ROCKSHOX SERVICE MANUAL SID RL 29 2012 FULL
It works by opening ports in the central shaft, moving air from the main chamber into the negative air chamber and dropping the fork about 30mm.Ģ9er Suspension Fork Travel Options – If you’ve been to an endurance race lately, you’ll notice that the growing majority of riders are on 29ers, and whether they’re hardtail or full suspension, most have a suspension fork on the front. The Dual Position Air remains unchanged and comes on various models of the Revelation, Lyrik and Totem. When the trails turn downward, simply flip the lever to open and it releases the spring, making both of them active and restoring full travel. Designed to improve climbing on longer travel bikes, the new system essentially traps the upper coil spring and reduces travel by about 30mm. RL – Same as RLT but with a factory-set threshold setting.įor a technical look at what Motion Control does, check out our Tech Article from a visit to Rockshox’s CO HQ.ĭual Position Coil – The 2012 Sektor fork will get a new Dual Position Coil height adjustable travel option.RLT – their standard compression control that lets you set it from fully open to fully closed or anywhere in between, with adjustable threshold via Floodgate.This is their new “best” option with the most user control over settings. RCT3 – a new format that has three distinct positions: open, threshold and locked, with separate external low-speed compression damping control.XX – Uses the XLoc hydraulic lockout and does away with external compression settings to save weight.For 2012, the new DNA version will only be on the SID and Revelation forks in XX, RCT3, RLT and RL trim, all with Dual Flow Rebound control: On bigger hits, it opens the compression ports to let the fork break into full travel so you can stay in control, then returns it to lockout when the action subsides. In a nutshell, Motion Control allows the fork to move a bit even when locked out so you’re bouncing around. MOTION CONTROL DNA – Building on their current Motion Control platform, the new MC DNA uses a new, lighter “double helix” shaped spring mechanism to offer more supple performance.
