There is no denying it – For a long time the RockShox BoXXer has been the weapon of choice for many top level downhill racers. Since 1996, when the first prototype BoXXer was introduced, many small refinements have been made to this world class fork. Thanks in part to the feedback gathered from their team riders – over the years RockShox has been able to satisfy the needs of not only their top World Cup racers, but also the privateer racer who’s looking for a light, affordable and serviceable race fork.

It's been pretty dry on the new product front. All 2005 products were unveiled at Interbike in early October - and many of those new goodies will only be available later this year. I’m expecting a few new toys by the end of the year, so keep checking back.
