PRESS RELEASE: XFUSION Shox
Meet the RV1 38: the next evolution in downhill suspension from XFUSION. Over the past year, it’s been tested and pushed to the limit
by riders like Adolf Silva and Tom van Steenbergen, including on the biggest stage at Red Bull Rampage 2024.
For the official launch, Adolf Silva put the RV1 through its paces on his home trails in Spain. He hit steep lines, big jumps, and raw terrain,
giving the fork a proper workout. The result is a fast, no-filter look at the RV1 in action, showing off its control, support, and composure
when things get wild.

Engineered for Control
At the heart of the RV1 38 is our new Finecut HLR damper, a fully sealed IFP cartridge that delivers consistent damping through long
descents, repeated hits, and rough terrain. It offers full adjustability with high and low-speed compression and rebound, giving riders the
control to fine-tune performance for any track or riding style.
Strength Meets Versatility
The RV1 is built around 38mm aluminum stanchions and a stiff dual crown chassis with 200mm of air-sprung travel for
maximum support and sensitivity. Designed to handle both 29-inch and 27.5-inch wheels, it offers setup versatility for riders
who demand confidence and precision, whether racing, freeriding, or building a custom mullet rig.
Neutra Valves and Nvolve Seals
To maintain consistency across elevation and temperature changes, Neutra Valves release internal pressure buildup. Nvolve
wiper seals reduce friction and boost long-term durability, keeping performance smooth in even the harshest riding conditions.
Purpose-Built for Control at Speed
With offset options of 46mm or 56mm, a bolt-on Boost 110x20mm axle, and a balanced axle-to-crown height of 610mm,
the RV1 is engineered for downhill speed and control. Whether you're charging bike park laps, racing against the clock,
or dropping into freeride lines, it delivers the precision, support, and confidence you need when things get rough.
