With the new SIDLuxe damper, the guys from Colorado Springs want to appeal primarily to XC and marathon riders.
The interior of the damper is based on the current deluxe models, but is much lighter and is adapted to the special requirements of XC drivers.
The newly adapted air chamber sizes ensure a buttery smooth response and an end progression that reliably prevents punctures.

Solo Air:
The negative and positive air chambers are only filled by means of a valve at the same time, which significantly simplifies the setting of your personal set-up.

Counter Measure:
Thanks to the Counter Measure technology, the breakaway torque of your damper is practically reduced to zero.
This means that even small blows are swallowed and you always have perfect grip.

SAG Gradients:
If you don't adjust your suspension elements correctly, you might as well be on someone else's bike.
At RockShox, the markings for the exact setting of your suspension components are printed directly on them, saving you a lot of time when setting up.

Maxima Plush Damping Fluid:
The best suspension needs the best oil.
Maxima Plush has been developed to reduce wear on the spring elements, friction and all noise.

RL damper:
The RL damper allows you to adapt the rebound stage to your needs.
It also has a lockout which can be operated in two positions (open / lock) directly on the damper.

RockShox was founded by Paul Turner and Steve Simons in North Carolina (USA) in 1989.
It moved to California a few years later. Turner, who rode motorcycles in his teens, founded a company that sold motorcycle parts at the age of 18.
He would go on to work for the Honda Motor Company as the factory motocross team's mechanic, which put him in touch with suspension designers and other motocross industry leaders.

Former professional motocross rider and entrepreneur Simons designed a shock absorber for Fox Racing Shox and then went on to found his own company Simons Inc. to develop suspension forks.
He obtained two patents on suspension forks, one of which he licensed to the major motorcycle and suspension companies.

In 1989 Turner approached Simons to develop a suspension fork for mountain bikes.
In 1987, Turner had presented a full bike with front and rear suspension at the bicycle industry trade show in Long Beach, with the help of Keith Bontrager.
The industry was not impressed.
Two years later Turner and his wife Christi were producing suspension forks in their garage using parts they bought from Simons.
Turner soon became partner in Simons Inc.

Simons became CEO at RockShox. Turner brought in Greg Herbold as a test rider and company spokesman.
Herbold became the first world champion in downhill mountain biking on one of the first suspension forks made for mountain bikes.
In August 1990 the company produced its first 100 suspension forks, the RS-1.
The start-up was financed by the East Asian bicycle parts manufacturer Dia Compe, the founders, and other investors.
Dia Compe manufactured the next series of forks but later withdrew from manufacturing and disposed of its shares.

From then on, forks were primarily manufactured at RockShox.
