Performance upgrade for E-MTBs
The bigger the bikes, the greater the requirements. In order to do justice to this in terms of price and performance, RockShox has developed the 35 Gold. Whether with an E or without, the 35 Gold delivers performance thanks to the tried and tested DebonAir air spring and motion control damping. New for this year are the assembly points for mudguards, which are aimed primarily at e-mountain bikers. All in all, you're sure to wonder how we could put so much quality and performance into such an affordable package.
Technologies used
In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses for this product.
DebonAir - confidence-inspiring performance when things get really steep and technical
The versatile, adjustable DebonAir air spring is ready for anything the trail demands. Despite its silky smooth response, the ZEB has a higher spring deflection and thus conveys more confidence on technical trails. Building on the revised DebonAir from Pike and Lyrik, the ZEB offers a larger negative chamber for a more downhill feeling.
Bottomless tokens
With the help of bottomless spacers, riders can optimally adapt the air suspension performance of their RockShox suspension fork to their own riding style and preferred suspension. Thanks to the easy-to-install bottomless spacers, the air spring characteristic changes in order to prevent bottoming out after a large impact. Aggressive drivers can thus attack more heavily on a route. Removing the bottomless spacers results in a more linear air spring characteristic, which increases the damping in certain types of terrain or track conditions and ensures that less aggressive riders can use 100 percent of the spring travel.
Boost
BOOST is a new wheel and drive specification that offers an improved frame geometry with shorter chainstays, wider and harder suspension, a greater number of chainring options, more room for wider tires and increased stiffness and robustness of the wheel.
Motion Control ™
Imagine you are driving on the moon. Rolling hills, crushed rock blasted out of craters ... craters. Since there is no gravity, you wouldn't even need a chair lift. Unfortunately, you cannot drive on the moon. But there is also a lot of inhospitable terrain on earth. But RockShox has gravity, which means you need suspension that can handle climbs and descents alike. With their motion control damping technology, this is exactly what is possible. You can't ride the moon, but motion control can make gravity your subject.
Torque Caps
Torque Caps reinforce the connection between the hub and the fork dropout by increasing the surface area that connects the two. This creates a stronger and stiffer interface that gives you better feedback and more control. So you can concentrate on the most important connection: the one between your bike and the trail.
