CONDITION
Pre-Owned
Reasonable condition for a near 25-ish year old fork. Mileage and service history unknown.
Cosmetic: It looks great with just a bit of paint wear typical from use. the right upper ano tube is slightly faded to a gray as opposed to the normal black.
Performance:
A) Damper Side (Left): Action is smooth. Damper functions and rebound adjust works. It runs on needle bearings (you already know this), it is noisier than a normal fork/ you can hear the friction free action.

STORY TIME
The Moto FR was produced in 1998 and 1999 and was raced by the likes of Missy "The Missile" Giove and Myles Rockwell on their Cannondale Super V DH bikes (aka Cannondale Fulcrum), and yes, it was a high pivot. On the Volvo Cannondale team, they took names and broke hearts, dominated the world cup podium, took home UCI World Cup overall titles and World Championship wins on their way to the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame. Plus, both seemed to enjoy gardening, if you know what I mean.... and it also came on an XTR-loaded tandem. The '90s were weird! It retailed for about $600. It's a true Headshok product, with needle bearings and an "inverted" design. In its day, this was the real deal! Funny how coil high pivots are still cool going into 2023.

MANUFACTURER’s DESCRIPTION
The HeadShok Moto FR combines the versatility of a triple-clamp fork with the superior stiction-free performance of all the HeadShok forks. Unlike the other telescoping-blade suspension forks on the market, which use plastic or steel bushings to isolate the upper and lower sliding sections of the fork, the Moto FR’s suspension rolls up and down on needle bearings. These needle bearings virtually eliminate stiction that plagues bushing-type suspension forks.

The Moto FR uses a combination Coil/MCU spring element located in one fork blade to provide 100mm of plush front wheel travel. The other fork blade contains the Moto FR’s hydraulic damper cartridge, with its five-position Damping Dial.

The Moto FR’s hydraulic damper cartridge has four separate damping circuits (high speed compression and rebound, low speed compression and rebound), allowing the suspension to react to small bumps differently than it does to large impacts. The high-speed damping circuits are adjustable, allowing the rider to customize the ride of the bike to his or her liking.

The Moto FR’s slow speed damping can be adjusted via a five-position Damping Dial while the bike is being ridden. A 90 deg. turn of the dial changes the damping from fully open and plush to firm, reducing the bouncing sometimes induced by hard pedaling in a climb.

The head tube angle may be adjusted. This is done by changing the position of stanchion tubes within the fork’s triple clamps.
