NEW BoXXer
For nearly two decades the BoXXer has been on the top step of the downhill podium in World Cup races and freeride events more than any other fork. With such a legacy, it is undoubtedly the new BoXXer has already demonstrated with the World Cup Steve Smith's overall victory and Kyle Strait's Rampage victory in 2013. The new BoXXer features the new Damper ™ loader, new spring and air systems, Rapid Recovery ™ (which allows the fork to remain in the upper part of travel for better absorption of roughness), 27,5 ″ compatibility and stems with Fast Black finish. These changes have allowed a weight saving of about 100 grams, thanks above all to the adoption of the Charger Damper which now features a single register for compression and a rebound register for the initial part of the stroke.What's new

Damper ™ charger
Initially developed for the much-acclaimed RockShox Pike, the Damper ™ cartridge found its way onto the BlackBox athletes' bikes during the 2013 season. Simply put, the consistency, traction and bump sensitivity of the Charger Damper ™ was an instant hit with all of our riders, including World Champion Steve Smith.
This system also allows a saving of about 100gr compared to the previous configuration. Adjustment is easy and intuitive, with a single register for compression and a rebound register for the initial part of the stroke.
Consecutive impacts with standard suspension
1. The rwheel does not fully recover from the impact leaving a space between it and the earth.More energy in the impact is transferred to the rider's body.
Rapid Recovery™
1. Ground clearance is maintained, leaving more travel for each bump.
2. The rwheel maintains better contact with the ground.
3. Less energy is transferred to the rider increasing control by decreasing fatigue.
