A LEGACY OF WINNING
For nearly two decades, BoXXer has been piloted to the top step of the podium at downhill World Cup races and freeride events more than any other fork. With such a legacy, it’s no doubt the new BoXXer has already proven itself with Steve Smith’s World Cup overall victory and Kyle Strait’s Rampage win in 2013. The new BoXXer features the new Charger Damper™, new air and coil spring systems, Rapid Recovery™ rebound, Fast Black stanchions and 27.5” options. And guess what: the lightest production downhill fork on the market is getting a whole lot lighter. __
WHAT’S NEW
• World Cup, Team and RC models
• Charger Damper™ with Rapid Recovery™ rebound (World Cup and Team)
• Air and coil spring refinements (World Cup and Team)
• Fast Black upper tubes (all models)
• 27.5” option (all models)

NEW BOXXER: IN THEIR WORDS
“The biggest improvement for me was decreased fatigue in my hands and arms. I attribute the Charger Damper™ to being able to ride the most DH laps I ever have this summer... I did 250 laps in the Whistler Bike Park without pulling it apart at all and only did so then to see what it looked like on the inside.” ADAM BILLINGHURST BoXXer Charger Damper™ test rider– 1 million vertical feet of downhill in the Whistler Bike Park in 57 days last season

ROCKSHOX CHARGER DAMPER™ BUILT FOR CHARGING
Initially developed for the worldwide acclaimed RockShox Pike, the Charger Damper™ found its way onto BlackBox athletes’ bikes during the 2013 season. Simply put, the consistency, traction and small bump sensitivity of the Charger Damper™ were an instant hit with all our riders, including overall World Cup Champion Steve Smith.

The Charger is RockShox’s most refined damper, and its sealed construction with an expandable rubber bladder ensures damping consistency, reduces vibration and is almost 100 grams lighter than the previous BoXXer damper. Adjustment is easy and intuitive, with a single compression adjuster and a beginning stroke rebound adjuster with a factory set Rapid Recovery™ tune. The internal shim stacks can be re-tuned for light or firm compression and rebound settings. The Charger Damper™ equips the World Cup and Team models of the new BoXXer.

RAPID RECOVERY™ IS MORE CONTROL WITH LESS WORK
__
SUCCESSIVE BUMPS WITH STANDARD SUSPENSION
1 Wheel does not recover fully from impact leaving a gap between it and the ground.
2 Suspension “packs up” as your body mass pushes the suspension down, reducing ride height and available travel for next bump.
3 Pushed into the suspension you are in a firmer part of the spring curve. More bump energy is now transferred to the rider’s body to absorb and control.

REFINED TO WIN
Both the air and coil spring systems on the new BoXXer have been refined for a smoother ride. The Solo Air™ version found on the World Cup model features a revised spring curve and the possibility to tune the spring’s progression with Bottomless Tokens. The coil sprung Team receives a new, factory set bottom out progression. The Fast Black upper tube finish and the 27.5” option for all models (World Cup, Team, RC) round out the list, delivering a new BoXXer platform bound to continue its legacy amongst riders worldwide.

DOMAIN DUAL CROWN
Gravity riders and bike park regulars are tough. They can take a good beating and come back for more. Domain Dual Crown is just like them: its burly 35mm steel stanchions, coil spring and proven damper can handle all the use and abuse of evolving riding skills and not-so-well calculated landings. The addition of a 27.5” option on both models puts Domain Dual Crown ahead of its game as a perfect match for all current gravity bikes.

ROCKSHOX DEBONAIR
It’s ok to be soft. DebonAir is not ashamed to give way under the weakest push. In fact, it makes Monarch and Monarch Plus shocks plusher than ever, right from the start. It might seem a weakness, until you take DebonAir to the trail. The connection between your bike and the terrain will be seamless, as your DebonAir equipped shock absorbs every little hit without any harsh feeling on your body. A shock so soft, you can push way harder.
DebonAir will be available as an option on Monarch RT3 and as the standard configuration on Monarch Plus RC3.
