Ride It All

Selva S represents the benchmark for enduro, aggressive trail biking, and e-mountain biking. Awesome reliability thanks to the triple stage coil negative spring on the air side. A great user-friendly approach with versatility in mind.

Thanks to CTS technology the Selva S features a completely customizable damping, adaptable to any riding style. With the Selva S you get two CTS valves, Gold (installed) and Blue (in the box).

With the Internal Floating Technology (IFT), a super reliable system that drastically reduces the typical friction of a traditional fork, the Selva S ensures maximum smoothness and allows for a great fine-tune adjustability.

Selva S is the fork that brings together two different worlds: ease of use and in-depth customization. A fork that, in a few years, has been able to establish itself as the first choice for many riders.

Neopos is a technology that represents the next evolutionary step in air suspension, a cutting-edge innovation that will change your riding experience for the better. Neopos stands for “new positive”, a technology that improves the behavior of the fork’s positive air chamber. Using the Neopos the result will be a more constant, predictable and comfortable air suspension. Meaning, more like that of a coil spring suspension comfort.

Hexagon Design
The ability of a fork to resist flexing is a key factor for maximum riding precision. A fork that rebounds too fast may make riding unsafe with an overall lack of control, above all when braking and cornering. In the same way, it is important that the fork is not too stiff, because it may make riding too tiring. When designing the Selva S we had a fundamental aim in mind, finding the perfect balance point between stiffness and flex, this is the same as our standard forks. Thanks to the Hexagon Design, the natural flex of the fork has been dramatically decreased with this lightweight method. In this way, we have managed to combine the advantages of the standard boost with the stiffness of a traditional fork.
Remote Cartridge Control is an on-the-fly sytem that finely tunes the overall compression. In most of the forks, tuning options must be done on the fork itself or remotely by a mechanical cable rotating a knob. With our RCC, we took a completely different approach: a remote adjustment that becomes integrated into the cartridge. We give the riders the  opportunity to adjust the overall compression on the trail, while riding, right from the cockpit. With RCC, the fine tuning of overall compression is controlled by 13 different positions, from fully open to locked out.
The IFT (Internal Floating Technology) is what truly differentiates our forks from any other fork. Smoothness is very important in terms of suspension performance. After many tests on stanchion coatings, we now know that they have a minimal effect on reducing friction. With the IFT we wanted to approach this aspect from a very different point of view. All forks, regardless of their stiffness, experience some kind of lateral stress while riding. This type of stress increases the friction of the internal parts. Thanks to Formula’s design, our hydraulic cartridge is structurally merged with the stanchions and lower legs. In a riding situation, our internals compensate for the external stresses placed on the fork. This causes an incredible reduction of friction.
ILS Technology Formula
ILS (Integrated Locking System) completely improves the thru-axle design. The lever is easily removable for re-insertion at virtually any position. The ILS can be used on a rear axle that requires a tool for removal. On top of that, the ILS is designed to prevent overtightening of the front axle, making wheel removal quick and simple. For our weight freak friends, the ILS can be removed without affecting the functionality of the thru-axle.
Tuning your fork has never been so straight-forward. With CTS you can fine tune your suspension quickly with extreme accuracy. You decide what’s the best setting for you and your fork, choosing among 8 different behaviors. You set it up by yourself in five minutes, in your workshop. Freedom is now in your hands.

Reviews

The best 160mm MTB fork you can buy
"The new Selva is the Lamborghini of suspension forks, bristling with intelligent features and unique design concepts. From controls that look borrowed from the finest italian coffee machine, to the burly and powerful looking chassis, the Selva oozes style".

Formula Selva 2017
"The Selva is for the tinkerer of the bike world; it’s aimed at those who like to adjust things and play with settings. Formula has brought pro-level suspension tuning to the home mechanic (with the CTS system), allowing even the fussiest riders to tune their forks exactly how they like".

Formula Selva 29 - Adaptable to everyone!
"…just a word to describe the fork. WOW! With an irrepressible appetite, the Formula Selva 29 devours everything, with a lot of hunger for more. […] The longer we were on the Formula Selva, the more we thought: I didn't know that I could ride this section so fast."

Suspension tinkerers rejoice!
"I was firstly struck by that the Selva must rate as the most supple fork I have ever ridden. […] It felt like the most composed, stiffest 29er enduro fork I’ve ever ridden".
