During our winter riding of the XMM fork we encountered a poor suspension performance at extremely low temperatures with the XMM fork, so they have worked to resolve this by new upper wiper seals and introducing a special oil (called PANOLIN) for lubrication and damping duties. Since the oil is said to improve the overall feel of the fork – we have asked DT-SWISS to do those modifications on our test fork (along with swapping from the remote lock-out lever to the fork mounted one) – but we will report on that in the next update of our fork review.
Some may remember that during our visit to the DT-SWISS headquarters for the 2013 product launch (here ) we had done two modifications to the fork. One was to exchange the remote lockout lever for a fork mounted one – a thing that can be done without touching the damping circuits of the fork. The other has been to swap the standard lubrication oil for the all new Panolin Specialty Oil, which is said to improve small bump sensitivity and not be prone to low viscosity when ridden in extremely low temperatures – a thing I noted in my first impressions (here) where the fork has been ridden at below 5°F (-15°C).
Switching the oil over to Panolin definitely caused the fork to perform differently – it got a good amount more active and sensitive, but also big hit performance got enhanced in my opinion – only on steps or small drops would the fork sink into its travel more than before (a thing helped by going for a slightly higher compression damping on such sections). The only side effect of the modification has been that rebound also felt faster, but that was easily taken care of by adding just a few clicks if rebound damping (before I had run the fork´s rebound completely open). Once done I liked the suspension action even better than before – which already has been really good.
