SID - The fork for competition and champions

Cross-country racing has never been easy, but modern trails and bikes demand suspension that can do more than just save a few grams. The SID already shook up the World Cup in the 90s and is now back on the XC throne in the current generation. Supported by the revised DebonAir suspension, Charger Race Day 2 damping system and an optimized chassis.

Light done right. As one of the lightest models on the trail, the SID SL continues the legacy of the incredibly light XC suspension forks that have proven their world-class credentials in the toughest races. But without the right performance and durability, light weight is meaningless. While the 32 mm stanchion diameter chassis and internal upgrades are dedicated to robustness, the voluminous DebonAir suspension impresses with its adaptability and suppleness, especially at the top end of the travel. Thanks to the 3-position adjustable compression damping, the innovative Charger Race Day 2 damping of the Ultimate version covers every inch of the track. In addition to the hard-hitting "Lock" and the plush "Open" setting, the efficient "Pedal" function stands out.

The magic number. Cross Country is all about efficiency, because efficiency means control. And more control means more possibilities. This is provided by the Charger shock with the "3-Position" system (3P), which allows you to switch between the "Open", "Lock" and "Pedal" settings during the race. Extensive tests, in which XC champ Nino Schurter was also involved, have shown that the "Pedal" function in particular offers advantages in cross-country use. While the "Lock" setting shows its strengths during fast starts and sprints as well as longer climbs on unpaved roads, the "Open" setting is intended for the demanding descents on today's XC trails. The "Pedal" function is for the terrain in between, combining efficiency with comfort, traction and control to tackle tough climbs or fast, flowing singletrack.

The icing on the cake. While the lightweight fork crown milled from aluminum ensures that the suspension fork remains nice and slim without compromising steering precision, a special mixture of the well-known Maxima Plush Dynamic Suspension Lube developed exclusively for the current SID model series effectively reduces friction. Developed in collaboration with the leading experts in high-performance lubrication, the gold medal formula not only keeps the suspension fresh for longer, but also ensures smooth operation of internal components at all temperatures.

Maxima Plush Dynamic. Maxima Plush Dynamic Suspension Lube is characterized by its friction-reducing effect. In addition, the lubricant has impressive properties that not only extend the durability of the fork, but also improve its performance.
