2024 RockShox Flight Attendant Review | The New Performance Benchmark In The World Of XC

See the full review here: https://flowmountainbike.com/tests/ro...

RockShox Flight Attendant first arrived in 2021 as a high tech, fully automated electronic suspension system. As the long-awaited response to Fox Live Valve, the first iteration of Flight Attendant was primarily targeted at longer travel trail and enduro bikes. However, given the system’s obvious efficiency advantages, we knew it would only be a matter of time before RockShox would bring this tech to the XC racing world.

In 2023 we finally received a clue, with prototype Flight Attendant forks and shocks appearing on the bikes of numerous World Cup racers including Loana Lecomte and Nino Schurter. Having since been proven at the highest level of the sport, RockShox Flight Attendant XC is now finally ready for its public debut.

We’ve been riding the system over the past couple of months on the new Specialized Epic, and here we’ll be diving into all of the technical details behind Flight Attendant XC. I’ll be discussing what’s new, how it works on the trail, and why we think this is the new performance benchmark in the world of XC racing.
