Rockshox suspension fork for Gravel

The RockShox Rudy suspension Gravel fork is the key to even more freedom on your gravel adventures. With its finely tuned suspension travel, it not only gives you confidence and the necessary grip on tricky, fast routes, but also comfort on long tours and bike trips. Since their inception, manufacturers of gravel bikes with wider tires and powerful disc brakes have been trying to wring more and more off-road potential out of these versatile all-rounders. RockShox has recognized this trend and delivers the right answer with the Rudy! The suspension gravel fork utilizes the same technologies that RockShox successfully applies in mountain biking. However, the Rudy is not a stripped-down MTB fork. On the contrary: the Rudy is newly developed and intended for use on powerful gravel bikes. It provides the necessary support when you need it, but remains discreetly in the background while pedaling. On the damper side you will find the chic and lightweight Charger Race Day cartridge, which also ensures excellent responsiveness on the SID SL MTB cross-country racing fork. The rebound speed can be adjusted. A lockout function that almost completely prevents compression of the fork is also present. This allows you to put full force on the pedals during steep passages or when coming out of the saddle on asphalt. Suspension is provided by the Solo Air air spring, which can be accurately adjusted to the rider’s weight via air pressure. The simple adjustment options make the Rudy easy to use. In line with the trend toward stronger tires, the Rudy Ultimate XPLR accommodates tires up to 50 mm wide. Options for 30 or 40 mm suspension travel and mounting options for short or full fenders make the fork versatile. It is suitable for both sporty tours and epic bikepacking trips. So the Rudy is ready for all adventures and ready to open the next chapter in gravel biking. Are you? Details:
