RockShox SID World Cup Forks. These top level MTB forks are optimised for race winning performance as they deliver precision, performance and speed from a lightweight chassis. They feature an incredibly tough aluminium and magnesium tube construction which makes them ideal for withstanding all the hard hits that come with off road racing. To top it off, RockShox has used a lightweight carbon crown and steerer construction to give you the ultimate balance of strength and weight. Charger 2 Damper. Keeping you focused on the podium, these brilliant forks are kitted out with a Charger 2 damping with Rapid Recovery rebound. This means you'll benefit from adjustable low speed compression and a separated lockout for controlling exactly how you want it to perform as you race for victory DebonAir Suspension. As each element of this SID's design is focused on winning, it takes your performance up a notch further by using a DebonAir spring. This fantastic component makes shocks plusher than ever by making the connection between your bike and the terrain as seamless as possible. As a result, you'll be able to race for gold or simply bragging rights as this version absorbs every little hit without any harsh feeling on your body Features Upper Tube Material Aluminium Lower Tube Material Magnesium Crown Material Carbon Steerer Material Carbon Use MTB, XC Steerer 1 18 1 5" tapered Travel 100mm Spring Type DebonAir Damper Type Charger 2 Disc Brake Mount Post mount Maximum Rotor Size 220mm Adjustment Rebound, lockout, low speed compression adjustment, spring rate via air pressure Offset 42mm Maxle Included Maxle Stealth thru axleTechnologies Dig Valve Dig Valve sounds the system which works in the oil circuit of the SID. It provides the optimal level of control for both low and high speed compression, carefully controlling the oil flow to provide the rider with the right amount of support and impact absorption. The piston redesign allows the use of Rapid Recovery, a rebound tune that allows the shock to recover faster between consecutive bumps, for greater traction and a more controlled ride. The Dig Valve is factory tuned and supports the SID at mid strokes. Charger 2 Damping The improved extruded bladder design resists damping changes during extended downhills and has virtually zero pressure offset for small bump sensitivity. This means no sacrifices in bump performance for shredding downhill while keeping the ability to maintain pedaling stability for those leg burning climbs. Rapid Recovery In combination with the Rapid Recovery system the damping increases control while you need less energy at the same time. Rapid Recovery allows the shock to recover faster between consecutive bumps, letting the wheel track the ground with greater precision. This more active suspension system 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. Debon Air Suspension It is ok to be soft. Debon Air is not ashamed to give way under the weakest push. In fact, it makes shocks plusher than ever, right from the start. It might seem a weakness, until you take DebonAir to the trail. The connection between your bike and the terrain will be seamless, as your DebonAir equipped shock absorbs every little hit without any harsh feeling on your body. A shock so soft, you can push way harder. Power Bulge Instead of increasing the stanchion size and adding extra weight, the Power Bulge simply reinforces the lower leg to allow for an oversized bushing for more stiffness and driving comfort. Sag Gradients Don't set your sag correctly and you might as well be hopping onto someone else's bike. For an easy and accurate suspension setup the sag gradients are printed right on the fork's upper tubes and shock damper bodies. So there is no need for another measuring tool. Bottomless Tokens optional The use of the optional available Bottomless Tokens allows riders to easily custom tune their RockShox fork's air spring performance to best match their own riding style and suspension preference. Adding the easy to install 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 percent of their fork's travel. Torque Caps optional The optional available 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. Buy RockShox Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
