Rockshox Serial Number Year



Of the 2.2 million sold in the United States, RockShox Inc. Held 50 percent of the market. By the end of the fiscal year ending March 1996, the company's total revenue bounced back from the previous year's dismal showing, reaching $83.5 million, and the company posted a net income of $5.7 million. Time for service for both, my Reba and Domain. I know the procedure and which replacement parts to by but I need to know which year my fork was produced. I got the series numbers: 2 and 2, but I did not find a hint for the year. Can you help me to find out?

Rockshox serial number year is it
Including new ZEB and Rockshox 35 fork, plus different dampers and springs in detail

RockShox fork range

There are 15 different fork models in the RockShox range, with each of those coming in a number of different configurations with various dampers and spring options. To jump straight to the fork of your choice, hit the link below and if you want to find out about those dampers, skip down to the bottom of the article.

Rockshox ZEB


Following in the footsteps of competitor, Fox, RockShox has unveiled the ZEB. Using a similar 38mm stanchion the ZEB is built with stiffness at the forefront of its design. It's aimed at enduro riders who are looking for that bit extra to get them through the stage as quickly, and comfortably as possible.

Against a 180mm Lyrik in its 29' flavour, the ZEB promises to be 21.5% stiffer torsionally, 7% stiffer under side bending loads and 2% stiffer under for and aft loads. Inside, the fork gets the latest Charger 2.1 damper and DebonAir air spring. Unlike the rest of the RockShox range, the ZEB also gets an additional negative volume for an even more DH-esque feel. In line with the RockShox range, the new fork also gets Maxima Plush fluid paired with SKF wiper seals.

The ZEB is available in both 650b and 29' wheel sizes with 160, 170, 180, and 190mm travel options. You also get the choice of 38mm and 44mm offsets.

The ZEB Ultimate with that Charger 2.1 RC2 damper and a Debonair spring will cost £969 at full retail whilst the slightly lighter ZEB Select gets the Charger RC damper will set you back £779. There are also two E-MTB models, called just plain old ZEB and getting a Charger R damper, costing £779 and £759. ZEB Select+ forks are likely to be OEM only as seen with the 2020/21 Lyrik.

RockShox Pike


The Pike is RockShox go-to trail fork, using 35mm upper legs. Originally launched in 2013, it's seen a number of updates, most recently moving to Boost only hub spacing and gaining an updated Charger 2 sealed damping cartridge and a Debonair air spring. The Debonair spring uses a higher volume negative air spring to help reduce breakaway friction and hence improve sensitivity.

The Pike comes in 120mm, 130mm, 140mm, 150mm and 160mm travel options in both 27.5' and 29er wheel sizes, with clearance for up to 2.8' tyres as standard.

The basic Pike RC comes with external rebound and low-speed compression adjustment and it's not available for purchase aftermarket.

The Pike RCT3 gets an upgraded Charger 2 damper with three position compression setting from lock-pedal-open with low-speed compression adjustment in the open mode. The Pike RCT3 Dual Position Air uses the same damper as this fork, but it's possible to adjust travel down by up to 30mm on the fly.

The Pike Ultimate is a high-end version of the fork with a new Charger 2.1 damper, new low friction SKF seals and Maxima damping fluid to make things less sticky. The fork comes with either an RCT3 version of the damper with three position compression setting from lock-pedal-open with low-speed compression adjustment in the open mode and an RC2 version of the damper with high and low-speed compression damping adjustment as well as rebound. Both have foil graphics and a Gloss Silver Signature colour option.

Component Serial Numbers - SRAM

RockShox Lyrik


While the Lyrik might look similar to the Pike - it does share the same 35mm diameter upper legs - but it's made for much more aggressive riding, with a beefed up, stiffer and accordingly heavier chassis.

There are 150mm, 160mm, 170mm, 180mm travel options for both 27.5' and 29' wheels and the Debonair air spring system is used in the forks.

The Lyrik RC is the cheapest fork in the range, using a version of the Charger 2 damper that has external rebound and low-speed compression damping adjustment.

The Lyrik RCT3 adds in a three-position compression lever with open-pedal-locked modes and low-speed compression adjustment in the open mode. It's also available as the travel-adjustable Lyrik RCT3 Dual Position Air and there's one non-Boost spacing option here too - all the other forks are Boost only.

Rockshox Serial Number Year

The Lyrik RC2 uses a different version of the Charger 2 damper called the Charger 2 RC2. That offers high and low-speed external compression damping adjustment in addition to the rebound and it's aimed at serious enduro riders and racers that want to fine tune their fork to different tracks.

The Lyrik Ultimate is a high-end version of the fork with a new Charger 2.1 damper, new low friction SKF seals and Maxima damping fluid to make things less sticky. The fork comes with either an RCT3 version of the damper with three position compression setting from lock-pedal-open with low-speed compression adjustment in the open mode and an RC2 version of the damper with high and low-speed compression damping adjustment a 'BoXXer' Red Signature colour option.

RockShox Yari

The Yari is a more affordably priced version of the Lyrik, using the same chassis but less refined dampers across the range to keep the cost down. It comes in 150mm, 160mm, 170mm and 180mm travel options for both 27.5' and 29' and all but one fork in the range are Boost spaced.

The Yari RC is the entry to the range, using a Motion Control damper. Unlike the Charger dampers seen in more expensive units, this isn't a sealed damper - it's an emulsion damper where air and oil aren't separated from each other. It's got adjustable rebound and compression damping. There's a Dual Position Air option and non-Boost fork too.

The Yari Charger RC is the next fork in the range and it uses a version of the Charger damper that RockShox calls the Charger RC and describes as being 'cartridge-style' rather than a true sealed cartridge damper. It too has externally adjustable rebound and compression damping.

RockShox Revelation


As the Yari is the more affordable version of the Lyrik, the Revelation is to the Pike, with a 35mm legged chassis that's derived from it, though not exactly the same. It's offered in 120mm, 130mm, 140mm, 150mm and 160mm travels for 27.5' and 29' wheels, though there is one solitary fork available in 26'. All the forks get the Debonair air spring.

Rockshox Serial Number Year Is It

The Revelation RC Norinco 1911 serial number lookup number. uses the Motion Control damper with rebound and compression damping adjustment.

The Revelation Charger RC gets the more refined Charger RC cartridge-style, self-bleeding damper.

RockShox SID


The SID range is the all-out cross-country racing fork in the lineup. 2020 saw radical updates to the platform in the form of two SID forks, the SID and the SID SL.

SID SL is an out and out race fork, it gets 32mm stanchions, 100mm of travel, a 44mm offset, comes for 29ers only and interestingly has an alloy steerer rather than carbon with Rockshox saying they focused research on alloy crown/steerers first rather than carbon ones, potentially they will follow on we reckon. This fork weighs a claimed 1,326g.

There are two specs of SID SL fork, the Ultimate and the Select. The Ultimate gets the brands' new Race Day damper and a Debonair air spring. The new damper is said to be lighter and allow a solid 'lock-out'. The Debonair air spring is tuned to provide a higher ride height for increased confidence and control. The SID SL Select fork uses the same chassis but with a Charger RL damper. It's still a 100mm 29er fork with 32mm stanchions and a Debonair spring but it weighs in a t1468g and it's only available in black.


The second fork, the SID is a 120mm fork with 35mm stanchion, that's the same size at Revelations, Pikes and long travel forks like the Lyrik too. Rockshox says this new chassis is stronger and stiffer with just a little weight gain. The SID fork also comes in Ultimate or Select guise, the Ultimate gets the Charger Race Day damper, a Debonair spring and 44mm offset. Again the Ultimate comes in that electric blue colour as well as black, weighing in at 1,537g.

The SID Select fork, as you might have guessed already gets the Charger RL damper, only comes in black and weighs a claimed 1,671g

All SID forks get a new 'fender compatibility' as you see on Fox forks, with bolts inserted into the fork crown securing small mudguards. You might also be interested to know the Charger Race Day damper is backwards compatible with all 100-120mm SID and Reba forks all the way back to MY14.

RockShox RS-1

The RS-1 name harks back to the fork that started it all for RockShox but it's a very different animal to that early fork. It uses an upside-down design, where the slider stanchions are at the bottom of the fork, rather than the top.

It's also made from carbon fibre wrapped over an aluminium skeleton and it's for cross-country and light trail riding use. The fork comes in 100/120/130mm travel for 27.5' wheels and 100/120mm in 29'.

There are two models in the range and both are air sprung and use the sealed Charger 2 damper. The RS-1 RLC gets externally adjustable rebound plus a two-position open or lock mode lever with low-speed compression adjustment in the open mode.

The RS-1 RL has external rebound adjustment and two-position open or lock compression adjustment with a remotely mounted OneLoc lever to toggle between the two setting on the fly.

Both RS-1 forks require you to use a wheel with the oversize 'Predictive Steering' hub end caps.

Rockshox 35


These are relatively new in the Rockshox range and seem to be fitted to rather a lot of low end E-MTB's. There are three forks in the range, the 35 Silver R, the 35 Gold RL, the 35 Silver TK all offering travel between 100-160mm. The 35 Silver TK has a coil spring or a Solo Air air spring, steel sanctions and with the TurnKey (TK) - lockout feature. The 35 Silver R, the base model fork gets a coil spring and, again steel stanchions. The top fork, the 35 Gold RL has a DebonAir air spring and a Motion Control damper plus aluminium stanchions.

Jriver

RockShox Reba

The Reba is a more affordable cross-country and light trail riding fork, offering 100mm, 120mm, 130mm, 140mm and 150mm travel options in 26', 27.5' and 29' wheel sizes. It uses 32mm upper legs made from aluminium. It's available in both tapered and straight 1 1/8th steerer tubes.

The Reba RL is the only fork in the range and it uses a Motion Control damper with rebound and compression adjustment with a Solo Air spring.

RockShox Bluto

The Bluto is one of the very few dedicated fat bike suspension forks available. It's based on the 32mm legged Reba chassis, but stretched to accommodate super fat rubber on a 26' rim - up to 4.8' wide. It comes in 80mm, 100mm and 120mm travel with a Solo Air spring.

The Bluto RL gets rebound adjustment and compression adjustment to lockout while the Bluto RLT3 gets three pedal modes with low-speed compression adjustment in the open mode.

RockShox Judy


The Judy name is another blast from the past, but now it's designed as a low to mid-range fork that offers plenty of clearance for Plus tyres up to 2.8' wide, using Boost hub spacing to achieve this. It comes in either 100mm or 120mm of travel and 27.5' or 29' wheel sizes.

The Judy Gold is the higher spec model, with a Motion Control damper featuring rebound and low-speed compression adjustment to lockout. It uses a Solo Air spring and gets aluminium uppers only with a tapered steerer.

The Judy Silver is the entry-level model, with Turn Key damping that offers a lockout and rebound adjustment. Again, there's a Solo Air spring and it has a tapered aluminium steerer but the upper legs are made from heavier steel.

RockShox Sektor


The Sektor is the low to mid-range trail fork and there are two models in the range.

The Sektor RL is available in 27.5' and 29' and 100mm, 120mm, 130mm, 140mm and 150mm travel options. It gets a Motion Control RL damper with low-speed compression adjustment and lockout as well as rebound. It uses a Debonair air spring and 32mm upper legs made from aluminium. It's only available in Boost hub spacing and with a tapered steerer.

The Sektor Gold is a legacy fork only available in 26' and with 140mm or 150mm of travel. It uses the Turnkey damper and Solo Air, Dual Position Coil springs are available, as are tapered or straight steerers. It does not come in Boost spacing.

RockShox Recon


The Recon is designed as a cost-effective, high-value cross-country fork. It does not come with Boost spacing.

The Recon RL is the more advanced fork, coming in 27.5' and 29' versions at 100mm of travel. It uses the Motion Control damper with rebound and compression damping adjustment and the steel 32mm upper legs are black anodised. It's possible to get it with a bar mounted lockout remote and it's air sprung.

The Recon Silver TK is only available in 26' and 100mm travel and it uses the less advanced and adjustable Turnkey damping which offers external rebound adjustment and a lockout, plus an adjustable air spring.

RockShox 30

The 30 is a budget fork and as the name suggests, it uses relatively narrow 30mm diameter upper legs. It comes in 80mm, 100mm and 120mm travel and 27.5' and 29' wheel sizes.

The 30 Gold gets aluminium uppers and a Motion Control damper with rebound and low-speed compression to lockout adjustment and a Solo air spring. Straight and tapered steerers are available, as is a 26' model.

The entry-level 30 Silver has more basic Turn Key damping with a lockout and external rebound adjustment. A Solo Air model is available as is a cheaper and heavier coil sprung version. The upper legs are steel and there are three options of steerer tube - tapered aluminium, 1 1/8' straight aluminium and 1 1/8' straight steel.

The XC30 is technically a different model the other 30mm legged forks, but it's the cheapest proper off-road fork in the RockShox range. There's a Turnkey damper with fixed rebound but a lockout and the choice of air or coil springs, as are a pick of three steerer tube types.

Fork technologies

Charger 2 damper

This is RockShox current range-topping damper. It's a fully sealed unit that uses a bladder to keep the damping oil isolated from the air. It's available in different formats depending on the application, but the three main specs are the basic RC with adjustable rebound and low-speed compression to lockout, the RCT3 with three position compression setting from lock-pedal-open with low-speed compression adjustment in the open mode and the RC2 which gets high and low-speed adjustable compression damping plus rebound. The latter is only seen on dedicated gravity forks.

Charger 2.1 damper

This is an updated version of the Charger 2 damper seen on 'Ultimate' forks with some changes to the valving, such as less high-speed compression damping and more low-speed compression damping to make the fork sit up high in its travel.

There is also a new piston wear band inside the damper which is said to better manage oil flow, while a new rod seal from SKF is claimed to reduce friction by upwards of 30% at the rebound shaft.

It is available in RC2 and RCT3 versions, with the same differences in adjustment as the regular Charger range.

Bottomless Tokens

This is a term for volume spacers that can be added to the air spring of the fork to adjust how much progression there is - how much harder it becomes to move the fork as it goes deeper into the travel. Adding more makes the fork harder to bottom out under hard riding, having less means it's easier to achieve full travel for a given starting pressure.

To fit them, you need to take all the air out of the spring and then remove the top cap using the correctly sized spanner or splined cassette tool. You can put multiple tokens into a fork as they thread together and attach to the top cap. Different colour tokens fit different fork models.

  • Black bottomless tokens fit these Solo Air forks: RS-1 SID, Reba, Bluto, Revelation.
  • Grey bottomless tokens work with these Solo Air forks: Pike, Lyrik, Yari, Pike DJ, BoXXer.
  • Dark red bottomless tokens fit in these Dual Position Air forks: Pike, Lyrik, Yari.

Debonair spring

This is the premium air spring that RockShox offers. It uses a higher volume self-balancing negative air spring relative to the standard Solo Air design to offer reduced breakaway force for better small bump compliance and a more linear starting stroke.

Dual Position Air spring

This is an air spring that allows you to externally adjust the travel by up to 30mm, depending on the fork.

Motion Control

This is the mid-range damper and it comes in a few different formats. All are emulsion dampers, where the damping oil isn't separated from the air in the fork, which can lead to less precisely controlled damping when the two materials mix -become an emulsion - under more extreme use. Not having the damping oil under any positive pressure - as it is in a sealed damper - can lead to loss of damping control due to cavitation as well, though this is rare.

Sag gradients

RockShox is the only company to anodise sag markers onto their fork legs to ease setup. All of their forks - except budget ones - have this feature. Very welcome it is too.

Solo Air spring

This is the standard air spring seen on RockShox forks. It's called Solo air because you only need to add air to a single valve and the spring will equalise the negative chamber by itself. At one point, they had a Dual Air spring that required you to do this via a second valve, hence the name.

Turn Key damper

This is the most simple and hence affordable damper seen on RockShox forks. It's a basic emulsion damper.

Posted: Aug 9, 2018 at 2:50 Quote
2007 - 2008 maybe, but like cobba mentioned, serial number will help narrow down the year of manufacture.
Posted: Aug 9, 2018 at 8:12 Quote
The fact that it's 32mm and a Pike 454 tells you everything you need to know for servicing. Go match up the decals with the service manuals on the RockShox site and you are all set.
The first number after the T in the serial number is the last digit of the year it was built. '8' on that fork would be 2008 as there haven't been any 35mm chassis Pike forks before 2014 serials..

It's probably on that sticker on the steering tube, with more recent models, it will be on the back of the crown.
