Earlier this morning we published a quick news post about the new Rocky Mountain Blizzard, which featured a teaser of the new RockShox Bluto RL fat bike suspension fork. Now, we have official details on the fork!
Most interestingly, the Bluto will be available in 80, 100, and 120mm travel options. This will prove to be quite versatile, and will serve riders across a wide cross country/trail spectrum.
The Bluto also features a tapered steerer tube, 51mm offset, 15×150 Maxle Lite through axle, a Solo Air spring, and a crown or remote (PushLoc) compression to lockout rebound adjustment. The maximum tire size is 4.8in, and it’s available in Black, White (OE only), and Diffusion Black (OE only).
The target fork weight is 3.96lbs (1796g) with an MSRP of $643, or $711 with the bar-mounted remote lockout.

Kidding aside, will most suspended fatbikers be riding dirt or snow? Seems like with snow a rigid would work well enough.
