DT Swiss F 132 ONE Fork available for the first time in America aboard Obed and Litespeed gravel models

Chattanooga, TN (March 26, 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Obed and Litespeed are the first OEMs to make the DT Swiss F 132 ONE gravel fork available in North America. Riders will be able to add the F 132 ONE fork to any gravel model using Obed and Litespeed’s custom bike configurators.

The needs and desires of real riders have driven the evolution of Obed and Litespeed gravel bikes, leading to new bikes designed for the gravel vanguard. Suspension is now gravel’s most exciting frontier. Obed and Litespeed were among the first to build gravel bikes with suspension corrected geometry designed around modern gravel suspension forks and to provide suspension fork options through their custom bike configurators.

“We’ve enjoyed a strong and collaborative partnership with Obed and Litespeed, and we share the goal of offering the best possible equipment for every kind of gravel rider,” said Brandon Wold, DT Swiss Sales & Marketing Manager, Americas. “We’re excited to add a new choice for Obed and Litespeed riders: the F 132 ONE gravel fork. This marks the first time riders in North America can experience this suspension solution as part of a complete bike. Whether your focus is adventure, racing, or the lines in between, we’re confident that together we’ve created performance-driven options that help riders go further and ride the way they want.”

“DT Swiss has been a key partner for high-quality and high-performance components, and it was clear to us that the innovative F 132 ONE gravel fork would be a perfect fit for Obed and Litespeed gravel bikes,” explained Chris Pascarella, President & CEO of American Bicycle Group. “Giving riders the power to build their dream bike exactly how they want it has always been our mission at Obed and Litespeed. Now, our riders have more options than ever to customize and maximize their riding experience.”

The DT Swiss F 132 ONE is developed specifically for gravel riding and provides 40 mm of travel using a LINEAIR spring cartridge, and adjustable rebound damping with a PLAINGAIN damping cartridge that is designed to be as light as possible. An ergonomic PUSHCONTROL remote lever switches between closed and open modes, allowing riders to instantly react to terrain changes and maximize efficiency. Bikepacking adapters increase carrying capacity, allowing riders to mount 3 kg to each fork leg and extend their gravel adventures. This makes the F 132 ONE fork ideal for both the high speeds of gravel racing and the uncertainties of gravel adventure.

Rollover testing at the DT Swiss Performance Test Center found that the F 132 ONE gravel suspension fork significantly reduces the forces experienced during an impact. It provided up to a 63% reduction in impact forces compared to a rigid fork at real-world speeds (15-25 KM/h), and it was more effective at reducing peak forces than increasing tire volume.

The combination of versatile features and excellent roll-over performance, plus long service intervals and the ability to accommodate internal cable routing make the F 132 ONE fork an ideal upgrade for any Obed and Litespeed gravel bike. The F 132 ONE fork will be available April 26, 2026, for riders worldwide and can be purchased on complete bikes directly from obedbikes.com and litespeed.com.
