General

  • What information is Flight Attendant using to make decisions? plus icon minus icon
  • Flight Attendant analyzes data from sensors in the fork, rear shock, and crank to adjust each component into the three suspension positions (Open, Pedal, and Lock) to suit the terrain and rider needs. See more
  • How fast do the Flight Attendant sensors open the damping? And how long does it take to lock the damper out? plus icon minus icon
  • With the combination of sensors and the Flight Attendant algorithm, we feel there is much more to Flight Attendant than speed alone. However, if we are looking at raw data, the system analyzes terr... See more
  • Does Flight Attendant learn from my riding style and adjust its behavior? plus icon minus icon
  • Flight Attendant does not learn from the given rider’s style, rather, it is an algorithm developed over hundreds of thousands of trail miles around the world. This algorithm is continually evolving... See more
  • How does the Flight Attendant algorithm prioritize the different inputs to control damping for the best riding experience? plus icon minus icon
  • Flight Attendant’s algorithm is highly sophisticated and born from thousands of hours of rider input and data analysis. The system utilizes data from all sensors to paint a picture of the terrain a... See more
  • What’s the difference between Flight Attendant and other electronically-controlled suspension? plus icon minus icon
  • Flight Attendant is predictive; it adjusts damping based on input from the rider and the terrain. Wireless integration of Flight Attendant components means a cleaner, quieter bike and ride experien... See more
  • How significant is the Flight Attendant pedal sensor in terms of data input? plus icon minus icon
  • The pedal sensor gathers data from the rider and is the key component to the human part of the Flight Attendant system. The pedal sensor is why Flight Attendant is predictive rather than reactive, ... See more
  • Will Flight Attendant make my bike more efficient? plus icon minus icon
  • Flight Attendant’s “Auto Mode” is designed to maximize rider efficiency. In Auto Mode, Flight Attendant adapts as you go, adjusting the fork and rear shock between Open, Pedal, and Lock compression... See more
  • Can Flight Attendant components analyze my ride data to help me become a better rider? plus icon minus icon
  • Flight Attendant uses data input to manage the damping positions between Open, Pedal, and Lock. It does not provide data to deliver recommendations on initial setup or a rider’s performance. See more
  • Does the lockout force vary across the Flight Attendant fork offerings (Pike to ZEB)? plus icon minus icon
  • All Flight Attendant fork models (Pike Ultimate, Lyrik Ultimate, and ZEB Ultimate) have the same lockout force; they are tuned to have a firmer lockout than Charger 2.1 RCT3, but a softer lockout t... See more
  • Is the Flight Attendant compression damping adjustment range the same as Charger 2.1 RC2? How does it differ? plus icon minus icon
  • The Flight Attendant fork damper is similar to RCT3 in that it offers three suspension positions: Open, Pedal, and Lock. The damping adjustment range across rebound and low-speed compression is sim... See more
  • Does Flight Attendant optimize rebound damping on trail? plus icon minus icon
  • Flight Attendant does not make any adjustments to the rebound damping; however, rebound can be manually adjusted on the bottom of the lower leg. From Turtle to Jackalope, RockShox’s wide rebound ad... See more
  • Are Flight Attendant parts waterproof? plus icon minus icon
  • All AXS components are completely water and dust proof to the IPX7 international standard. Initially developed for construction vehicles and food sanitization, the IPX7 standard validates systems t... See more
  • How do the Flight Attendant parts communicate to one another? plus icon minus icon
  • Each component is a part of the SRAM AXS Ecosystem, which can connect to one another using our proprietary encryption wireless network. See more
  • How does Flight Attendant interact with the SRAM AXS mobile app? plus icon minus icon
  • Flight Attendant is an integrated part of the AXS Ecosystem. Use the SRAM AXS mobile app to adjust settings for the entire AXS system, Flight Attendant included. Control, personalize, and monitor c... See more
  • Can I use Flight Attendant with a non-SRAM drivetrain equipped mountain bike? plus icon minus icon
  • Flight Attendant components can be used with another drivetrain system. However, complete bikes will all be sold with a full AXS drivetrain. Aftermarket Flight Attendant upgrade kits will be availa... See more
  • Which RockShox models are a part of the Flight Attendant offering? plus icon minus icon
  • Fork options are: Pike Ultimate Flight Attendant, Lyrik Ultimate Flight Attendant, and ZEB Ultimate Flight Attendant. The rear shock option is Super Deluxe Ultimate Flight Attendant. See more
  • Are Flight Attendant-specific DUB cranks offered in different lengths or models? plus icon minus icon
