‘The Whole Enchilada’ for RS-1

The iconic RS-1 features a unique upside down fork design, which combines steerer tube, crown and legs into a single carbon chassis. Within the heart of the RS-1, lives the Accelerator – a sealed damper that sits flipped in relation to most forks. Manticore’s comprehensive Accelerator service addresses not just the Accelerator but all the major internal wear points of this special fork.

  • Removal of lower legs for cleaning
  • Replacement of main fork seals/wipers

RECOMMENDED SERVICE INTERVAL
200 hours
Rock Shox suggests that RS-1 forks equipped with Accelerator dampers receive service every 200 hours of riding to restore small bump sensitivity and damping performance.
