RockShox Boxxer Ride review by Bike Magazine
When SRAM purchased RockShox in 2002 the new parent company made an obvious commitment to riders who weren’t interested in the high-end Boxxer or SID that helped RockShox gain a significant share of the fork market. SRAM’s renewed focus has paid off — RockShox’s new products are receiving accolades across the industry and consumers are responding by opening their pocketbooks (the 2005 Pike lineup sold out in June in Canada).
For 2005, RockShox added a new model to the Boxxer lineup called the Ride. The Boxxer Ride is a dual crown fork that features RockShox’s patented U-Turn travel adjustment system. The U-Turn feature allows riders to adjust the fork’s travel between 133mm and 178mm (5.25″ and 7″), giving freeriders the option of pedalling their rigs to the top of the hill instead of the all-too-common push. Bike Magazine added a review of the Boxxer Ride to their website a couple of days ago. The review documents the ins and outs of the fork and gives the reader a decent idea about the product’s overall performance. Also, you can get a little more information about the fork’s on-trail performance in another review published on the Bike website.
