Although initially it felt a bit firm, the coil spring proved perfectly balanced for swallowing four-foot pancake landings without drama, while still maintaining small bump traction.
There's plenty of controlled and consistent rebound adjustment and a solid fork top lockout too, with metal adjusters all round giving quality feel.
Stainless steel hardware extends lifespan, and the reliability is excellent. In fact, only the limited 85mm and 100mm travel options restrict the Odur's obvious All-Mountain potential.
WMB verdict:
Cross Country: 6/10
All Mountain : 7/10
Use: 9/10
Value: 8/10
The Odur is a stiff, tough and impressively controlled fork. Overall: 8/10
The MAGURA Odur coil-sprung fork feels firm and imperturbable. Its dual-arch design means it tracks solidly, and it feels as if you can fit and forget it. You can adjust the rebound and limit the travel with a dynamic lockout; other adjustments require you to faff about with spacers and different springs.
