Traction was increased across chatter and the fork remained higher in its travel and more stable, improving the dynamic ride height without sacrificing the top end. My confidence soared when hitting sections with a lot of chatter and mid to large-sized hits, and the result meant more comfort and speed through such sections.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVital MTB:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Luftkappe blends sensitive small-bump compliance, mid-stroke support, and bottom-out resistance perfectly; pretty close to the holy grail of suspension performance - as good as the stock fork is, we no longer want to be without the Luftkappe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey things to note before you start (from the installation manual):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou need a \u003ca href=\"\/search?keywords=torque%20wrench\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003etorque wrench\u003c\/a\u003e.
