With a completely new layout and up to 250 mm of travel, the new RockShox Reverb AXS does almost everything differently than its predecessor: RockShox has rotated and repositioned the battery downwards and forwards to better protect it from dirt and debris. A new air-over-air design makes the dropper post even more robust and durable, ensuring a pleasant service interval of 300 hours without the need for special tools.
Last but not least, the "Active Ride" feature provides a free dose of suspension comfort — especially useful on technical climbs — when the Reverb is not fully extended.
The new wireless dropper post is available with travel ranging from 100 to 250 mm and in the usual diameters of 30.9, 31.6, and 34.9 mm.
RockShox was founded in 1989 in North Carolina by Paul Turner and Steve Simons. The two were looking for a solution to adapt suspension technology, by then already established in motocross, for use on bicycles. They brought Greg Herbold on board as a test rider and company spokesman, who had just become downhill world champion with one of the first suspension forks for mountain bikes. From then on, they launched the RS-1, the first mass-produced suspension fork for MTBs, and since then it has been impossible to imagine the scene without it. Over time, the range has expanded to include shocks, dampers and seatposts. Thanks to the merger with industry giant SRAM in 2002, shock and suspension systems can be perfectly matched with drivetrain components. This makes it possible to create a network of various AXS-compatible components on your bike via a central control unit.
