Suspension components are very technically complex and they’re responsible for a big part of the bike’s overall performance. Fox Racing Shox started producing suspension components for bikes only about 15 years ago und used their knowledge – coming from the motocross-industry – to become the industries benchmark for a long time. Even though they kept innovating and working hard, the competition seemed to have run just a bit harder in the past years. Rockshox ‘s Charger dampers for the Pike and Boxxer forks work so well and set the battle in suspension-componentry on fire.

These bars use a new, larger clamping diameter, 35mm rather than 31.8mm, so how can something bigger be...
