RockShox SIDLuxe Ultimate 2P Rear Shock – SoloAir | RLR | Trunnion | Remote Type (Out Pull) | A2 – 165mm

SIDLuxe – Small and mighty.

In modern Cross Country use, the chassis must make the impossible possible: pure efficiency when climbing and a “Bottomless” suspension travel when descending. Impossible? Not for the SIDLuxe from RockShox!

To accomplish this feat, the SIDLuxe comes with two different damping systems, one with 2 positions (2P) and the other with 3 positions (3P) of compression adjustment. Both feature the hard-hitting “Lock” setting as well as the shock-absorbing “Open” function. The 3P configuration also offers the efficient “Pedal”position. Furthermore, the High Speed compression stage has been improved to provide instant Blow-Off when it comes to the most difficult part of the descent.

Technical details of the RockShox SIDLuxe Ultimate 2P rear shock

• E-MTB approved – optimal for use on the E-Bike

For this, the Ultimate version of the super-light SIDLuxe shock is made. The XC damping not only offers 2 positions for compression adjustment, but also represents an optimal complement to the SID and SID SL suspension forks from RockShox, as it is perfectly matched to their handling. While the “Lock”position plays to its strengths in fast starts and sprints, the “Open”setting is designed for the demanding descents of today’s XC tracks.

To keep up with even the pace of an XC World Cup race, the response to unexpected turbulence matters. To allow the High Speed compression damping to open more quickly when sudden shocks occur, RockShox has increased the oil flow in the “Open” and “Pedal” settings. Since a greater oil flow requires a corresponding puncture protection, a higher, tapered bottom-out bumper is used, which provides more fault tolerance at full travel. For an endless feeling and more control in the chaos.
