RockShox Metric Coil, Springs 65mm, Length 151mm

Product Information

To fit them, you need to take all the air out of the spring and then remove the top cap using the correctly sized spanner or splined cassette tool. You can put multiple tokens into a fork as they thread together and attach to the top cap. Different colour tokens fit different fork models. This air spring allows you to externally adjust the travel by up to 30mm, depending on the fork. Motion Control

There is also a new piston wear band inside the damper, which is said to better manage oil flow, while a new rod seal from SKF is claimed to reduce friction by upwards of 30% at the rebound shaft.

SID SL is an out-and-out race fork that gets 32mm stanchions, 100mm to 110mm of travel, a 44mm offset, comes for 29ers only. This fork uses the latest Race Day 2 damper.

Rounding up the Pike range is the Pike base which comes with a Rush RC damper, DebonAir+ air spring and everything that we get on the Select model, including the opportunity to upgrade the fork to use Pressure Relief Valves. Like the Select+, this one looks like it's OEM only. The ZEB Select+ shares many features with the flagship ZEB, including the DebonAir+ air spring, Charger 3 RC2 damper and Pressure Relief Valves, but it misses out on the vibration-damping ButterCups and machined crown. EXT Springs are developed for a long time use, thanks to improved mechanical characteristics and its material directly derived from motorsport. It is available in RC2 and RCT3 versions, with the same differences in adjustment as the regular Charger range. Buttercups The Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out offers a convenient dial with five different compression settings to customize the cushioning you experience in the last 20% of travel when facing potential bottom out.

Jargon Buster

This is a term for volume spacers that can be added to the fork's air spring to adjust how much progression there is - how much harder it becomes to move the fork as it goes deeper into the travel. Adding more makes the fork harder to bottom out under hard riding; having fewer means of achieving full travel for a given starting pressure is easier. Fixed rebound on TK 15X100 [A2] and TK [B1], adjustable rebound on Silver TK [C1] and Silver TK [D1], adjustable rebound and low speed compression on Silver RL [D1] and RL 15X100 [A2] and RL [B1] and Gold RL [A5] and Gold RL [C1]. Firstly, I believe I could have gone down a spring rate and started to rely on the compression damping to give me the support I was after.

This is an updated version of the Charger 2 damper seen on 'Ultimate' forks with some changes to the valving, such as less high-speed compression damping and more low-speed compression damping to make the fork sit up high in its travel. These, new for 2023, add an additional 5% of torsional stiffness but are removable if you're not interested. Flight AttendantFor 2023, there is also a burlier 35mm stanchioned model available that offers from 110mm, to 120mm of travel. This chunkier fork benefits from increased bushing overlap and bolt-in torque cap adapters. This fork is claimed to tip the scale at 1,476g.
