Riese & Müller Load 60 or 75 cargo bikes need better suspension.

The full package includes a new fork, new shock, new lower headset, new shock hardware plus:
•   Configuration of the fork and modification to the headset so they bolt straight on.
•   New hub to fit the new fork, to be built into existing wheel using existing rim, spokes and nipples if condition allows.

Manitou Front Suspension Options
We have two options for the front of the Riese & Müller Load 60/75 cargo bikes:
•   Machete JUnit Pro 32 mm.  These are Manitou's first generation of the JUnit forks.  They are gloss black with a silver crown and come with Manitou's IRT (Infinited Rate Tune) Volume Adjuster and Dorado Air Spring.  We have been able to secure a very small number of these first generation JUnit forks.  Please contact us to confirm availability.
•   JUnit Comp 32 mm.  These are Manitou's second generation of the JUnit forks and are based on the original Machete JUnit Expert (as pictured here on the Riese & Müller Load 75 cargo bike).  The Junit Comp 32 mm fork is matte black with black crown, does not have the IRT and uses Manitou's Expert Air Spring.

Important:
The Manitou JUnit forks are rated for up to 150 kg on conventional bikes with load through the steerer tube.  Use of the forks on other bikes, including those with a steering clamp like the Riese Müller cargo bikes, is at owner's own risk.

Customer feedback for the Manitou JUnit fork:

Superb fork - I bought this to use on an electric cargo bike, and it's exceeded my expectations. It made a huge improvement in compliance and handling over the cheap stock fork, and everything feels top-quality. Very responsive adjustments and very refined damping feel; it simply eats curbs and drops, and the stiffness is really noticeable and confidence-inspiring at high speed (up to 70 km/h so far) compared to the low-grade fork it replaced. Awesome bottom-out control too.

It's so nice to have a high-quality suspension option in this wheel size.
