Rockshox Serial Number Year

Posted on 16-09-2021 by admin

RockShox TrailHead App is the starting point to get your suspension dialed in for the perfect ride. Tuning recommendations, upgrade information, and service support all in your hand, customized for your fork. The number after the T is the year of production which i believe could either be the same as the model year or the year previous to it. Ie; T10 could be model year 2010 or 2011 - both of which i think use the same oil volumes.

Rockshox Serial Number Year Identification

RockShox have just posted a Consumer Alert warning about the potential hazards of purchasing suspension forks with scratched off serial numbers.

Said forks will not be covered by any warranty. They may even be counterfeit products or even ‘Frankenstein’ forks made up of bits of several separate forks.

The number is the year of manufacture and the letter appears to be the month of manufacture. In the example, the 'F' indicates the sixth month, or June. Steve Mann reports a mid 70s SR seatpost which is marked with a date code of the form 76.9, where 76 is the year and 9 is either a fractional year or the ninth month of the year.
Serial number is 6, so assuming 09. Just bought a few bikes from a fleet change over so it was more to date the bikes, cheers Week 36 of 2009 production date, makes it a 2010 year model fork as far as spare parts and the year model of bike it came on.

RockShox Authentication Notice

SRAM has seen a considerable increase in RockShox branded suspension forks sold online with the product serial number scratched off of the fork crown.

Forks with scratched off serial numbers could be potentially dangerous to use and are not covered by the SRAM Warranty. Do not ride forks that have the product serial number scratched off.

RockShox forks with scratched off serial numbers are typically purchased from an unauthorized online retailer who is shipping directly from a factory. Without an identifiable product serial number, it is impossible to distinguish a genuine RockShox fork from a counterfeit reproduction. The counterfeit fork may look like a genuine RockShox product.
