Rock Shox Crown 27.5" Boost C1 MTB Fork with Isolator RC Damper & Fender

The Rock Shox Forks Crown 27.5" Boost C1 represent the pinnacle of mountain bike suspension technology, designed to deliver unmatched control and comfort on all terrains. Built with a robust 38mm aluminum upper tube and a forged, hollow aluminum crown, these forks provide exceptional stiffness and durability, ensuring your bike remains responsive during the most demanding rides. The Isolator RC damper with three-position compression adjustment (Open, Pedal, and Firm) allows riders to precisely tune their suspension for optimal traction and control, whether climbing, descending, or sprinting.

These forks feature the highly tunable DebonAir air spring that delivers a smooth, coil-like feel throughout its 150-180mm travel range, perfectly balancing plushness and support. Incorporating Maxima Plush Dynamic Suspension Lube minimizes friction, enhances suspension performance, and reduces noise for a quieter, more efficient ride. Compatibility with the Boost 15x110mm axle and a tapered 1.5" steerer tube ensures easy installation on modern mountain bike frames, while the short fender included keeps debris at bay without compromising performance.

Optimized for E-MTBs and aggressive trail riding, the Rock Shox Forks Crown 27.5" Boost C1 fork offers a race-proven setup with an axle-to-crown length of 577mm and a 44mm offset, providing balanced handling and precise steering. With a maximum tire diameter of 732mm and rotor size support from 200mm to 220mm, these forks adapt to a wide range of setups, making them ideal for riders seeking versatility and strength in their suspension system.
