News bot Posted March 17, 2020 Share RockShox today announced two all-new SID SL and SID cross-country forks and a race-focused SIDLuxe shock. There is a somewhat revived model naming convention to differentiate the two new chassis. The SID SL model features a lightweight chassis with 100mm travel and 32mm upper tube measurements and a claimed weight of 1326g. The SID model promises to be more capable on the trails with longer 120mm travel and stiffer 35mm upper tubes. The bigger chassis does weigh a couple hundred grams more at 1537g. Discover all the technical details about the new SIDs and SIDLuxe shock in the press release below.Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrightJnr Posted March 17, 2020 Share Queue every single Rockshox sponsored athlete telling the world how this is..........wait for it....”the BEST fork they have EVER ridden” I’m sure it’s fantastic but the scripted corporate drivel ruins new products for me. nonky, Headshot and M L 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo Posted March 17, 2020 Share This was obviously supposed to be launched at the Epic. Seems like the Scott boys have been riding around with them in plain sight all along. Edited March 17, 2020 by hansolo DieselnDust and nonky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they all say that about the RS-1, while at the same time complain about weight and stiffness (or lack thereof) and requiring a special hub? I do believe this may be the best from RS for it's intended purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJacques Posted March 18, 2020 Share Nice. Most of the older SIDs were way too flexy. I wonder if the Reba will get the same treatment. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted March 18, 2020 Share Nice. Most of the older SIDs were way too flexy. I wonder if the Reba will get the same treatment SiD usually brings in the new manufacturing and chassis tech which then cascades across the range. So I guess the ReBA is next. Funny thing is S.I.D is an Acronym for Superlight Intergrated Design so now the SuperLight Integrated Design SuperLight is the superlight option . I'l still take one though especiallynow that it has an Alloy crown and steerer. I gues in two years time they will re-introduce the carbon crown and steerer with graphene to make the SID SL SLC Ultimate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
