New Canyon DT Swiss gravel fork tested at The Traka in the pouring rain

Is gravel suspension a good idea? I tested a Canyon Grail with the new DT Swiss F 132 One 40mm fork at The Traka in Spain, and I have to say it warmed me up to an idea I've long been skeptical about. Joining models from RockShox Rudy, Fox, MRP and Cane Creek, DT Swiss just launched the F 132 ONE, a 40mm gravel suspension fork that is exclusive to Canyon for 2025. How is it different than the others, how does it feel, and is gravel suspension even worth the tradeoffs with weight and complexity? I get into all of that here. I speak to people from both DT Swiss and Canyon about the design and all the testing and philosophy that went into it. -- New Cannondale Topstone Lefty tested at Valley of Tears https://youtu.be/qiU0lSnN_2U -- Want to see what I'm testing and where?
