RockShox Unisex Adult Judy Silver TK Suspension Fork, One Size

Product Information

Boost is the standard wheel and drivetrain specification that opens the opportunity for improved frame geometry with shorter chain stays, wider and stiffer suspension pivots, wider range of chainring options, as well as more clearance for bigger Tyres and wider, stiffer wheels. Features

Pike and Yari - The Pike and Yari fork series offer long travel – 140 to 160 mm – and are designed for a wide range of trail riding. Pike forks are somewhat lighter and more expensive than Yari forks, but both offer excellent adjustability so you can tailor them to any full suspension mountain bike. The Pike Select gets a more basic Charger RC damper, with easy-to-adjust low-speed compression and rebound. Apart from the Pressure Relief Valves, which can be retrofitted, the Pike Select shares the same DebonAir+ air spring, seals and damper fluid as the rest of the Pike line-up. Coil spring on TK 15X100 [A2] and TK [B1] and Silver TK [D1], air spring on Silver TK [C1] and Silver TK [D1] and Silver RL [D1] and RL 15X100 [A2] and RL [B1] and Gold RL [A5], DebonAir air spring on Gold RL [C1].

Finally, the SID SL looks like another OEM fork, but this one gets a Rush XC damper with a DebonAir air spring. This fork gets the same seals and fluid as the rest of the range.

The SID SL is the all-out cross-country racing fork in the lineup and in 2023, it got a range of updates. The 30 series is a budget-friendly suspension fork with between 80 and 120 mm of travel. These forks use steel stanchions and coil springs, which makes them a bit heavy. Torque Caps make the bond between hub and fork dropout stronger, with an increased surface area connecting the two. This creates a stronger, stiffer interface, giving you a more responsive front wheel and more control. So you concentrate on the most important connection, the one between your bike and the trail. Turnkey Another important feature of the fork is the damper system. The handling and ride comfort might vary based on the damper used.There is also a new piston wear band inside the damper, which is said to better manage oil flow, while a new rod seal from SKF is claimed to reduce friction by upwards of 30% at the rebound shaft. Please note, this fork has a straight 1 1/8" steerer tube and 9mm QR dropouts nottapered and bolt through as pictured.

This air spring allows you to externally adjust the travel by up to 30mm, depending on the fork. Motion Control Though what's important to note is the Ultimate's damper has been machined to shed weight, whereas the Select's damper hasn't.

Fitting

Then there's the SID SL Select+, an OEM fork that gets a DebonAir air spring, a Race Day 2 damper and SKF wiper seals. There's also Maxima Plush damping fluid, and just like the range-topping fork, it's available with 100mm or 110mm of travel and for 29-inch wheels. Boost is the name given for the latest wheel axle spacing. Boost forks use a 110mm width hub, whereas older forks and wheels use a standard 100mm width. While it may not sound much, getting the wrong one will be make or break when it comes to installation compatibility. A suspension fork is a ride-changing component when you’re out on the trails, taking the edge off the roughness of the terrain, giving you a smoother, more comfortable and controlled ride. Winner: The Judy Gold model wins this section for its motion control damper. Not only does it allow rebound damping but also compression damping too. Adjustment Type: However, there are some factors to consider while choosing one. This will make things easier for you.

Designed specifically for use on dirt jump and slopestyle bikes, the Pike DJ features a custom-tuned Charger damper and Solo Air air spring designed to offer maximum progression for harsh landings and heavy compressions. Going for Gold also means a full alloy upper to keep weight significantly lower than most affordable forks, making the 35 the benchmark to beat for cost-effective control. How to choose the best budget mountain bike forks How much do suspension forks cost? Probably one of the most underrated forks around, Manitou’s Mattoc has been around for a long time but it’s still worth looking for, especially as online pricing is often much better than official RRPs. The Pike Select+ is treated to almost all the same technology as the Pike Ultimate, but misses out on the ButterCups and the machined crown. The Judy gold shines here too. It has an exceptionally light weight of 1814 grams. This is less than the 2258-2685 gm weight of the silver model.

Commonly made up of a spring and a damper which work together to create a smooth rider experience, a metal coil spring can be found on lower-end versions or the occasional gravity-focused fork. We’re going to cover all the 34mm legged forks from X-Fusion here as they all share very similar architecture and features, just for different wheel sizes. Slant is the 26in 100-160mm travel fork, Sweep the 27.5in with the same travel option, and Slide the 29er which stretches from 100-140mm travel. There was a Trace 34mm fork which you might find too, which was a precursor to the Slide but with a fancier unicrown construction, but the latest Trace forks use 36mm legs. The air presure required in your fork will vary depending on the model of fork, and the style of your bike. For DebonAir, SoloAir, and Dual Postion Air, you will determine require pressure based on the percent sag, the amount of full travel that the suspension compresses when the ride is on the bicycle in a normal riding position.
