Rockshox SID World Cup gets a significant update for model year 2010 affecting
two parts of the SID chassis and shedding 110 grams. The crown and steerer
evolved from the existing aluminum architecture to a hollow one-piece carbon
fiber composition. The fork lowers are now full magnesium compared to the
magnesium and carbon fiber combination found in the 2009 version. The all
magnesium lowers continue to feature Power Bulges, which increase stiffness
and bushing durability.
The changes positively affect the overall weight, bringing the fork with full steerer
in at 1400 grams, while maintaining the incredible steering precision the SID is
known for.
The BlackBox Technology carbon crown and steerer attributes, pertaining to
strength and stiffness, have been tested in our labs and in the World Cup race
arena since 2008. The result is a light chassis that passes the stringent CEN test
standards. A year of testing, developing and racing this new carbon crown and
steerer has established the next evolution of the SID which remains the king of
XC racing.
SID World Cup continues to employ the BlackBox Motion Control damper and
Dual Air™ spring system for vast tunability and ease of service. PushLoc remote
lockout actuation is included.
All SID forks pair extremely well with Monarch™ and Ario™ rear shocks for full
suspension proficiency.
