RockShox ZEB Select 27.5" Suspension Fork B1

The RockShox ZEB Select 27.5" Suspension Fork B1 brings RockShox's enduro and gravity fork down to a more accessible price point without changing what the ZEB platform is built for: steep, technical descents and the hard hits that come with freeride-style terrain. Travel is adjustable from 150mm to 180mm with a 44mm offset on 27.5" wheels, and it shares the Ultimate-level ZEB's LinearXL air spring for a coil-like feel that stays supple off the top and supportive through the mid-stroke. Rather than the externally Adjustable Bottom Out found on the Ultimate, the Select runs a fixed bottom-out system, so end-stroke support is set at the factory instead of tuned trailside.

Damping comes from the Delta RC damper, with straightforward independent compression and rebound adjusters at the crown that are easy to set and just as easy to explain to a shop. Low-grab SKF wiper seals keep the fork running smoothly between services, and Maxima 920 suspension fluid helps cut down on overall friction. The chassis uses 38mm aluminum upper tubes and a 15x110mm Boost thru-axle, clears tires up to 74.5mm wide, runs rotors from 200mm to 220mm, and comes with a short integrated fender. It's a straightforward way into ZEB's descending capability for riders who don't need the Ultimate's extra tuning range, available in Gloss Black.
