Re: Ricor Intiminators, Slugs and Mitas E10 & E09 Dakar Tyre
What language you speak? I put this into Google Translate; Ricor apparently is Italian for 'applicator', slugs are of course garden slimy things, I understand 'Dakar' and 'tyres' but this is the nearest that comes up for Intiminators from a '60's Manga comic - "The series is about the Intimidators and Astroman. A silver age battle in Cold War Cuba knocks Astroman, a goody-two-shoes sixties superhero, forty-three years into the future where he decides to try and turn the Intimidators into a group of heroes. Prior to Astroman's arrival, the Intimidators were America's Domestic Strike Unit, but were seldom sent into action because of their callous attitude and bloody disregard for human life. Aside from Astroman the team features Crash, Byrn, Limit, Fetish and Firepower."

Intiminators are little valves that sit in the fork leg below the springs. When you hit a bump the valve opens and lets fork oil through and the forks compress to absorb the bump.
When you brake there is no reaction inertia like when you hit a bump so the valves stay shut. That means reduced dive when braking.
Because of the anti dive capability you can use lower viscosity fork oil, resulting in better fork performance.
