RockShox Refreshes the DebonAir Spring

Date Apr 9, 2020

Reading time

The Rock Shox DebonAir system gets a spring revamp for 2021, with internal adjustments that are claimed to give more initial support, and better use of the available travel. It appears in the new Pike, Lyrik, Yari and Revelation chassis. Get all the details from the source after the break.

CONFIDENCE HIGH

OPTIMIZED FOR A BETTER TRAIL EXPERIENCE.

Every millimeter matters, especially when it comes to charging down steep, technical terrain. Based on rider feedback, the updated DebonAir air spring has even more initial support and adds a whole lot more confidence to the ride. It only took a few tweaks to get it just right. By moving the air piston position relative to the dimple, we increased the ride height from top out to sag. This means more initial support and the use of every millimeter of travel available to stay on top of the terrain.
