But most of all, it\u2019s about finding freedom, and XFUSION wants to help you unlock even more routes\u2014and more freedom\u2014with the G.E.T. 30 fork. Built with the modern gravel bike in mind, this well-balanced fork aims to combine comfort and efficiency while ensuring easy transitions from technical trails to smoother ground.<\/p>\n<iframe class=\"fp-remove\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FcqO1Q_d7p4?si=ONg4b2Jz83ScvJAR\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<h2>Smooth Transitions for Bumpy Trails<\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019re chasing big miles deep in the mountains, don\u2019t count on having ideal conditions on every road and trail. The G.E.T. 30 fork was built to ensure that your riding stays consistent, even when the terrain doesn\u2019t. Its Finecut RL2 damper features rebound adjustment and external lockout for a smooth ride on bumpy singletrack and efficient output on long gravel climbs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_977588\" class=\"pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"damper\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-977588\" src=\"https:\/\/velo-cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/xfusion_inline_1-scaled.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover\"><figcaption class=\"pom-caption\"><span class=\"article__caption\">A close-up of the Finecut RL2 damper.<\/span> (Photo: XFUSION)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s also easy to adjust the performance as the terrain changes, thanks to the G.E.T. 30\u2019s compatibility with the XFUSION Q-Flip two-lever system. Built specifically for use with drop handlebars, Q-Flip offers control of both the fork lockout and a dropper seatpost from the same easy-to-reach cockpit setup. The fork can be run with the hand lockout knob or easily converted to the Q-Flip remote by swapping the top cap and adding the cable lockout cap to the damper. So, whether you need to lock your suspension or drop your post, you can do so while keeping both hands firmly on the bars. In addition to the Q-Flip setup that controls both the fork lockout and dropper, there\u2019s also a Q-Flip option to control only the fork lockout. This is great for riders who don\u2019t want to run a dropper post but still want a lever-actuated lockout from the bars.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_978227\" class=\"pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Q Flip\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-978227\" src=\"https:\/\/velo-cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/LN_20251008_XFUSION_GET30_0221-scaled.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover\"><figcaption class=\"pom-caption\"><span class=\"article__caption\">A close-up of the Q-Flip lever.

Its price ($659) is on the accessible end of the spectrum, and the fork is so reliable you won\u2019t need an upgrade anytime soon.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_977591\" class=\"pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Fork\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-977591\" src=\"https:\/\/velo-cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/xfusion_inline_3-scaled.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover\"><figcaption class=\"pom-caption\"><span class=\"article__caption\">The G.E.T. 30 fork is more lightweight and adjustable than ever.<\/span> (Photo: XFUSION)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Plus, it\u2019s made with the thoughtful details that show XFUSION designers had the needs of gravel riders top of mind. Multiple travel options\u201430mm, 40mm, and 50mm\u2014make it easy to adjust comfort and compliance for changing surfaces. The tapered steerer is built for modern gravel frames, and the 30mm anodized aluminum stanchions are optimized for gravel riding. Meanwhile, its lightweight air spring system provides consistent performance, and its clean, minimal design has fewer fail points, which means less time troubleshooting and more time enjoying the ride.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><i>Since 1999, XFUSION Shox has been engineering high-performance suspension forks, rear shocks, and adjustable-height seatposts.
