RockShox Futuristic Flight Attendant suspension is already winning the world's biggest races. But how easy is it to fit, what are the details of the tech behind it, and should you have it on your shopping list? I built up a new Santa Cruz Blur in my workshop with Alex from RockShox

Glad you mentioned the grips 😂, I have a 2024 Blur XC and have the sram grip that has a lock out and it’s so uncomfortable for someone with large hands 🙌. They need other options. Now I’m trying to find gloves with different padding. Smh

Interesting. I’m very keen to try Ohlins on the Epic Evo

Thanks for the video! I have a Blur with 100mm RS mechanical suspension. Do you think 120/115 Flight Attendant will be just as efficient?

Couple of questions. Does it work with any power meter? The list of bikes you had , is that just production bikes that will have flight attendant? Is the spark a upgrade only?

Radio controlled planes have been doing this for years - called a PID loop and how planes fly smooth in all conditions - the 'AI' just sounds like an always on autotune.

Seems like the flight attendant is a shock with a built in shock wiz. But maybe more advanced!!

@GuyKesTV 5 ай бұрын

Similar tech but the other way on. Wiz tells you what to do with your shock, FA tells you to stop touching it and let it do the thinking 🤣

@petercook7502 5 ай бұрын

Not really the same at all. Shockwiz just helped you with general setup (mainly air pressure) for the type of riding you do leaving you to change lockout and damper settings as you were riding. Flight attendant attempts to make all those settings for you as you ride based on inputs from its sensors, you still need to set the air pressure.

4:40 the guy said that this is the whole new generation step ahead from the trail version. Doesnt that fix firmware update ? Iam looking for FA Pike so now i am a bit worried that its kind of an out dated thing, isnt it ? @guykestv

@GuyKesTV 5 ай бұрын

No, as long as you run a power meter you’ll get all the same functionality 👍🏻

Any reason why this setup wouldn’t work with the Cervélo ZFS-5? Considering buying a 120 spec frame and going that route.

@GuyKesTV 5 ай бұрын

No, the Blur kit will work perfectly. TBH I might switch this kit onto my ZFS as I prefer the geo on the Cervelo

If you do please post an update. Thanks

OK, in 20 years you just need to sit on your bike and tell it where to go. And it will do the rest. It will be like a self driving Tesla. You can go to work wearing your suit, and eat your breakfast while heading to work. You will have to go to some old fashioned bike in the evening to get some exercise.

Haha yeah, before I started doing this for a living I was riding round on a rigid steel singlespeed because I broke my Gripshift and couldn’t afford to replace it 🤣
