RockShox Recon Gold RL Solo Air ForksNot every XC rider is as addicted to riding as Rockshox are. But that doesn't mean they want to ride suspension that's “casual”. So Rockshox created the Recon. With advanced available features like a stiff tapered steerer and aluminium upper tubes, the Recon is a singletrack force to be reckoned with.Features: Damping: Motion Control Spring: Solo Air Adjustments:  Damping: External rebound, low speed compression to 'Lock'; Spring: Air pressure via single Schrader valve (SA) / Spring via preload (Coil) Crown: Forged Hollow 6061 T-6 Aluminium Upper Tubes: 32mm, Straight Wall Aluminium, Low Friction Anodised Lowers: Magnesium, disc only 9mm QR Maximum Rotor Size: 210mm Recommended Rear Shock: Monarch Weight: 1943g *Weight based on 29", 265mm Tapered Alloy steererTechnologies: Air Guides: Rockshox print Air Guides on all of their air-sprung forks. Maybe not a technological feat, but it will help you set up your suspension in seconds instead of minutes. And more time on your bike equals more chances to earn King of the Mountain on your favourite trail. Motion Control: Imagine riding on the moon. Rolling hills, crushed rock blasted out of craters… craters. There's no gravity so you wouldn't even need a chairlift. Unfortunately you can't ride on the moon. There's lots of gnarly terrain on earth. But, earth has gravity so you'll need suspension that climbs as well as it descends. With Rockshox Motion Control damper technology you'll do just that.  Power Bulge: When you need your forearms to be stronger for more control, you bulk them up in the gym. When you need more durability from your fork, bulk them up with Rockshox Power Bulge. Other companies just increase the stanchion size adding extra weight. Power Bulge simply reinforces the lower leg to allow for an oversized bushing, increasing stiffness and maximising your ride Solo Air: Solo Air is like a Buddhist monk. Its enlightened design lets you add air to your forks through a single Schrader valve, filling both the positive and negative air spring chambers simultaneously. So they're always in perfect equilibrium, like Yin and Yang. Giving you a plush, predictable ride you can set up in seconds, with the lightest weight air spring on the market.Buy RockShox Frames & Forks from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store....
