I have a supelight with a sid xc fork. I want a new fork. What are the differences between a 80mm sid sl and a 80mm sid race other that the carbon and price?
Thanks.........Andy

They have the same air spring, damper and stansion. The only different with Race Carbon is the color, carbon crown and price. The difference with Race Ti is color, NiTi coated stansion and some Ti hardware. Base on the info provided by Nino from the German mag is that the Race Carbon is a little more flexy than the regular SL.
Hope helps.

what's the diff between a 2001 and 2002 sid sl?
longer bushings for improved stiffness,that`s it...nino

that`s the reason 02 forks are a bit heavier than 01 forks.you can retrofit 02 bushings into 01 lowers to get the same performance!
