Before the Rio Olympics, the RockShox SID claimed a gold medal in every Olympics since 2000, which represents an impressive 12-year run for this fork. The latest SID forks are focused exclusively on XC and offered in 80mm and 100mm configurations. As such, the SID is lightweight (just 1366g for the World Cup version) and extremely laterally stiff.

The high-end World Cup SID features a carbon fiber crown and sells for north of $1,200 USD, while the RLT is the more affordable version at $765.
