Fork Parts & Accessories

Check your fork's model and chassis size, since compatibility is tied to stanchion diameter and travel. For example, RockShox Pike and Lyrik forks require parts matched to 35mm or 38mm stanchions and travel lengths from about 120mm to 170mm when selecting seals, springs, or damper kits.

If you ride aggressive enduro or downhill, upgrading to a damper like the Charger 3.1 RC2 can add mid-stroke support and finer tuning. The improved high/low-speed compression and up to 20 clicks of adjustment help control big hits and keep the bike stable on technical descents.

Running 4–6 air spring tokens is a common starting point to add mid-stroke progression without making the fork harsh on small bumps. Pairing that with RockShox's Butter Cup air spring can also boost small-bump sensitivity and reduce vibration by roughly 20%.

A high-pressure fork and shock pump that reaches up to 300psi lets you dial in air pressure precisely for different conditions and rider weights. Those pumps are built to work in all conditions, making them ideal for tuning air-spring setups and fine-tuning sag.

Most rebuildable fork designs can withstand 500+ hours of abuse before a full teardown, but you should inspect seals and oil regularly for contamination or leaks. Service kits from brands like Cane Creek simplify replacing thermoplastic or Viton rubber seals and other internals when performance starts to drop.
