It is now incorporated into the American Sram company, covering entry-level to professional competition-level products as well as various models such as XC, all-terrain, dirt slope, and downhill. Rockshox shock absorbers have excellent performance and have a large number of users, and are frequent participants in professional competitions. Bescat personally prefers the stable and soft shock absorption feeling of Rockshox forks.
