I have put this here and in the suspension forum, sorry for the duplicate post...bought a shock and the S/N pulls the product up as Model ID:FS-SIDS-BNSE-C1.
Great right? except I cant find any info on that fork...also there isn't any tiuning info for it on the website or the RockShox app. Its a SiD SL, with a BRAIN damper. I think its a takoeoff from a Stumpjumper? Its not the SiD SL Ultimate BRAIN, and its not any of the other models...maybe its a lower end SiD BRAIN fork for OEM? A SiD SL Select with a BRAIN damper put in? The Ultimate has the Carbon bits to make it even lighter...so maybe its the aluminum body with the BRAIN damper? If thats what it is..should I tune it like the SiD Ultimate BRAIN because the only difference should be the slightly lower weight?

Here is what the RockShox site says...Note the tuning tab is greyed out.

OK...just found the fork...its a Takeoff from an Epic Pro. Its listed as SiD SL Brain, not the ultimate. I'm betting its the all aluminum fork with the brain damper. Any downside to this?

All the current generation sids are aluminium. They are lighter than the old carbon versions. The ultimate has more machined crown than other models and therefore its lighter. Also only the ultimate model has SKF low frictions dust seals from the factory.

If weight is any issue, the brain damper weight multiple times more than any rockshox own damper…

I have been reading that. Seems like alot of people swap out the brain for the race day damper.
