RL – For riders looking for a more simple approach to suspension set up.Featuring the adjustments of Motion Control – compression-to-lock with adjustable threshold. RLT – Designed for riders who are looking for more stable ride.The new RCT3 damper features three distinct knob positions – Open (with low speed compression adjust.), Threshold and Lock. RCT3 – Designed for riders looking for more bump gobbling performance.The XX Motion Control DNA damper features RockShox’s XLoc hydraulic remote lockout for the lightest, most ergonomic go-fast solution. XX – Designed for riders looking for more efficiency.If that wasn’t enough, the Dig valve’s shaft is crafted from aluminum rather than the previous Chrome steel offering a 5g weight savings.Īlong with the Dig valve, 4 types of Motion Control DNA will be offered on the SID and Revelation: The Dig valve also builds Rapid Recovery rebound damping into the fork allowing the suspension to recover faster from bigger hits keeping the fork from packing up over continual bumps. This offers a pedal friendly damping rate at lower speeds and a nice, smooth damping curve on bigger hits. Dig is short for digressive tuning which basically means there is lower flow rates at lower speeds, though the rate increases as the speed rises. New Dig vavle on the left, old valve on the rightĪdding Rapid Recovery rebound damping to the forks, the new Dig valve should greatly improve the damping. SID will be offered in 80-120mm travel while the Revelation will come in 120-150mm lengths with both at exceptionally light weights. Like the Pike, the new forks are available in all wheel sizes meaning 26″ isn’t dead just yet. In addition to XLoc, the Monarch XX has a rebound control knob mounted to the shock body.Īfter the reintroduction of RockShox’ Pike as a new AM/Enduro fork, SID and Revelation get upgraded adding the 27.5 size as well. Having the controls for both shocks in one lever immediately results in better utilization of your suspension’s lock outs as you no longer have to take your hands off the bar to use them. If you’ve never ridden a bike with twin lockouts before, it can really change the way you ride the bike as you can be riding full squish and then lock out at the flick of a switch for a quick climb or sprint. The XLoc Full Sprint remote features a compression adjust for the front fork and uses a Connectamajig coupler for bleed-less attaching to the rear shock. When asked if it was retrofittable, we were told that only the new rear shocks will be compatible, but some of the current SID and Revelation forks could be updated with the lock out cartridge. XLoc Sprint will be available on new SID and Relation XX forks and Monarch XX rear shocks. Joining the likes of Scott’s TwinLock only with hydraulic, RockShox now offers the ability to lock out both the front and rear suspension simultaneously with the push of a single button. While the new fork updates are definitely worth mentioning, the new XLoc Sprint is what really is intriguing. At this point, most of the Rockshox XC and trail category has received an update with new damping, and the option for a dual lockout through a single lever. Shortly after introducing the all new Pike and updating the Monarch Plus, RockShox is introducing even more suspension tech to get the most out of your bike.
