RockShox Bottomless Tokens for Pike, Zeb, and Boxxer Mountain Bike Forks
RockShox Bottomless Tokens allow you to fine-tune the air-spring curve of your Pike, Zeb, or Boxxer mountain bike fork to match your riding style and terrain. With the tokens installed, the air-spring curve is reduced, which makes the fork more responsive to small bumps and increases the amount of air-spring compression.
1. Introduction to RockShox Bottomless Tokens
RockShox's Bottomless Tokens are a new feature for their suspension products. They're designed to change the feel of the suspension, allowing the rider to customize it to their liking. There are three different tokens, each with a different effect on the suspension.
The tokens are inserted into the air chamber of the shock, and they can be added or removed to change the feel of the suspension. The tokens can be used to make the suspension feel more responsive, smoother, or more supportive.
Bottomless Tokens are a great way to customize the feel of your suspension, and they're a feature that RockShox is proud to offer.
2. Installing RockShox Bottomless Tokens
RockShox provides a handy guide on how to install their Bottomless Tokens, which can be found on their website. The process is simple, and only requires a few basic tools.
First, remove the air cap and valve core from the shock. Then, use a 5.5mm hex key to remove the bolt that holds the token in place. Be sure to hold onto the token, as it will fall out when the bolt is removed.
Insert the new token into the shock, and re-insert the bolt. Tighten the bolt to 6.5 Nm. Finally, re-install the air cap and valve core.
Bottomless Tokens are a great way to customize the feel of your RockShox shock. They can be used to adjust the air spring curve, and to fine-tune the amount of sag. They are also a great way to reduce friction and improve ride quality.
3. Benefits of RockShox Bottomless Tokens
RockShox Bottomless Tokens provide riders with a sense of security and stability when landing jumps and drops. By reducing the air pressure in the shock, Bottomless Tokens create a wider “air spring window”. This means that the shock can be tuned to be more responsive and sensitive to small bumps, without sacrificing the support and stability needed for big hits. Riders can use Bottomless Tokens to fine-tune their suspension for the terrain and conditions they are riding in, ensuring that they always have the best possible ride.
