Overview

RockShox ZEB Ultimate Flight Attendant: 150–180 mm 27.5" / 29" fork with 38mm aluminum stanchions, Charger 3.2 Flight Attendant W/ButterCup damper and LinearXL W/ButterCup spring, e-bike approved; MSRP €1965.

ZEB is RockShox's single-crown fork for the most extreme terrain, from steep double-black runs and freeride features to enduro racing. It is built around a 38 mm aluminium chassis with 150–180 mm of travel in 27.5" and 29" versions, 1.5" or 1.8" tapered steerers and 200–220 mm rotor compatibility, and RockShox lists it as e-bike approved.

The current generation introduces the LinearXL air spring, which RockShox describes as delivering a coil-like ride with end-stroke control, plus an integrated short fender mount. Ultimate models add ButterWagonTech bushing lubrication, ButterCups and the Charger 3.2 RC2 damper (or the automatic Flight Attendant version); Select+ uses Charger 3.2 RC2 and Select uses the Delta RC damper.

  • Flight Attendant automatic, wireless AXS-enabled suspension control
  • Flight Attendant Charger 3.2 damper with ButterCups
  • LinearXL air spring with Adjustable Bottom Out (ABO) for a coil-like, predictable feel
  • ButterWagonTech keeps oil supplied to the bushings to cut friction
  • Integrated short fender mount, fender included
