"Pinkbike Poll: Climb Switch Usage Survey Results"

Pinkbike's new RockShox Flight Attendant XC suspension system automatically switches between three compression damping modes, sparking a discussion on the value of a lockout. While it may offer a modest advantage for professional cross-country racers, its benefits for regular riders on long climbs are debatable. The main downside is the risk of forgetting to unlock it for descents. Pinkbike's poll asks readers about their lockout usage and reasons for not using it more often.

Specialized has launched the Epic World Cup, a full-suspension cross-country mountain bike designed for top-flight racing, with 75mm of rear travel. The bike moves away from the brand’s long-standing Brain suspension system, instead using a new shock designed with RockShox that enables you to control the pressure of the negative air chamber. The bike is only available in Specialized’s highest build tiers, S-Works and Pro, and is priced at £12,000/$12,000/€12,500 and £8,500/$8,900/€9,000, respectively.

RockShox Unveils Advanced Fork Technology for 2023.

RockShox has unveiled its 2023 forks, which include new air springs, dampers, and Buttercups. The Charger 3 damper has moved the high-speed and low-speed compression damping circuits from in-parallel to in-series, allowing for a lot of low-speed damping force while still having the high-speed relatively open. Buttercups are rubber elastomers that sit at the bottom of the spring and damper shafts, allowing a little movement between the lowers and upper tubes without having to force the spring and damper seals to slide as well. The Debonair+ air spring has a softer "touchdown feel" than the previous generation of forks.
