Front Suspension: WP XACT 35 Upside-Down Fork

The SX-E 5 is equipped with a WP XACT 35 upside-down fork. Upside-down (USD) forks place the larger-diameter tube at the top, helping reduce flex under braking and in rough sections. The goal is a more planted front end when the pace picks up.

Setup tips to discuss in-store
  • Rider comfort and confidence over small bumps
  • Front-end stability entering corners
  • Balancing front feel with rear ride height

If you’re unsure where to start, bring the rider’s gear weight and typical track conditions—our team can help you think through a baseline.

Rear Suspension: Shock & Balance

Rear suspension is where traction and drive come together. A well-balanced rear end helps the bike track straight through chop, stay composed on landings, and keep the rider from feeling “kicked” forward when the track gets rough.

What riders notice most
  • Rear tire hookup exiting corners
  • Stability on jump faces and landings
  • How the bike settles after impacts

A small change in rear balance can transform cornering. If the front feels vague or the rear feels harsh, it’s often a balance issue—not just one end of the bike.

Chassis & Frame: The Foundation of Feel

The chassis ties everything together—steering precision, straight-line stability, and how predictable the bike feels when the rider is learning new speeds and new terrain. The SX-E 5 chassis and frame details shown below highlight the core structure that supports the suspension components.

Wheels & Brakes: Control You Can Trust

Wheels and brakes are a big part of how stable and predictable a bike feels—especially for developing riders. Consistent braking and a true, well-maintained wheel set help the suspension do its job and keep steering inputs clean.
