Press Release

Rockshox Releases New Psylo, Domain and Rudy Fork Models 3

All kinds of new fork goodies from RockShox, including new dampers, fork models, and air spring updates.

NEW ISOLATOR DAMPER

With a nod to the premium Charger 3 damper found in our Signature Series forks, the all-new Isolator damper utilizes a shim-based, spring-backed Internal Floating Piston (IFP) damper to give riders a consistent and predictable feel throughout its entire travel. Isolator’s three-position Compression adjustment (Open, Pedal, and Firm) means that when the Isolator damper is Open, oil flows freely through the damper to absorb big hits (and save your hands), Pedal is supportive without harshness on successive impacts, and Firm offers the maximum damping force to calm bobbing for the most efficient ride.

The Isolator damper’s IFP design keeps air and oil from mixing, resulting in unparalleled responsiveness on impact and enhanced consistency throughout the range of travel. The all-new Rebound Piston manages oil flow on both the compression and rebound stroke, using shim stacks on the underside of the piston to control the oil flow rate in both directions. The Rebound Piston uses a dual-flow rebound circuit that features a responsive easy-flow path for traction in the tech and a hard-flow path that engages when you’re deep in travel for more control. All of this means the front wheel can track through any feature the trail may throw at it while providing predictability and reducing harshness. And… taking another cue from Charger 3, the trick up its sleeve is just how quiet it is.

UPDATED DEBONAIR AIR SPRING

The updated Debonair air spring offers a buttery-smooth off-the-top feel, tuned to complement the all-new Isolator damper. With a design philosophy based on the Signature Series’ DebonAir+ air springs, we found the perfect blend of positive and negative volumes for a taller ride height and increased mid-stroke support to keep confidence high.


PSYLO LEVEL UP

Riders at every level of the sport deserve performance grounded in the foundations that produce podium-dominating forks. Inspired by the technology driving the legendary Pike and Lyrik, Psylo can’t help but level up your experience on the trail. Whether you’re a weekend warrior looking to spice up your E-MTB or a die-hard trail crusher who knows your skill speaks for itself, Psylo is the fork you’ve been waiting for.

NEW PSYLO GOLD RC

You don’t often strike gold twice! The RockShox Psylo Gold is bursting with value that invites riders to rethink what’s possible, whether they’re on lunch loops or all-mountain excursions, mountain bikes or E-MTBs. The all-new 35mm platform delivers premium performance with the new flow-focused Isolator RC three-position damper, tunable DebonAir air spring, and Maxima Plush Dynamic Suspension Lube to keeps things running smooth. Psylo combines value and performance to bring capability and reliability to each and every ride.
