THE ONYX 38 D1 SL
Experience incredible steering precision, small bump sensitivity, and absolute control with the new Onyx 38. A unique E-Designed chassis, wider-than-ever stance, and burly 38mm stanchions launch the Onyx into a new era of MTB Suspension.
All new demands require all new thinking. The Onyx D1 38 sets a new benchmark in E-Designed suspension. What does it mean to be truly E-Designed? For too long, brands have retrofitted “acoustic” forks for e-bikes with minor tweaks—extra compression damping, a thicker crown, or simply “add 10 PSI.” That’s not enough.
We started from scratch, asking: How do we create a fork that flexes as one unit? How do we deliver precise steering without harshness? How do we handle the added weight and forces of e-bikes? These questions formed the backbone of our design.
After years of engineering and testing, we built a fork that doesn’t just meet the demands of aggressive e-bike riding—it redefines what suspension can be, period.
This isn’t just the pinnacle of E-Bike suspension. It’s the new standard.
ONE UNIT CHASSIS DESIGN
Each critical piece of the chassis was designed to work together, as One Unit. Based on our engineering and design efforts, we focused on designing a chassis that was compliant enough to mitigate low & high frequency vibrations while dispersing the energy waves throughout the entire chassis structure. This delivers unmatched confidence in terms of traction, braking, steering precision and comfort.

The D1 Damper gets a significant update with High-Flow Compression and Rebound porting, enhancing performance and tuning. The new Compression design offers high-flow, linear suspension for initial damping without high-speed harshness. The high-flow linear Rebound improves response without sacrificing control. The Compression Bladder System is now 30% larger, boosting small bump sensitivity and damping consistency.

The steering precision is insane!” One comment we keep hearing over and over from every level of tester. We strategically reinforced and relieved specific areas of the arch for incredible precision without the dreaded deflection or harshness.

Increased drop for extra down-tube clearance. Strategically variable wall-thickness for improved stiffness and strength. Oversized crown-race platform puts more material around the steer tube. This helps to stabilize the steer in high load situations and offers a clean look on modern bikes. Dual Hollow Bore Design.

“The fork offers a very precise and solid platform to steer, load and push into, however it wasn’t abusive either. Sure, it’s a stiff fork and does like to be told what to do. but I found it to me more damped – mostly in terms of vibration frequencies – than other competitors.” – The Loam Wolf
