RockShox Rudy Ultimate XPLR Race Day 2 Suspension Fork 700c 40mm 12x100mm TA Tapered 51mm Gloss Black
Reference Number: 5DV4DQ
Experience unmatched gravel performance with the RockShox Rudy Ultimate XPLR A2 Suspension Fork, engineered for 700c gravel bikes seeking durability, precision, and versatility. This high-performance gravel fork seamlessly blends advanced materials, innovative technology, and sleek style to elevate your riding on rugged terrain or long-distance adventures.
Materials & Engineering Excellence
Crafted with a machined and anodized aluminum crown, the Rudy Ultimate XPLR combines lightweight durability with corrosion resistance. The magnesium lower tubes further reduce weight without sacrificing strength, ensuring a responsive ride. The aluminum steerer tube offers customizable compatibility with tapered steerers (1-1/8" to 1.5") for enhanced steering precision and stability.
Advanced Components & Technology
At its core, the Rudy XPLR features RockShox's proprietary Charger Race Day 2 Damper, the lightest performance damper designed for gravel and adventure riding. Its external low-speed compression and rebound damping adjustments allow riders to fine-tune performance for varying trail conditions. The Solo Air spring setup provides a customizable, consistent ride, optimized for short travel (40mm) and tire widths up to 50mm, accommodating 700x50 tires for maximum traction and comfort over rough terrain.
Innovative Maxima Plush Dynamic Lower Leg Lube reduces friction, delivering smoother response and increased damper durability, ensuring you stay in control mile after mile.
Performance & Use Case
Designed specifically for gravel riders demanding control and comfort, the Rudy Ultimate XPLR excels in stability during high-speed descents, confidence-inspiring steering, and shock absorption on uneven surfaces. Its 51mm offset enhances handling dynamics, making it perfect for aggressive gravel riding, bikepacking, or mixed-terrain adventures. Full or short fender compatibility extends its versatility, with included fender hardware and optional stealth stay bosses for full fender mounting.
Style & Practical Features
Styled in sleek Gloss Black, the Rudy XPLR complements any gravel bike aesthetic. The 12mm thru-axle with 100mm spacing ensures secure wheel mounts for reliable performance. Equipped with a post mount 160mm brake interface and compatible with disc rotors up to 180mm, it provides powerful braking control in all conditions. The rugged yet lightweight design makes it an ideal upgrade for riders seeking professional-grade suspension without added weight.
