Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Forks. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of RockShox BoXXer Select Forks 2020.

The first thing is material. Looking at what RockShox BoXXer Select Forks 2020 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Forks. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Forks. Brands like RockShox are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Forks category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Forks.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

  • Description: RockShox BoXXer Select ForksThese superb forks are designed for the next generation of DH shredders as they offer phenomenal shock absorption on every run. They feature a tough aluminium upper tube construction which makes them perfect for withstanding all the abuse that comes with blasting across the trails. RockShox has used magnesium for the lower tubes, so you’ll benefit from maximum stiffness without any excess weight holding you back. DebonAir Equipped MTB Forks Ready to set you soaring down the slopes, these brilliant forks are equipped with a DebonAir spring for a plush and predictable riding experience. You’ll notice when weaving from trail to trail how the connection between your bike and ther terrain becomes seamless as the spring absorbs every little impact. What’s most impressive is you won’t have to worry about feeling any harsh jolts on your body thanks to how smooth and soft this model performs. Sag Gradients Easy to set-up and maintain, RockShox has installed sag gradients which are printed on these fork’s upper tubes. This makes it the incredibly simple to set the suspension to suit your riding preferences. Instead of wasting time with plastic clips and rulers to keep your suspension fine-tuned, you can now spend more time shredding the trails thanks to this model’s fast and flawless customisation capabilities. Features: Upper Tube Material: Aluminium Lower Tube Material: Magnesium Crown Material: Forged and CNC-machined 6061 T6 Aluminium Use: MTB, DH Steerer: 1 1/8″ Travel: 200mm Spring Type: DebonAir Damper Type: Charger RC Disc Brake Mount: Post mount Maximum Rotor Size: 220mm Adjustment: External beginning stroke rebound, low speed compression Offset: 46mm Maxle Included: Maxle Stealth thru-axle Weight: 2.2kg (approx)Technologies: DebonAir: It is ok to be soft. Debon Air is not ashamed to give way under the weakest push. In fact, it makes shocks plusher than ever, right from the start. It might seem a weakness, until you take DebonAir to the trail. The connection between your bike and the terrain will be seamless, as your DebonAir equipped shock absorbs every little hit without any harsh feeling on your body. A shock so soft, you can push way harder. Charger RC: A durable and simple cartridge style compression damper with a spring backed IFP and bleed port paired with Rapid Recovery rebound damping. Rapid Recovery: Who doesn’t want more available wheel travel for successive hits? The Rapid Recovery System allows the shock to recovery faster between consecutive bumps, letting the wheel track the ground with greater precision. This more active suspension system, doesn’t pack up and enables the bike to ride in a higher and softer part of the spring rate. Rapid Recovery gives the rider access to more available wheel travel, bump after bump, to achieve a smoother and more controlled ride. Sag Gradients: Don’t set your sag correctly, and you might as well be hopping onto someone else’s bike. But why bust out plastic clips or rulers to keep your suspension fine-tuned? RockShox sag gradients are printed right on the fork’s upper tubes making perfect suspension setup easy and accurate. Power Bulge: When you need your forearms to be stronger for more control, you bulk them up in the gym. When you need more durability from your fork, bulk them up with our Power Bulge. Other companies just increase the stanchion size adding extra weight. Power Bulge simply reinforces the lower leg to allow for an oversized bushing, increasing stiffness and maximizing your ride. Plus, it’s called Power Bulge. Bottomless Tokens: With the optional tokens (volume-spacer) the air volume of the fork can be reduced so the spring characteristic curve can be influenced. A smoother suspension with higher end-progression is achieved. Maxle Stealth: The Maxle Stealth thru axle offers a light, low profile alternative to Maxle Lite and Maxle Ultimate.
