Fresh goods from RockShox

Today RockShox sent through details on the new shock that’s been popping up on the World Series.

The new Deluxe is an inline shock, utilizing a bigger air can instead of the piggyback layout. With this new model, RockShox is saying they are able to save weight whilst offering a wider range of tuning options, bottom-out control and overall performance. Naturally, this slimmed down design also offers bike manufacturers more real estate to incorporate things like space for bigger water bottles, fully enclosed shocks, motors and batteries.

In terms of adjustment, the range-topping Deluxe Ultimate features Low Speed Compression, Low Speed Rebound and a lockout lever. RockShox says the beauty of the new DebonAir+ Linear XL air can, is fewer external adjusters are needed to achieve your desired feel.
