The SID and Revelation suspension forks are now available in the three popular 26-, 27.5- and 29-inch formats. The SID rolls onto the trail with suspension travel of 80 to 120 millimetres and starts at 1301 grams, while the Revelation hits the trails with 120 to 150 millimetres of travel and brings 1480 grams to the front of the bike in the lightest 26-inch version.
Both forks share the damping system - the so-called Motion Control DNA. The Sram engineers have given the suspension a new "Dig Valve": by redesigning the rebound piston, the fork should react better to impacts, rebound more lively and thus provide more suspension travel. Within the SID and Revelation series, Sram is launching a total of 6 versions (World Cup XX, World Cup, XX, RCT3, RLT, RL) - in the three wheel sizes, of course.

The return of the double lockout
Who can remember? Rock Shox, for example, used a single lockout lever on the Pike fork in combination with an MC 3.3 damper to lock out both suspension elements. This "one for all" principle is now returning to mountain bikes - the XLoc Full Sprint Lockout has two cable outlets to immobilize the shock and fork for uphill or sprint riding.

This lockout will fit SID or Revelation forks and Monarch shocks from Rock Shox's XX series, which are not among the cheapest models. Rock Shox has announced August as the first availability date for Xloc Full Sprint.
