What is 'DS' in Suntour XCM Forks?

Posts: 29
The bike I am looking at has Suntour XCM forks that read the code 'SF14-XCM-DS-HLO-27.5-120'.
I understand all of the terms in this except 'SF14' and 'DS'.
Does anyone know what these mean?
Thankyou

Its not Dual Spring as Suntour put it in the name of the Epixon air forks as well!
No idea what it means but it's in the nomenclature of a lot (if not all) of forks from Suntour, frankly I wouldnt worry about it.
maybe its 'dual stanchion' as in not a Lefty!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
SF14 means that it's a 2014 model.0

Thanks everyone for the replies!
Just one more question.
How do you know if a fork has damping?

HLO is hydraulic lock out, so I assume it has a hydraulic damping cartridge.I don't do smileys.

I appreciate that this is an old thread, but I've found the answer to the question and the thread pops up as the first gogle search return when the question is asked about DS.
DS is disc braked. They use P for V brake only, DS for Disc braked when its available. If you search through their issuu online brochure this confirms it.
