SRAM & RockShox Just Dropped New DH Tech! | First Ride Review

How good are the new MY27 SRAM and RockShox downhill components on real trails? We headed to Queenstown, New Zealand to dive deep into the latest RockShox and SRAM DH tech with the people who helped create it, then put it to the test on some incredible downhill trails. From the new RockShox Boxxer and Vivid Coil to the updated SRAM Maven B1 brakes and XX DH Transmission 7-speed drivetrain, there’s a lot to cover. If you want to know what’s changed, what matters, and how this new downhill kit actually rides, this one is for you.
