RockShox Unveils MY2025 Suspension

MY25 Pike, Lyrik, and ZEB forks with Charger 3.1 damper

Building on the proven Charger 3 platform, we worked with our riders to make Charger 3.1 an even more capable fork damper. While decreasing overall damping throughout the system, clever internal improvements have broadened the adjustment range of Low Speed Compression (LSC) and High Speed Compression (HSC). A broader adjustment range means more room to find your sweet spot and perfect ride feel. No matter where you ride, you can find your perfect settings. With the new Shim Tune Kits, you can customize your damper just the way you like. The updated forks also feature an updated bushing package, resulting in the lowest possible friction for an overall improved system.

The Charger 3 platform is made possible with an extremely consistent damper design featuring an Internal Floating Piston (IFP). The coil spring opposite the piston allows for unparalleled responsiveness on impact and enhanced consistency through travel. But what sets the Charger 3 platform apart from other dampers is the truly independent High Speed Compression (HSC) and Low Speed Compression (LSC) damping. We eliminated HSC and LSC cross-talk—that overlap in adjustment functionality that ties HSC and LSC adjustments together, making truly independent tuning previously impossible.

Pike: Ultra-versatile, super capable, lightweight on the scales, heavy on the attitude—this is Pike. Not afraid of the rooty chutes. Unintimidated by the calf-crushing climbs. We’ve updated our trail-capable legend with the new Charger 3.1 RC2 damper. Along with vibration-killing ButterCups, this damper offers better traction, comfort, and control. With more tunable range, Charger 3.1 enables riders to set up the perfect suspension action for their preferences. A fork designed to level up your trail game. Experience the legend.

Lyrik: The most versatile fork in our lineup, Lyrik harmonizes descending power with effortless efficiency. Lyrik’s legendary performance enters a new era with the Charger 3.1 RC2 damper that offers a wider tunable range of adjustments for the perfect suspension action. Lyrik Ultimate packs an orchestra of industry-leading tech like the ButterCups technology and a DebonAir+ air spring in a 35mm chassis. Now better than ever, Lyrik is ready to push your limits

Zeb: Built for the best riders, ridden on the hardest tracks, ZEB Ultimate rules the world’s toughest enduros. Equipped with the new Charger 3.1 RC2 damper, ZEB gives riders exceptional adjustability for the right balance of comfort, control, and speed. Alongside this flagship damper, the 38mm chassis rides on vibration-killing ButterCups and a DebonAir+ spring. The technology you need for the fastest split times, the style you want on the start line: This is ZEB.

MY25 SuperDeluxe rear shock

Taking an award-winning product to the next level, the updated Super Deluxe is focused on damping refinements to provide meaningful performance benefits. We’ve redesigned the main piston and reservoir to allow for optimized oil flow to give you less compression damping for better traction, whether you’re flowing through berms or smashing through rock gardens. Built for the rides that go anywhere and include everything, we’ve updated the damping range controlled by the external compression adjusters to a more usable range, complementing more bikes, more rider’s needs, and more terrain.

More grip, more traction, and more control on the roughest track and trails. Super Deluxe features redesigned High Speed Compression (HSC) and Low Speed Compression (LSC) damping for responsive, controlled suspension performance. We freed up oil flow within the LSC circuit to provide five damping adjustments that range from light to supportive, all without compromising on grip.

A new High-Flow Piston combined with a lighter rebound check plate optimize oil flow and shim engagement. Together, this system eliminates rear wheel hang-ups and smooths the transition between damping circuits, allowing the bike to track more precisely and hold any line you choose.

Super Deluxe is more tunable than ever, with the right number of usable clicks, each making a noticeable difference in suspension performance.

MY25 Vivid Coil rear shock

Vivid Coil builds upon the supple performance that is the hallmark of a coil spring with advanced technology and features. The basic coil spring isn’t novel, but the damping system, design, and architecture of Vivid Coil brings all of RockShox’s technology to bear for a fine-tuned suspension component that allows riders to tackle increasingly challenging terrain. Designed to match any course, Vivid Coil features TouchDown technology—a position-sensitive damping system that’s forgiving at the beginning of travel while staying composed through the middle and end of the stroke—and Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out to fine-tune your compression damping within the last 20% of travel.

To give Vivid Coil a supple ride at the beginning of its travel, TouchDown technology bypasses the compression damping generated by the main piston in the first 10% of its travel. Quieting trail chatter is just the beginning. To handle hectic terrain, the next 70% of Vivid Coil’s travel rides on controlled and stable compression damping. Adding to TouchDown technology’s adaptability, Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out lets you tune rear suspension feel for the harsh hits that dip into the final 20% of travel. Go ahead and do an end-zone dance if you feel like it.

Vivid Coil features Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out (AHBO), which kicks in to increase compression damping within the last 20% of travel—but how much damping it offers is all on you. The key component is an adjustable dial offering five different compression settings to customize the cushioning you experience on impact. Vivid Coil’s AHBO allows for a wider range of rebound tunes to match our customer’s frame kinematics perfectly.
