RockShox Charger Bladder Assembly

If you notice a loss of damping performance, inconsistent rebound, or if the fork feels 'mushy' despite proper air pressure, the bladder may be compromised. Visually inspecting the bladder for tears, stretching, or leaks during a damper service is the most reliable way to confirm it needs replacement.

No, this specific assembly is designed for the Pike (2014-2015), Lyrik (B1), Yari, BoXXer, and Domain Dual Crown models. Always verify your fork's specific model year and damper type before purchasing to ensure a correct fit.

If you are comfortable performing a full damper service and have the necessary suspension tools, you can install this yourself. However, because the damper requires precise bleeding to remove all air, it is a task best suited for experienced mechanics or those following the official RockShox service manual closely.

This product is the bladder assembly itself. While it is a direct factory replacement, it does not typically include the full seal kit for the entire damper unit. It is recommended to have a fresh seal kit on hand when performing this service to ensure a complete, leak-free rebuild.

The bladder acts as an expansion chamber for the damper oil as the fork compresses. If the bladder is damaged or loses its integrity, air can mix with the oil, leading to cavitation and a significant loss of damping control, which makes the fork feel unpredictable on the trail.
