Three brands. Infinite ways to gravel.

The XPLR collection from SRAM, RockShox, and Zipp celebrates a new era of drop bar riding with three product sets to make gravel yours. Every upgrade works great by itself or all together. So pick a path, or mix and match galore. After all, gravel is what you make it.

  • Built for today's riders, XPLR components provide more comfort, control, and capability
  • Tackle rugged and variable terrain on a drop bar bike
  • Go ahead and take the long way home
  • Give gravel some travel

RockShox brings the party to gravel with a new fork and dropper post. Built from the ground up to gravel, the new Rudy XPLR features enough travel to keep your ride comfortably in control when curiosity takes you off the beaten path. Matched with the fresh Reverb AXS XPLR, RockShox have created a gravel specific design complete with built-in compliance to really open it up on new terrain.

RockShox brings the party to gravel with a new fork and dropper post.

The allure of the open gravel road might be paradise for adventurous riders, but it still comes with its own set of tiny speed bumps. With so many gravel riders getting off-road, it was only a matter of time before RockShox found their small-rock rhythm.

Put Rudy in the Game

Rudy XPLR is purpose-built for gravel. More grip. More control. Way more fun. Whether the gravel gets choppy, or the tarmac breaks up before you, Rudy shines when the road gets rough or the singletrack beckons.

Rudy saves your body from taking a beating, you’ll ride faster, for longer, and be less fatigued. It even steers better with more precise control ensuring the front wheel doesn’t deflect off sudden hits.

Charger Race Day Damper

The Charger Race Day damper is built to meet the needs of the world's fastest cross country racers. It's the lightest damper RockShox have ever made, packed with race-winning performance and efficiency. Tuned to provide even more efficiency for the gravel rider.

Smooth out the ride

Designed specifically for gravel and e-gravel bikes, RockShox's new Solo Air spring redefined the way a shorter travel fork can take the edge off the road ahead. This all-new design remains sensitive and smooth through small chatter and resists harsh bottom outs with bigger hits.

Put a fender/mudguard in front of you

To those who don't need a mudguard, we salute you. For riders who grind muddy roads all year long or need the occasional coverage, Rudy allows you to customise your mudguard needs to the region or season. Rudy offers full and short mudguard compatibility for those who need options.
