RockShox’s latest fork lines will be appearing in shops any time now. Starting at the inexpensive end, the new Tora replaces the budget Pilot fork. The Pilot wasn’t anything to write home about, but the Tora looks pretty decent, on paper at least. It’s considerably beefier than its predecessor, with 32mm chromoly stanchions, more material in the crown and stiffer lowers. There’ll be four Tora models, with RockShox ditching its XC/SL/Race/etc designations in favour of numbers. The base Tora is the 302, featuring simple damping with external rebound control. The slightly posher one is the 318 which has the same Motion Control damping system as found on the popular Reba and Pike forks. No, we can’t immediately discern any underlying logic to the choice of numbers - if anyone figures it out, please let us know.
