New rockshox nomenclature

supersonic

bails87

So 'R' means two different things? :roll:

Would it have been that hard to use 'Rm' for remote?

Radioactiveman

MMM Titanium

moggy82

So Dart mean opposite of World Cup

DART = Bottom Rung / The Worst

supersonic

I think RSs eforts may confuse matters more lol, the two Rs being one.

The motion control Sektor fork will be called the RL. Even though a big sticker on the fork adjuster says compression, and it has floodgate threshold.

So RCLT?

lawman

so a fork could realistically be called the R2T3C2TiXX

supersonic

plus dual air. Uturn.

lawman

so its a DAUTR2T3C2TiXX then so not only do rockshox have ridiculously large range, they now have stuppidly large names :roll:

supersonic

I think can do better than that lol.

Say a mission controlled totem worldcup with a Uturn spring, if it was to come out.

Totem RR2C2XXDHTTiDHLWCDAUT

stumpyjon

RD2DC3P0XXX

May the force be with you :roll:

Totem RR2C2XXDHTTiDHLWCDAUT

dont forget 2 step and DH mission control, and then we have axle types to contend with as well

so a 2011 fork could have ......*deep breath* ...... R2LT3TIWCC2DHMCDHXXRDA2SML20

I count 4 different types of rebound damping in there

i count one but two remotes and a few too many damping systems i think

supersonic

I would just use an abbrieviated name for the damper system in the name. The product description will show what adjustments are ie:

MoCo
MiCo
Rbnd
TKey
BB
XX


etc.

Some of the stuff is only for the rear shocks though.

GHill

Superficially very similar to Fox, but with the potential to go nuts!

Seems they put it in the tech part by accident. It is not on the actual spec.

Well 4 of those are model names, not postfixes. 32/36/40 is fairly self explainatory?

Then all we have is R/RL/RLC/RC2 - not too bad is it? :P

SDK2007

There are also separate World Cup and World Cup XX models.
If the World Cup is the range topping fork why not just make it a single WC XX product.

The Lyrik Solo Air is not dual air.

Actaully 5 of them are model names since the 40 is just called the 40

But yes, Fox is very self explanitory

supersonic

But they have far less of a range than RS. ie no budget models.

xtreem

What do you get in DH?
Just a Downhill sticker?

Btw, Turnkey and lockout wasn't the same? :roll:

This is rubbish.

What's xloc? Normal lock out with extra marketing?

hydrolic lockout, currently exclusive to RS xx forks

RealMan

Hydraulic lock out? Sounds like just another thing to go wrong. What's wrong with a normal cable lock out.
