The wait is over; the ultimate coil shock is here. Adjustments that matter housed in extreme durability.

"There's nothing like the feeling of being one with the bike. Weighting... un-weighting... arcing... airing... braking... sliding... making your bike a complete extension of body and mind. To achieve this feeling... a perfect balance of body position, control location, and suspension performance is a must. Critical to the complete feel and flow is the heart of the bike... the rear shock. The rear shock must control the rider's movements and actions, as well as smooth out the ever-changing earth we ride on. Not an easy task, but something that the heart of the bike can handle. Are you part of your bike or just a passenger? Do you have the flow.........bro?" - H-Bizzle(Greg Herbold)

Turn Key™ TurnKey™ is a reliable, simple lockout system designed to address the needs of the XC and lightweight All Mountain bike rider. TurnKey provides two position settings: "on" or "off". The lockout is easy to use, and is compatible with PopLoc remotes. Unlike some of its competition, TurnKey offers a patented blow-off mechanism for unforeseen impacts and obstacles.
Dual Air™ Independently adjustable positive and negative air spring chambers. Very light, highly tunable, the finest air spring system on the market!
Solo Air Using a single Schrader air valve to simultaneously fill both positive and negative air chambers, Solo Air simplifies suspension setup, while retaining the lightweight and plush ride of Dual Air.
Isolite Cushion The patented IsoLite Cushion is designed to have a specific compression, rebound, and spring rate relative to travel. It provides less friction, lighter weight and is more consistent than other cushion technologies.
2-Step Air™ 2-Step Air makes All Mountain and Freeride bicycles climb easier in an active setting without compromising any downhill performance. 2-Step Air combines a Solo Air system with a hydraulic travel adjuster. This externally adjusted system features two travel positions: full travel and minimum travel (a position located 45mm less than full travel). The Solo Air spring is fully active in both the high and low travel settings.

Blackbox Mission Control
The NEW BlackBox Motion Control damping system builds upon the foundation of the original Motion Control. It features a titanium spring tube as well as Dual Flow compression and rebound. External adjustments are detented. Crown adjust forks utilize a carbon fiber compression knob, while remote forks use a new "Nip-Tuck" spool that hides excess cable for a cleaner look.
MISSION CONTROL™ The most independently adjustable mountain bike damper ever! The long travel single crown fork sees the most diverse combination of rider and terrain inputs in mountain biking. In order to address these inputs and maintain control, this rider needs a highly adjustable performance damper. Mission Control answers the need with technologies such as shimmed damper performance, Dual Flow rebound, and detented adjusters. In addition, when the trail turns uphill, the rider can benefit from a Floodgate that can be turned on or off. Mission Control has it all for the long travel single crown fork.
Motion Control Motion Control allows the rider the ability to tune their fork with the desired level of efficiency, yet retain small bump performance. Besides being light, durable, consistent, and easy to service, the Motion Control damper offers a wide range of usable set-up choices. With functional adjustments that can be felt by the rider and easy "on the fly" adjustability, Motion Control is loved by XC, All Mountain and DH riders alike.
Air U-turn™ Based on our Dual Air spring system, Air U-Turn offers 30mm of travel adjustment via a crown-mounted adjuster. As travel is changed the spring automatically adjusts to the appropriate rate.
U-Turn U-Turn offers 45mm of travel adjustment to a coil spring via an external adjuster. As travel is changed the spring automatically adjusts to the appropriate rate without affecting preload.
MAXLE QR™ A 20mm thru-axle system that is entirely toolfree, Maxle is faster than a standard quick release lever yet retains all of the stiffness benefits of a 20mm system. For 2007, all Maxles feature the 360¡ lever design. Put it where you want it!
POPLOC™ The ultimate in suspension control. Turn it on, turn it off. Set it, Forget it, or adjust it on the fly. Compatible with all remote actuated RockShox suspension products.
