deeper than ever. And of course, mud deflection remains, keeping stanchions clean and your face safe from spray.

Warning: due to the addictive nature of aggressive riding, equipping COQS on your bike may cause extra wear and tear on the frame, as well as excessive fatigue in the arms and hands of a rider, so it is highly recommended to not ride for more than 4 hours at a time, and to hydrate accordingly. Finally, it is not recommended for use by riders under age 18.
