RUDY XL Ultimate Race Day 2 700c Suspension Fork - A1

RockShox RUDY XL Ultimate Race Day 2 700c Suspension Fork - A1 is a purpose-built gravel suspension fork for riders pushing drop-bar bikes into rougher, faster terrain. With up to 60mm tunable travel, clearance for modern high-volume tires, and a notably stiff chassis, it adds front-end control and traction without turning a gravel bike into a slow, wallowy setup. The updated Charger Race Day 2 damper is tuned to stay supportive on fast sections and composed when surfaces get unpredictable—ideal for aggressive gravel, mixed-surface racing, and technical descents where precision matters.

Upgrade-focused highlights for hard-charging gravel

1. Charger Race Day 2 Damper - RockShox’s lightest performance-driven damper with two compression positions: Open for active tracking and a firm lockout for smooth climbs, sprints, and pavement transitions
2. Up to 60mm Short-Travel Suspension - Adds real compliance for washboard and embedded hits while keeping front-end geometry and handling sharp at speed
3. 2.25" (57mm) Tire Clearance - Supports wider 700c gravel tires for more grip, comfort, and capability on loose and chunky routes
4. Solo Air Spring (Short-Travel Tuned) - Simple setup and consistent feel, designed specifically to deliver usable support and sensitivity in gravel-appropriate travel ranges
5. Maxima Plush Dynamic Lower Leg Lube - Reduces friction to help the fork stay smoother ride after ride, improving small-bump compliance and control
6. Forged Hollow Aluminum Crown - Lightweight, durable structure that helps maintain steering precision when the fork is loaded hard in corners and rough sections
