Congratulations! You have the best in suspension components on your bicycle! This
manual contains important information about the safe operation and maintenance of your
fork. To ensure that your RockShox fork performs properly, we recommend that you have
your fork installed by a qualified bicycle mechanic. We also urge you to follow our
recommendations to help make your riding experience more enjoyable and trouble-free.

C onsume r Safe ty Info rmati on
1. The fork on your bicycle is designed for use by a single rider, on mountain trails,
and similar off-road conditions.
2. Before riding the bicycle, be sure the brakes are properly installed and adjusted. Use
your brakes carefully and learn your brakes' characteristics by practicing your braking
technique in non-emergency circumstances. Hard braking or improper use of the front
brake can cause you to fall. If the brakes are out of adjustment, improperly installed or
are not used properly, the rider could suffer serious and/or fatal injuries.
3. Your fork may fail in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, any
condition that causes a loss of oil; collision or other activity bending or breaking
the fork's components or parts; and extended periods of non-use. Fork failure
may not be visible. Do not ride the bicycle if you notice bent or broken fork parts,
loss of oil, sounds of excessive topping out, or other indications of a possible fork
failure, such as loss of shock absorbing properties. Instead, take your bike to a
qualified dealer for inspection and repair. In the event of a fork failure, damage to
the bicycle or personal injury may result.
4. Always use genuine RockShox parts. Use of aftermarket replacement parts voids
the warranty and could cause structural failure to the shock. Structural failure could
result in loss of control of the bicycle with possible serious and/or fatal injuries.
5. Use extreme caution not to tilt the bicycle to either side when mounting the bicycle
to a carrier by the fork drop-outs (front wheel removed). The fork legs may suffer
structural damage if the bicycle is tilted while the drop-outs are in the carrier.
Make sure the fork is securely fastened down with a quick release. Make sure the
rear wheel is fastened down when using ANY bike carrier that secures the fork's
drop-outs. Not securing the rear can allow the bike's mass to side-load the
drop-outs, causing them to break or crack. If the bicycle tilts or falls out of its
carrier, do not ride the bicycle until the fork is properly examined for possible
damage. Return the fork to your dealer for inspection or call RockShox if there is
any question of possible damage (See the International Distributor List). A fork leg
or drop-out failure could result in loss of control of the bicycle with possible
serious and/or fatal injuries.
6. Forks designed for use with 'v'-style brakes: only mount cantilever-type brakes to the
existing brake posts. Forks with hangerless style braces are only designed for 'V'- style
or hydraulic cantilever brakes. Do not use any cantilever brake other than those
intended by the brake manufacturer to work with a hangerless brace. Do not route the
front brake cable and/or cable housing through the stem or any other mounts or cable
stops. Do not use a front brake cable leverage device mounted to the brace. Forks
designed for use with disc-style brakes: follow the brake manufacturer's installation
instruction for proper installation and mounting of the brake caliper.
7. Observe all owner's manual instructions for care and service of this product.
ROCKSHOX FORKS ARE DESIGNED FOR COMPETITIVE OFF-ROAD RIDING
AND DO NOT COME WITH THE PROPER REFLECTORS FOR ON-ROAD USE.
YOUR DEALER SHOULD INSTALL PROPER REFLECTORS TO MEET THE
CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION'S (CPSC) REQUIREMENTS FOR
BICYCLE STANDARDS IF THE FORK IS GOING TO BE USED ON PUBLIC ROADS
AT ANY TIME.
