RockShox Announces Forks For Wider Hubs

Premium forks turn moderate climbing, handling and descending performance into exceptional, all-conditions riding.  No name is more synonymous with mountain biking shock-absorption then RockShox, a pre-eminent component OEM and after-market brand.

The company recently reported that its sights are set on delivering against prevalent new 27.5” and 29” wheel sizes for 2016. This news comes in conjunction with a move by companies like Trek embracing wider hub sizes – which, according to SRAM, deliver sturdier spoke-bracing angles (especially for those bigger 27.5” and 29” sizes).  

Active Junky rides and likes RockShox, recognizing that top-end performance comes at a price. Short of tuning an entire MTB build, forks are one of the first steps toward a worthwhile update. If you’re a 29er rider with an upgrade in the not-so-distant future, RockShox’s 2016 collection is well worth browsing.
