The Quadra 10 carries on with a new cold forged crown and gives 43mm of travel at 3. The new Quadra 21 uses a high strength alloy clamp-type crown with Mag 21 style external adjusting knobs. The travel is up to 46mm and weight is down to 3. June of that year saw the company introduce its new "Deluxe" product line of rear suspensions, featuring a coil over a hydraulic damper.

The following month, the Super Deluxe product was released, featuring a coil over a hydraulic damper with an oil reservoir. That year, a total of 8. Of that total, the company estimated it held a 35 percent market share. Of the 2. All Judy shocks feature larger 28mm uppers, biaxial wrap around brace and a new forged aluminum crown. All Judy shocks use an MCU spring with a hydraulic damping cartridge. The entry level Judy XC weighs 2. The SL model uses some titanium hardware and aluminum steerer tube to drop the weight to 2.

The DH model is aimed at the downhill market and can be configured for 63 or 75mm of travel while weighing in at 3.

The Quadra series consists of the Quadra 5 and Quadra 21 R. The 5 uses Allen wrench preload adjustments to control 48 mm of travel with a weight of 3. The Mag 21 soldiers on with 48 mm of travel at 3. The new Paris Roubaix is similar to a Mag 21 but sized for c road tires. The fork was first used on the famous cobblestones of the Paris Roubaix race.

Late in the year, Rock Shox acknowledges the problem of blown Judy cartridges. These forks are for the model year In July of that year, bicyclist Paola Pezzo won an Olympic Games gold medal in the first-ever Olympic mountain bike event while using the company's Judy products on her bike. That month, the company also released the Coupe Deluxe product, featuring a coil over a hydraulic damper, similar to the Deluxe product. We have made many changes which have produced a reduced cost structure, a strong product line, and wonderful customer relationships.

However, the costs associated with the restructuring, combined with the costs associated with our patent defence litigation and a product recall last year, have left us in a difficult liquidity position. Q4 sales for RockShox were down by OE sales decreased We have been interested in diversifying our core business into suspension, and the RockShox opportunity fits perfectly with that strategy.

Together, our global strength will enable us to have an even more meaningful presence in the industry, at events, and with the consumer. A press release from SRAM said an integration plan would be completed by June but that some details would be released before that at the Taipei Show, th April.

In-depth discussions have been ongoing with two potential purchasers, each of whom is proposing a cash-out merger of the Company to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of such purchaser…. Another role of the workshop is to build the proprietary test rigs used next door to push prototypes beyond their limits. Our eye is caught by a dyno machine that looks to be rattling a fork to pieces.

Another device is slowly bending a fork backwards to simulate what happens when you slam into obstacles. Unbelievably, the fork deflects by over 20cm before springing back straight, so the next time you plough into a rock at full speed, be more worried about what will happen to you than your bike! We GPS-track the recycling truck that comes to pick them up.

By the time a fork has gone through three cycles of being built, abused, revised and rebuilt, it should be pretty close to ready for production. Alongside this, while the engineering team is working on the nuts and bolts, Jon and Jed will be out on the road trying to sell the product to bike brands.

All this happens behind the scenes, and the first sniff we get that a new fork or shock is on the horizon is usually when production is underway. The goal of any company launching a new product is that, when the curtain is finally lifted, the product is already in the shops and ready to buy. But, as Jon explained to us at the outset, what we see as this exciting new product is already old news to them.
