    Ohlins RXF

    Dear Specialized Rider,

    At Specialized, your safety is our primary concern. So, whenever this is compromised, we take immediate action.

    Based upon reports from the field, we've concluded that the Öhlins RXF 36 29/27.5+ and 27.5” Air Forks that are spec’d as original equipment on the 2017 Stumpjumper, Enduro, and Fuse, the 2018 Stumpjumper, Enduro, Turbo Levo, and Fuse, and the Öhlins RXF 34 Air fork sold separately in the aftermarket, may contain a defect in the top cap which potentially affects safety. Specifically, the right-side top cap on some forks may not be adequately torqued, which in some cases, may lead to the top cap working itself free through riding. When this happens, the air cartridge may abruptly spring out of the stanchion tube causing a risk of injury to the rider. Therefore, we've decided to ask riders to stop riding, and our retailers to stop selling, affected forks and bicycles.

    We are working, urgently, in partnership with Öhlins on a remedy to this issue. Once we have obtained the necessary government approvals on our solution, we will issue a recall to fix the forks and get you back riding. As we progress with our recall strategy and approvals, we will provide weekly updates on this page.

    Please note that other Öhlins Forks, such as the RXF 36 Coil forks, are unaffected by this notice.

    We wish to apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

    Thanks for riding Specialized.

    Fourches Ohlins RXF

    Cher\(e\) client\(e\) Specialized,

    Nous nous sommes engagés à vous tenir informé\(e\) de l’avancement de la situation au sujet du rappel des fourches Öhlins comme communiqué précédemment le 17 septembre 2018.

    Nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer qu’Öhlins a avancé sur le sujet et a soumis un rapport qui va être examiné par les autorités compétentes \(Protection des Consommateurs aux Etats-Unis : « United States Consumer Product Safety Commission»\). Beaucoup de facteurs retardent l’approbation finale, c’est pourquoi nous ne pouvons pas encore vous annoncer une date précise. Nos équipes Qualité, Juridique et Rider Care se sont néanmoins engagées auprès d’Öhlins et des agences de réglementation à faire en sorte que la procédure avance au plus vite.

    Nous sommes conscients que vous avez fait l’acquisition de votre vélo dans le but de rouler avec et cette situation perturbe malheureusement vos excursions, vos compétitions et vos sorties entre amis. Nous travaillons actuellement avec Öhlins afin de trouver une solution durable et nous engageons à tout mettre en œuvre pour vous permettre de continuer à rouler avec votre vélo.

    Nous allons continuer à vous tenir informé\(e\) de la situation de façon hebdomadaire sur cette page. Nous vous invitons donc à consulter celle-ci dans une semaine.

    Nous vous remercions à nouveau pour votre patience et pour avoir choisi Specialized.

    October 26, 2018: Öhlins RXF Update

    Dear Specialized Rider,

    The safety and reliability of our products is a top priority for us. We have identified a potential problem with an Ö hlins branded RXF36 Air and RXF34 Air suspension forks sold as aftermarket equipment and as original equipment on some Specialized-branded Enduro, Stumpjumper, Fuse, and Levo mountain bicycles. The products were sold between January 2016 through September 2018.

    We have received some reports of the air cartridge abruptly springing out of the fork stanchion tube posing fall and injury risks to the rider. We initiated a voluntary report with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) and are working closely with them on a press release announcing the recall shortly.

    We are advising customers globally who have purchased Specialized-branded Enduro, Stumpjumper, Fuse, and Levo mountain bicycles with Öhlins branded RXF36 Air and RXF34 Air suspension forks to immediately stop riding and bring them to their Specialized dealer to receive the repair.

    We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause our customers, but it is critically important to us to do everything we can ensure that our bicycles are as safe and reliable.

    Please email

    [email protected] or call directly at 877-808-8154 if you have any questions.
