A real trail machine
RockShox couldn't wait to have this fork on their bikes and deliver it to you. Thanks to the improved DebonAir ™ air suspension and the Charger ™ 2.1 damping, it offers unmatched control and precision even in bumpy corners or slippery drop-ins. SKF super low friction seals and Maxima Plush damping oil work hand in hand to reduce friction and noise and improve durability.
Technologies used
In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses for this product.
DebonAir
It's okay to be soft. DebonAir is not ashamed to give in to the slightest shock. In fact, Monarch and Monarch Plus dampers are softer than ever right from the start. You may see that as a weakness until you hit the track with the DebonAir. There will be a seamless connection between your bike and the terrain, because your DebonAir-equipped shock absorbs every single blow without affecting your body. With such soft strokes you can give even more full throttle.
SAG Gradients
If you don't adjust your damping correctly, you might as well be on someone else's bike. But why waste plastic clips or rulers to keep adjusting the suspension? RockShox` damping markings are printed directly on the stanchions of the suspension fork and the damper housing for easy and precise setup of the perfect suspension. So you can give your mother back the plastic clip and ruler.
Boost ™
BOOST ™ is a new wheel and drive specification that offers an improved frame geometry with shorter chainstays, wider and harder suspension, a greater number of chainring options, more room for wider tires and increased stiffness and robustness of the wheel.
Torque Caps
Torque Caps reinforce the connection between the hub and the fork dropout by increasing the surface area that connects the two. This creates a stronger and stiffer interface that gives you better feedback and more control. So you can concentrate on the most important connection: the one between your bike and the trail.
Bottomless tokens
With the help of bottomless spacers, riders can optimally adapt the air suspension performance of their RockShox suspension fork to their own riding style and preferred suspension. Thanks to the easy-to-install bottomless spacers, the air spring characteristic changes in order to prevent bottoming out after a large impact. Aggressive drivers can thus attack more heavily on a route. Removing the bottomless spacers results in a more linear air spring characteristic, which increases the damping in certain types of terrain or track conditions and ensures that less aggressive riders can use 100 percent of the spring travel.
Maxima Plush Fluid
The best suspension needs the best oil. Developed with the fastest drivers and on the toughest tracks in the world: Maxima Plush is made to reduce wear on the suspension, friction and damper noise and to feel the same at all temperatures.
