The Selva V is a product of the long, rocky, technical trails found close to our factory in Tuscany and around the Mediterranean. These trails require a fork that is precise, responsive, consistent and comfortable. The Selva V uses a new low-friction air spring, a refined chassis and a proven damper to be all these things. New V Air Spring Low-friction design for performance and reliability Our floating piston design reduces friction throughout the stroke. The small imperfections inherent in metal can create friction at the main seal of the piston. By using an elastic mount which allows the piston to move both radially and axially, it can naturally compensate for these imperfections, reducing friction and providing a more consistent feel all the way through the stroke. A single air valve is used to inflate both positive and negative air chambers. To balance pressure between these chambers the Selva V uses a unique concentric bypass valve design, rather than a conventional bypass port. Repeated passage over a bypass groove can wear out a seal. To compensate for this a stronger, more robust seal is needed, one that inevitably adds friction The concentric bypass valve allows us to ditch grooves and reduce friction even more. All of this adds up to the lowest friction fork we have ever made, making this our most responsive fork ever. Refined Chassis We focused on steering precision rather than absolute stiffness, which is just one parameter. Thanks to the new lower leg design and the increased distance between the bushings, the Selva V is stiffer than the previous generation of Selva. The Selva V uses 35mm stanchions. This makes for a lighter, more comfortable fork that is less fatiguing, allowing you to ride faster for longer. A PM7 disc mount and an 8mm increase in axle to crown lengths bring the Selva V in-line with other brands. An integrated mudguard gives a clean look to the fork—and your face. Proven Damper The damper architecture is unchanged from the previous generation Selva. Change for change’s sake isn’t what we do. Our bladder design is sensitive, responsive and reliable. Internal Floating Technology has been a core part of our forks for 10 years. By using floating joints on the spring and damping systems, the forks internal components can work in harmony with the chassis. This helps eliminate the harshness caused by binding—when the fork absorbs impacts in a fully extended position— and allows the fork to absorb impacts more effectively. IFT means we don’t use oversized stanchions or add weight to reduce friction and increase sensitivity, we just use smarter design. Compression Tuning System are easily changeable valves that alter the suspension’s compression damping characteristics. CTS gives riders a quick, simple and reversible way of finding the right compression tune for the way they ride—no expensive re-shimming required. Two CTS valves are supplied with the fork with a further six available. The Formula Way We want to give riders the best experience for a fair price. Our products aren’t cheap but we believe they offer good value for money. The Selva V retails from £1070. Made in Italy We are an Italian engineering firm. We are committed to designing and building in Italy. Assembling in Europe is more expensive than mass production in the Far East but it gives us greater control over production and quality control. It also allows us to build to order. We don’t have a production line. Skilled technicians assemble each fork from start to finish. No Hidden Costs All the accessories, tools and consumables you need for setting up and regularly maintaining your fork are included in the box. Over the life of the fork this can save hundreds of euro.

We would rather sell you a fork you can use for 10 years than a new fork every year. Backwards compatible The V air spring is compatible with some previous generation Selva forks with air systems, offering riders a simple upgrade solution without the need to replace the entire fork.
