DT Swiss F 535 ONE: Design & Innovation Award 2019

DT Swiss are thrilled and honored to announce that the F 535 ONE has been awarded with the Design & Innovation Award!

The Design & Innovation Award is more than just a title-giver or a round of applause for brands. It’s the definitive award that decisively tests products in the real world, assessing them in their entirety and reaching considered verdicts. This year once again saw select international journalists, professional test riders, and industry experts invest countless hours of their time to partake in the DI.A process. The Design & Innovation Award is both a seal of approval and the benchmark achievement for the bike industry’s highest-performing products.

Here is what the Jury of the Design & Innovation Award said about the F 535 ONE:

"With its new F 535 ONE, DT Swiss has made an impressive comeback to the fork market. The new trail and enduro fork offers between 130 mm and 160 mm of travel and relies on a previously unused, travel-dependent damping technology called PLUSHPORT. Together with the COILPAIR spring, a combination of coil and air spring, the F 535 ONE reacts extremely sensitively to even the smallest impacts and, thanks to the newly conceived damping system and the variability of the air spring, offers enough support for hard impacts. “Set and Forget” is the credo of the fork and is reflected in the extremely clean look. All adjustment screws and valves are con¬cealed beneath high-quality covers and, thanks to the ingenious damping system, need only be used very rarely.”
