RockShox Unisex Adult Judy Silver TK Suspension Fork, One Size

Product Information

Torque Caps make the bond between hub and fork dropout stronger, with an increased surface area connecting the two. This creates a stronger, stiffer interface, giving you a more responsive front wheel and more control. So you concentrate on the most important connection, the one between your bike and the trail. Turnkey

Pike and Yari - The Pike and Yari fork series offer long travel – 140 to 160 mm – and are designed for a wide range of trail riding. Pike forks are somewhat lighter and more expensive than Yari forks, but both offer excellent adjustability so you can tailor them to any full suspension mountain bike. There are 100- and 120mm options in 27.5, but the 29er versions only come in 80- or 100mm, while all XCR32s are limited to a 180mm max rotor size, so the XC in the name is a clue to their suitability.Winner: The Judy Gold model wins this section for its motion control damper. Not only does it allow rebound damping but also compression damping too. Adjustment Type: Coil spring on Judy [B1], coil or air spring on Silver TK [A3], air spring on Silver TK [A2] and Gold RL [A2] and Gold RL [A3]. The Pike Select+ is treated to almost all the same technology as the Pike Ultimate, but misses out on the ButterCups and the machined crown.

The fork travel of Judy Gold outshines Judy Silver. The Judy gold has a variable travel rate of 80-120 mm. The Judy Silver has a fork travel rate of 120 mm which is not inconsistent. The variable rate allows the Judy Gold to adapt to different terrains. Hence, it can be a good choice for those who want to explore different terrains.

The fork progressed through its travel pretty smoothly and seems to ramp up slightly. Near the end, It only bottomed out on one big hit, but that was more rider error than the fork and it wasn’t too harsh. Probably the best compliment I can give it is that for the majority of the ride I forgot about it. I was much more focused on the brakes and drivetrain and wasn't wondering if I could adjust the rebound or add/release pressure on the fork. It felt nice and neutral without requiring a laundry list of adjustments to suit my size and riding style. We’re going to cover all the 34mm legged forks from X-Fusion here as they all share very similar architecture and features, just for different wheel sizes. Slant is the 26in 100-160mm travel fork, Sweep the 27.5in with the same travel option, and Slide the 29er which stretches from 100-140mm travel. There was a Trace 34mm fork which you might find too, which was a precursor to the Slide but with a fancier unicrown construction, but the latest Trace forks use 36mm legs.
