Description
Slavens Mule MX-Tech Raven Cartridge System
The Slavens Mule MX-Tech Raven Closed Cartridge System brings the latest in fork development combined with Slavens developed and tested off-road tuning specifications. The system includes shim tunable spring seats, low friction internal components, compound leaf spring mid-valve, and the desirable MX-Tech Huck Valve. The Huck Valve offers tunable hydraulic resistance at the end of the stroke, this hardware has been exclusively designed and in use by Jeremy for over a decade.
MX-Tech Suspension uses Blud suspension fluid because it has the best performance ratings based on our independent testing among the top brands. This fully synthetic oil minimizes foaming, reduces friction and eliminates wear.
SKF dual compound fork seals come standard! This new design has two rubber compounds, new geometry for both the scraper lip as well as the sealing lip. Molded together these compounds improve sealing lip properties and reduce friction.
Jeremy at MX-Tech has invested his career in suspension work to finally bring the Raven Cartridge System to market: the standard has been set. Jeremy’s proven technology combined with Jeff’s off-road development and testing provide an off-road suspension platform above and beyond anything else on the market.

INSTALLATION:
Because Raven cartridges are complicated to install and require over $500 in special tools, we require that all MX-Tech Raven Cartridges be installed by a Slavens Racing authorized and trained suspension center: we will not ship a set of Raven Cartridges directly to you. Instead, we will send you a prepaid shipping label to ship your forks to a Slavens Racing authorized suspension center (see Shipping Forks tab above for recommendations on packaging). Once the suspension center receives your forks, they will install the Raven Cartridges and springs that have been valved with Jeff’s proprietary “Slavens Mule” valving specs for off-road/enduro/hard enduro/trail riding to include rocks, roots, logs, whoops and all the other gnarly stuff. They will also perform a complete service of your forks (seals, bushings, and fluid) while installing the cartridges – to ensure the quality of the install this service is mandatory even on new forks. Then they will ship your forks with the installed cartridges back to you. Shipping, labor, and all parts are included in the price. Please expect a 2 week turn around to allow for shipping, installation, and return shipping. If you prefer a kit that you can easily install yourself, please consider our Lucky Kit.
