ive just ordered one for my scalpel se so should be a great match. looking forward to it. Great review btw.

[@Amadeus2231]

It seems like every channel that test the new SID products are all using the Mondraker F-podium

[@Cylcopath_GR]

If you take a previous sid 100mm with carbon steerer and add the new small damper.will you have the lightest fork from rockshox?

[@richardjensen3655]

No adjustable compression...on an XC fork? Sorry folks, could not pass up the Axon Werx-F, same weight, 17 low-speed clicks.

[@b09d4n]

Can you attach any lockout or only RockShox Twistlock?

[@dylanyoung3911]

I ordered one for my 27.5+ Santa Cruz Chameleon hoping it will fit the 2.8 Maxxis. Mainly because my secondary color is blue and forks are hard to come by right now. Any idea the internal width for tire fitment? It says it's boost size but all online measurements I find say max 2.6 width tire. I'm prepared to make my bike a mulligan with 29 front 27.5+ rear if I need to.

Mullet, a mulligan is a Micky Fin

[@maxMax-ns9pg]

Is the SID SL torque cap compatible?

[@There_N_back_Again]

What's the max tire width?

[@stewbomb5]

What Aspen tire is that? It looks massive!

[@aldensmith1802]

2.4

[@kuyajayyoutubechannel6327]

So which is better Sid sl or fox step cast 32

[@richardjensen3655]

If you don't mind a 2.3 or 2.4 max tire width, the fox for sure because it has adjustable compression ---- so important for XC riding

[@larrybarrunvlogs2796]

i have also same fork

[@coldforgedcowboy]

@Mountain Bike Rider... No don't say down country, if mountain bikes get any heavier, we are going to need electric motors to get them up the hill!

[@MBRmagazine]

Sorry - it left a bitter aftertaste!

[@gweflj]

Great review as usual. Amazed you liked it so much. I want one, just need to find the $ for a Unno Horn to put it on...

[@MBRmagazine]

Did you recognise the location for the riding?

[@gweflj]

@@MBRmagazine No I don't! GoPro effect I guess. Looks fun though.

[@MBRmagazine]

Tunnel!
