We’ve yet to ride any of this new SID stuff so you’ll have to make do, like us, with some words and piccies from RockShox.

The New RockShox SID Collection

NEW Bolt-in torque cap adapters included for use with standard hub end-caps.

Hmm SRAM have finally worked out torque caps are a PITA!

I wonder if the torque cap adapters will be able to be used on the ‘old’ SIDs? Getting my front wheel in can be a chore sometimes.

It’s all well and good them talking about their super new lube in the forks, I’d just have been happy to have any lube in the lowers in my current SID SL forks. They really need to sort out their QC.

It’s a shame they’ve stuck with the Gripshift style Twistloc for the new range, I was hoping they’d have came up with something compatible with the AXS system so we could have wireless lockouts.

The Torque Cap adapters come with the 23 Lyrik. They work. Sure there are a few companies doing stick on ones also

If you have DTSwiss hubs you can buy the Torque cap adapters if that helps?

I am not a fan of the twistlock and found it a PITA to use, or rather not use plus F’s up any grip choice you might want, big no from me.

Yeah like @crossed I hope they sort out the lube issue. I’ve got two pairs of SIDs on current bikes and both were very very lacking.

New models do look nice though!

The claims of ‘stronger than ever’ and ‘increased durability’ – they’d set themselves a pretty low bar.

‘Bushings are fully engaged’ – they weren’t on the last iteration. A fix that shouldn’t have been a problem in the first place.

“The XC fork for champions and contenders”.  Ah well that rules me out then!
