SR Suntour 2016 Products at Eurobike

SR Suntour At Eurobike

SR Suntour arguably have one of the biggest OEM businesses in the industry, not only do their forks adorn millions of bikes, they also focus on a high end direct to customer line up as well. Whilst this represents a very small part of their global business the team at SR Suntour see it as a key component to their brand. For 2016 the focus is on “Refined Simplicity” in other words well thought out products that perform to a high standard but are easy to maintain.

Updates to the popular Durolux and Rux forks include updated black stanchions, internals and easy access lubrication ports. Service intervals are set at 15 hours for a seal clean and lube and 50 hours for a full service. The Durolux enduro fork comes with an integrated mud guard, that simply bolts on. It’s a neat little addition to what is a substantial fork at an excellent price. Both the Rux and the Durolux have 26 and 27.5 wheel versions (35mm and 36mm stanchions respectively on the Durolux and 38mm stanchions on the Rux) and offer R2C2, RC2 damping cartridges with an additional RC version on the Durolux. The QLoc axle system comes as standard on the Durolux.

Lube ports make maintenance easy on both the Rux and Durolux.

The XC Axon Fork comes in 80 and 100mm options with 26, 27.5 and 29″ versions available, stanchions are 32mm and perhaps the coolest addition to this range is the kids fork, only available in carbon, making it light and perfect for little shredders! 80mm of travel and just 1500 grams seem to be an imposing proposition!

The Axon for big kids and little kids!

In terms of shocks, SR Suntour have a cool trick up their sleeve, quite literally! The new DuAir shock features different sized sleeves that screw on to increase and decrease the amount of volume in the shock. No need for spacers or a trip to the mechanics to dial in your shock to your weight. Just screw on the relevant sized sleeve to tune it accordingly.
