Desert Dreaming – RockShox RS-1 in Action

Last week SRAM teased us with a visual launch of the new RS-1 inverted fork. Internet speculation on its intended use went all the way from fatbikes to cyclocross (really?!). Now we get the chance to see it in action, and the simplest answer has prevailed. It’s clearly an XC fork, in this case being ridden on 29ers.

But that’s not what this piece is even about. It’s just a fun lifestyle piece that goes beyond speculation about a fork, in a good way. While we wait for details on the RS-1, sit back and enjoy Kate Courtney and Russell Finsterwald having a good time in Palm Springs with video and a gallery from Adrian Marcoux.
