Yeah I need to get a 140mm shaft for mine, Auron shafts are the same as the Durolux. Shipping is a killer but super easy to swap over

That's interesting, so one could run the Durolux at 140mm using the Auron shaft? Or does that pose problems as they state travel from 150mm to 170mm IIRC?
Opted for 170 travel. I’ve just emailed them about adding a 160 air shaft.
@Litenbror do you want me to ask for a 140 for you and get it all together? I didn’t see this until after I had sent the email..

Should be able to get any Auron shaft in there without a worry.

I made the same mistake myself and ended up with a 180mm monster. Still felt great though! Sanity prevailed and I dropped it down to something more reasonable.
Hope you enjoy the fork. When you first get them, drop the lowers and regrease the felt wipers. They don't use much oil so it's a super easy job.

Do they have a 20mm axle?

Ahhhh...I'm still living the 20mm dream.
I did look at them as they get decent reviews but they only go to 160 for the 29er and I need something that can stretch to 170 for my other bike.
I discovered that my Onyx Vesper hubs just need a change of end caps to run a 20mm axle. I emailed Intend immediately upon discovering that to ask for a 20mm axle lol.

It is the only fork axle that should exist.

I’ve got the older version with the coil negative and it’s a very good fork. Can’t give feedback on the EQ but I hear it’s good.
I don’t find the extra 10mm ATC to affect me at all and travel can be adjusted easily if need be (actually, not sure that’s true if the EQ)
Formula did a quiet update late last year and released an extended version of the 29 chassis that allows 160 or 170 travel.
The standard version allows 140-160.

Did you ever play with different weight negative springs? They were offered / available.

In my old durolux I used the light spring. With the regular spring I couldn't get 25% sag with enough air pressure to fully extend the fork. It was a night and day difference, went from unrideable to really good with just changing the negative spring.

I know it's not a bargain from the likes of CRC of old, but a 58% discount is nothing to sneeze at:
