Ashley Kalym, Founder of Rock Sled Suspension, gives us some insight into the what, how, and why of the long-travel fork he has been developing…
are some more recent examples of brands looking to overcome aforementioned biding issues suffered by the bushings in a telescopic fork under flex, as well as some other characteristics they see as detrimental to performance.While Motion and Trust developed proprietary dampers for their linkage forks, Adroit and Structure’s designs use off-the-shelf air shocks and thus benefit from their wide range of external adjustments.
Where the Rock Sled Fork does differ significantly from a telescopic fork, is in ground clearance. As it compresses, the fork legs are pushed down toward the ground. Ashley says that, with a 29″ front wheel, the ground clearance at bottom-out is 209mm . Despite that, he says he hasn’t found any issues with it on the trail.
Ashley pairs the Nicolai G16’s 155mm rear wheel travel with a 180mm version of the Rock Sled Leading Linkage Fork
