RockShox introduce Super Deluxe Coil shocks for bikes that pedal
Super Deluxe allowed us to ditch old design constraints, and simply focus on building the best possible rear shock. And with that old thinking no longer holding us back, we began to wonder why coil-shock performance had to be limited to purely downhill and enduro applications and why there should be any pedaling compromise associated […]
Review: RockShox Reverb
It’s hard to imagine that not too long ago dropper posts where an oddity found only on custom builds and made by only a handful of manufacturers.

Review: RockShox Pike
Calling something a game-changer is most often just marketing talk, but when RockShox released the new Pike in 2013 it did just that – it changed the game. Along came a fork that seemingly offered it all at a time when Enduro racing was booming. A tapered (1.125″ to 1.5″) head tube and 15 mm […]

What makes French mountain bikers so fast? Is it the air? The mountains? The cuisine? Is it the fact that there are about 1,000 varieties of French cheese? Their ability to invade neighbouring countries to shred awesome trails?

Review: RockShox Revelation RCT3
Updated for 2014 with a Solo Air air spring (only one adjustable air chamber), the 2015 is unchanged and is available in every wheel size and travel options to please most trail riders. The addition of a Solo Air spring saves a few grams over the previous dual air spring and does away with the […]
