Just last year, Rockshox overhauled all of their forks with improved seals, grease and other refinements to reduce friction and make everything smoother. Now, the DebonAir air spring gets a rework, helping the forks sit higher in their travel so that you get more useable travel. As a bonus, setup should be a lot easier now, too.
More or less, when the fork was sagged, the piston would pass over the dimple frequently and maintain equal-ish air pressure between the two chambers…at sag height.For starters, when you’re setting up the fork, you have to compress it a few times to get it to equalize the negative chamber. Which means you have to overinflate the positive chamber, remove the pump, compress it, reattach the pump and adjust the pressure. Keep doing that until it ends up where you want it.
Unfortunately, it made it virtually impossible for Rockshox to control the spring rate for that first bit of travel because the pressure wouldn’t change in a predictable manner. So, they moved the piston higher to sit level with the dimple at top out. The Air Shaft is what holds the piston and slides through the Seal Head. The Seal Head is what seals off the bottom of the stanchion to create an airtight chamber for your air spring. The Foot Nut is what attaches the assembly to the fork’s lowers. That bolt on the bottom of your fork leg? It threads into the Foot Nut.2020 DebonAir spring on the left, 2021 on the right. These are for the Lyrik/Yari forks, denoted by the black Piston.
