Our forks are available in both conventional and inverted designs, with chromed fork tubes ranging from 39mm to 43mm in diameter. All of our front forks are equipped with progressive hydraulic bump stops.
We place a strong emphasis on achieving high concentricity, minimizing friction, and ensuring smooth operation in all of our fork designs.

R16V, initially OLLÉ AMORTIDORS, was founded in 1995 in a garage in a little town next to Barcelona called Collbató as a company dedicated to the repair, modification and preparation of all types of rear suspensions. Since his days of a professional Trial rider, Pere Ollé, the founder, has been involved with the competition world hence why most of his clients from that time came from that world, both professionals and amateurs.
It was not long until manufacturers of small series of all types of motor vehicles proposed to mount an OLLÉ brand shock absorber. It is from this moment that OLLÉ AMORTIDORS focused on the production of rear shock absorbers with its own identity mark. Productive growth implied a technological and logistical need that ended up in the transfer to Igualada in 2002 and the rebirth of R16V.
2012 marked a landmark in the history of the brand, in this year we started manufacturing front suspensions, commonly referred to as forks. To fill a void in the market, we started what turned out to be a very challenging, but equally rewarding process that has taken us to the point where we are today; a company capable to fulfil any suspension needs.
AT R16V, QUALITY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY.
In an industry where it’s easy to be distracted by superficial trends, we remain grounded in the belief that quality should define our brand.
We focus on delivering the best products and services that we can achieve, ensuring that quality is at the core of everything we do.
Specializing in personalized products, we collaborate closely with our clients to meet the highest standards of quality.
We are proud to be ISO 9001:2015 certified, and we are committed to continuously improving our processes to achieve the best possible
outcomes for our clients and customers.
