RockShox announces new Rudy XL gravel fork
Gravel gets more travel..
The brand’s current gravel fork, the Rudy XPLR is available in two models and two travel options of 30 or 40mm. With this new Rudy XL gravel fork launched today, RockShox is now offering riders a 50 or 60mm travel option and tyre clearance of up to 2.25″ – whilst keeping stanchion diameter unchanged at 30mm.
RockShox says Rudy XL has been in development for two years and they are making a pretty big deal about the tune of the Charger Race Day 2 Damper. We are told it’s tuned to stay firm on fast sections and composed when the terrain becomes unpredictable.
The Rudy XL Ultimate is available in the Electric Red colourway, has a rock solid lockout, a 45mm offset, 50 or 60mm travel with the brand’s Solo Air Spring and Charger Race Day 2 Damper.
The Rudy XL has the same tyre clearance, travel options and fender capability as the Ultimate model and is equipped with the Solo Air Spring and a rebound-only damper unit. With a little more travel, the Rudy XL is naturally aimed at riders who are seeking more control, more comfort and enhanced capability for dropbar experiences. //
