What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"RockShox's new LinearXL spring is the first air fork I've ridden that genuinely behaves like a coil early in the stroke: supple enough to stay active on chunky flat ground, with the mid-stroke support that keeps my line when things get steep. The fixed bottom-out makes end-stroke feel the same run after run."Why We Like ItNew for this model, the Delta RC damper puts compression and rebound adjustment in separate, intuitive controls at the crown. Setup is fast to reach, easy to repeat, and straightforward to communicate to a riding partner.
