Great video, Rob! Some of those shots you got are gosh dang beautiful 👌 -Mike
-
maybe next time, tear down the fork to show us what is different.
-
Rock Shox would like to say thank you to all of the Charger 3.0 beta testers, and a huge Welcome!! to all of the new 3.1 beta testers.
-
Looks like a good update, refining the new damper tech
-
Best quality bike content on YT! Fork looks supple!
-
Mountain bike industry turning into Apple

Red = nice and good. 😊 Nice job Rob.
-
Great vid rob awesome shots and location!! Where is it you’re riding by the way? And if you have a Zeb ultimate from day two years ago can you update the internals to this new spec design?? Be cool if you could..
-
Great video Rob. I'm never the biggest fan of red in general, but on the rock shox it reminds me of back in the day with the Judy diablos and I think they just sing i would defo do in red when it comes to those..
-
I've always run the forks at fully open to make them seem less harsh. I hope this technology can spread to the cheaper forks over time.
-
I gave the charger 3 damper and I’m very pleased. Just seems like it’s such small upgrades it’s not worth to get it until a full service is needed. But the vivid dies intrigue me a bit. Have bothered the coil and air super deluxe ultimate shocks and switch them up pending where and what I’m riding
-
Crestline must be very happy abut this rockshox review, I can't help saying. :cat-orange-whistling:
-
Looks like 2024 Crestline! How does it compare to Fox 38 Factory?
-
Not sure why it needs to be silent. I like my grip2 sound, best sound in the world.
-
I wonder if they have sorted the CSU issue out
-
Question Rob. Have you tried an Intend Edge fork or any of the Intend USD forks?
-
Nice review, think you’ve tried both so what’s your choice ohlins 38’s or new zebs?
-
I've got a Zeb 2023 model and so far, I have been finding it pretty difficult to get it feeling right, I must say. Structurally it's brilliant, it's extremely well built, but sensitively wise, it's not the best.
-
So frustrating.. 3.1 released with new bushing tolerances. Rockshox ignored all customer complaints for bushing tolerance issues causing excessive friction and harshness. "The bushes are to tolerance"... "but we've now changed the tolerance for the new product".

Throw a Smashpot in that fork and you will be really amazed!
