Product news / MTB: In future, owners of selected (e-)mountain bikes will have the option of retrofitting the exclusive RockShox Flight Attendant suspension with an upgrade kit. So the noble electric chassis is not only reserved for buyers of complete bikes.
A little over a year ago, US manufacturer RockShox presented its Flight Attendant chassis: proven top chassis components were equipped with electronic control units and numerous sensors. The suspension fork and damper adapt to the requirements depending on factors such as surface, speed, incline, etc. - "on the fly"! Due to the close integration into the overall bicycle system, the Rockshox Flight Attendant components were previously reserved for buyers of appropriately equipped complete bikes. With the appropriate upgrade kits, that will change in the future, at least for the owners of a few selected mountain bikes.

If you own one of these bikes, you can treat yourself to a noble and quite expensive chassis upgrade with the Flight Attendant Upgrade Kit. Depending on the bike, the set costs around 3.000 euros - for that you get a complete package consisting of a top fork and shock absorber, the corresponding accessories, the batteries and a pedaling sensor. The regular Sram AXS controller can be used for control.
