The all-new KS Rage-i 2.0 evolves a proven platform with upgrades where it counts: on-bike tuning and optimized drop-to-length ratio, without losing its reputation for reliability and value.
Key Upgrades at a Glance:
- AIR PRESSURE TUNING VIA SCHRADER VALVE → adjustable return speed
- THREADED SEAL COLLAR → faster, easier servicing
- SELF-PURGING SYSTEM → eliminates sponginess and restores full-extension support.
- OPTIMIZED DROP-TO-LENGTH RATIO → more drop, better fit across frame sizes
Designed to handle demanding trail conditions with smooth, reliable performance, the Rage-i now gives riders something it never had before: adjustability. Thanks to the addition of a Schrader valve under the head, the internal air pressure is no longer fixed. Riders can now fine-tune the return speed of the post, dialing in the feel to match their preferences and terrain. What was once a sealed, non-adjustable system is now a tunable component.
Serviceability also takes a big leap forward. The threaded seal collar replaces the one-piece chassis, making maintenance significantly faster and more straightforward.
Another key improvement is its self-purging system: If air and oil become mixed during use, causing a temporary soft or spongy feel at full extension, the post can restore itself through a simple self-purging process. By cycling the post through its travel a few times by hand, normal performance is quickly recovered. No tools, disassembly or service required.
But the real game changer lies in its reworked proportions. By combining a reduced mast length with a shorter actuator, the new Rage-i delivers more drop relative to its total length. This means:
- Better fit in smaller or more constrained frames
- More usable travel for a given insertion depth
- Improved compatibility with modern bike geometries
In short, you get maximum drop efficiency without compromising fit.
- Designed for internal frame routing
- Cylindrical upper clamp nuts simplify installation
- More vertical head clamp bolt angle increases clamping force
- Dedicated cartridge architecture is reliable and smooth
- Lightweight, rotating bottom actuator, reduced actuation force
- Longer travel options
- Alloy stanchion
- Self-purging system
- Compatible with all KS remotes
- Remote sold separately
- Price level: $$$$$
