RockShox Metric Coil, Springs 65mm, Length 151mm

Product Information

The ZEB is available in 650b and 29-inch wheel sizes with 160-, 170-, 180-, and 190mm travel options. You also get the choice of 38mm and 44mm offsets. At just over halfway open, the ramp up is less sudden with a more gradual rate of progression. I found this setting the most comfortable, and it meant I was still able to use all the bike’s travel regularly without harsh bottom outs. Another bit of tech found on Fox's recent forks is the Pressure Release Valves found just underneath the fork's seals. These are designed to release unwanted pressure in the fork lowers that are caused by variations in altitude or temperature. Simply give them a push and your fork will return to normal, restoring its performance. Hub End Cap Adapters 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].

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.Much like the ZEB, it also boasts ButterCup technology, Pressure Relief Valves, premium SKF seals and Maxima Plush damper fluid, as well as a machined and anodised crown.

The Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out offers a convenient dial with five different compression settings to customize the cushioning you experience in the last 20% of travel when facing potential bottom out. The ZEB Select+ shares many features with the flagship ZEB, including the DebonAir+ air spring, Charger 3 RC2 damper and Pressure Relief Valves, but it misses out on the vibration-damping ButterCups and machined crown. There are 150-, 160-, 170-, and 180mm travel options for both 27.5- and 29-inch wheels and the Debonair air spring system is used in the forks. The top-of-the-range Lyrik Ultimate gets all the bells and whistles. It’s equipped with a DebonAir+ air spring and Charger 3 RC2 damper, making it a popular choice for some of the best trail bikes. The Recon is designed as a cost-effective, high-value cross-country fork built with 32mm stanchions. With travel from 80mm up to 150mm. It also fits up to 2.8in tyres without fenders.

Does the 2023 RockShox Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate live up to RockShox’s cross-talk claims?

The ZEB Select is specced with a DebonAir+ air spring and the more basic Charger RC damper. The rest of the technology is carried over from the Select+ model, apart from the Pressure Relief Valves, which can be retrofitted if desired. The granting of a best price is not combinable with other promotions (e.g. "free articles) from Bike-Discount. This material features a very high tensile strength and modulus that coupled with a very dedicate design and specific production processes allows the new generation of Superlight springs to weigh up to 30% less compared to the previous Superlight and other “normal” steel springs (weigh reduction percentage depends on spring stiffness and travel values).

stanchions (steel stanchions on TK 15X100 [A2] and TK [B1] and Silver TK [C1] and Silver TK [D1] and Silver RL [D1] and RL 15X100 [A2] and RL [B1], aluminium stanchions on Gold RL [A5] and Gold RL [C1]). The SID Select+ shares the same DebonAir+ air spring as the SID Ultimate and gets the same Charger Race Day 2 damper but without the same machining. Other than that, it shares its seals and damper fluid with the flagship model. These, new for 2023, add an additional 5% of torsional stiffness but are removable if you're not interested. Flight Attendant 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.

Then, there's the Pike Select+ that runs most of what the Ultimate gets but it drops the lightweight crown and Buttercups tech. This one looks to be OEM only and isn't available aftermarket. The Pike comes in 120mm, 130mm, 140mm, 150mm and 160mm travel options in both 27.5- and 29-inch wheel sizes, with clearance for up to 2.8in tyres as standard.

Red hot “BoXXer Red” Signature Coil colourway and Signature Colour matching decal options available. 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.The new Superlight V2 Springs are developed using exotic materials mainly used in motorsports applications.
