Rebirth exists! Rock Shox breathes life back into the Judy
"Judy Gold RL" is Rock Shox's answer when the US manufacturer unpacks the motto Back to the Future for the Judy fork. Landing in 2017, the fork with the legendary name offers space for up to 2.8 inch wide plus tires, in both 27.5 and 29 inch wheel sizes. On board is Motion Control RL damping technology and the easy-to-use Solo Air suspension system, as well as the option to fit a lockout remote for the handlebars.
The black tubes on the uppers also ensure a typical look and the entire design of the fork is reminiscent of the Pike from the same company. Of course, the suspension travel should not be missing from the description: This is specified as 80 to 120 millimeters. With the "Judy Silver TK", Rock Shox is also launching a more affordable Judy, which is only available to original equipment manufacturers and doesn't look quite as high-quality with its silver uppers.
In the same vein, the US suspension pioneer has given the Rekon fork a makeover. This springs with two different chassis in the ranges 80 to 120 and 130 to 150 millimetres. The wheel sizes are 27.5 and 29 inches, and the mounting width is Boost. Both Judy and Rekon feature a new air pressure table, which should also simplify setup for e-mountainbike use.
And with the new Judy and new Rekon, Rock Shox is not stopping there: The "SID RL" offers 100 millimetres of travel and this new RL version has been given a new version of the damping side. At the same time, the SID World Cup and SID RLC forks have been given new graphics.The Reba fork completes the all-round package: with the "Reba RL", it is designed as an all-purpose weapon, as it has three chassis variants, each with a maximum stroke of 100, 120 and 150 millimetres. The 27.5 Plus size is also popular here, Rock Shox builds the 29er version of the fork in such a way that the aforementioned size also fits in and is also in the right place on the e-mountainbike.
