The RockShox SID (Superlight Integrated Design) is the complete race XC fork with all the stiffness you need at the weight you want. Rock Shox SID XX Solo Air XLoc 29" 100mm Fork is the ultimate XC race fork. Not only does the one-piece carbon steer tube/crown eliminate close to 100 grams, but with enhanced stiffness, a remote lock-out and plush travel.
At the front of an XC race, there's hardly time to think, let alone take your hands off the bars. That's why the SID XX World Cup comes equipped with an XLOC remote lock-out switch. Hydraulically activated for smooth and effortless engagement, the XLOC remote increases your efficiency by allowing a lock-out for the smooth sections, and negating the need to reach down to your fork to activate it.
The SID's casing and you'll see that the goal of this fork is to make your ride experience as enjoyable as possible. Several features gang up to beat fork flex into submission. A tapered (1.5" to 1.125") carbon head tube and 15 mm through axle are standard fare, but Rock Shox's Power Bulge lowers go the extra distance to fight flex. Set-up is easy, thanks to guides and clues on the fork. An air pressure chart gives starting PSI measurements, and travel/sag indicators on the stanchions make fine-tuning simple. Fast and slow rebound directions are painted onto the fork so you'll never forget which way to turn. Rapid Recovery rebound tends to require a slower feel than usual.
A seal kit, headset expansion nut for carbon steer tubes, and an Xloc Remote bleed kit are included with the Rock Shox SID RCT3 Solo Air 29".
In 2014 Rock Shox 2014 sees the return of its Solo Air spring, with only one adjustable air chamber to fuss with. This saves a few grams and gets rid of the hassle of adjusting two separate air chambers on either end of the fork stanchion, which is what the previous Dual Air design required. Now you get a smoother, stiction-free ride with minimal set up time. BlackBox Motion Control uses Dual Flow damping to keep fast and slow-speed rebound separate for tunable and perfect response no matter the impact size. Rapid Recovery rebound damping, first introduced on the Monarch shock, helps increase the forks ability to track the terrain by riding higher in it's travel. By speeding up the end of the rebound stroke, Rapid Recovery allows the wheel to extend faster in preparation for the next hit. A slower beginning rebound stroke keeps the fork from "bucking" as it returns to full extension. Low speed rebound damping is adjustable with the bottom-mounted red knob, while high speed is pre-set.
