Rockshox rs1 inverted forks

[Kai Baird]

Hey guys. What are the rs1 forks like? Specifically 27.5,but on 9ers too. Were they troublesome? Or are they decent? Had 100 mm travel and remote lockout etc.

 

Shot guys.

Very smooth very well damped and controlled fork.

Travel adjustable from 80mm to 130mm for the 27.5 version by changing the air spring unit.

Air volume adjusters allow adjustment to the spring curve to allow more small bump sensitivity and bottom out control.

I rode one for two years and loved it. It didn't require as much maintenance as the fox I had before it and service intervals were similar at 50 hrs for air spring seals and 120 to 150hrs.

Very easy fork to live with.

not as torsionally stiff as a Lefty or Fox 34 SC but about the same as a fox 32 sc and rockshox sid.

still have the fork and looking for a suitable frame. Likely to be a pivot mach4 or LES 27.5

Very smooth, but over 100mm travel they are noodles. Need the proprietary front hub too, which is a hassle.
