Air Guides
We print Air Guides on all of our air-sprung forks. Maybe not a technological feat, but it will help you set up your suspension in seconds instead of minutes. And more time on your bike equals more chances to earn King of the Mountain on your favorite trail. Maybe they are a technological feat.
Bottomless Tokens
Bottomless Tokens allow you to easily custom tune your air-spring performance to best match your riding style and suspension preference. Adding the easy-to-install Bottomless Tokens changes the air-spring curve to resist bottom-out after a big hit, giving aggressive riders the power to attack the trail harder. Removing Bottomless Tokens makes the air-spring curve more linear, enhancing suspension feel for certain types of terrain or trail condition and ensuring riders who are less front-end aggressive benefit from 100% of their fork’s travel.
Fast Black
Full disclosure: the color black isn’t scientifically “faster” than other colors. No matter what freaky-deeky words engineers try to attach to a color, it doesn’t make it faster either. But why is it that the hard anodize Fast Black stanchions found on RockShox rear shocks and forks can make you go faster? Since the beginning of time, villains and rogues have been using the color black to up their, “do not mess with me” quotient. Running RockShox Fast Black coating on your suspension stanchions ups your badass status too. And when you feel badass, you ride like one. Not to mention the ultra-durable black finish is extremely slippery – working to keep your tires gripping the trail.
Maxle Lite
Who obsesses over the weight of their wheel axles? It’s ridiculous, right? It’s just a rod of metal bolting the wheels to your bike. But then again, Maxle Lite is a nifty thru axle system that makes your bike both lighter and stiffer. And less weight makes it easier to get your bike to do what you want. Especially when you don’t need to bring tools to remove it, front or rear. And that extra stiffness gives you the precision to hit your lines no matter how burly. So maybe that obsession isn’t so ridiculous after all
Motion Control
Motion Control damping is seamless, effective, and offers a simple low-speed compression adjustment coupled with a blow-off valve.
Power Bulge
When you need your forearms to be stronger for more control, you bulk them up in the gym. When you need more durability from your fork, bulk them up with our Power Bulge. Other companies just increase the stanchion size adding extra weight. Power Bulge simply reinforces the lower leg to allow for an oversized bushing, increasing stiffness and maximizing your ride. Plus, it’s called Power Bulge.
Rapid Recovery System
Who doesn’t want more available wheel travel for successive hits? The Rapid Recovery System allows your suspension to recovery faster between consecutive bumps, letting the wheel track the ground with greater precision. This more active suspension system, doesn’t pack up and enables the bike to ride in a higher and softer part of the spring rate. Rapid Recovery gives the rider access to more available wheel travel, bump after bump, to achieve a smoother and more controlled ride.
Sag Gradients
Measurement gradients indicating the current sag and travel settings are conveniently located on the upper tubes so that you always know how much travel you are running. You won’t find this anywhere else but RockShox.
Solo Air
Solo Air gives you a plush, predictable ride you can set up in seconds.
OneLoc
The new OneLoc remote provides total control over your suspension at your fingertips. It can be configured to control a fork, rear shock or both fork and shock simultaneously, without the need for a clumsy cable splitter. This, and the increased leverage at the bar, translate in a smoother and easier actuation. Its countless mounting options (left and right, below or above the bar, tall or standard clamp) make it an ideal companion for SRAM's drivetrain, brakes and RockShox's Reverb remote.
Maxle Stealth
How do you make a thru-axle disappear? With RockShox's Maxle Stealth. This new, tooled Maxle option installs and removes easily with a 6mm Allen wrench. Maxle Stealth features a narrow and stealthy profile and weight savings of over 30g over a standard Maxle Lite.
Torque Caps
Torque Caps make the bond between hub and fork dropout stronger, with an increased surface area connecting the two. This creates a stronger, stiffer interface, giving you a more responsive front wheel and more control. So you concentrate on the most important connection, the one between your bike and the trail.
