1.     BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
ROCKSHOX,  INC.  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to
Form  10-Q  and  Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include
all  the  information  and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion
of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of normal recurring adjustments)
considered  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  have  been included.  Certain
amounts  in  the  fiscal  2000  financial  statements  have been reclassified to
conform  with  fiscal  2001 presentation.  Operating results for the three-month
period  ended  June  30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may  be  expected  for  the year ending March 31, 2001.  The unaudited condensed
consolidated  interim  financial  statements  contained herein should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for
the  year ended March 31, 2000 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.   The
balance  sheet  at March 31, 2000 was derived from audited financial statements,
but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.   Unless the context indicates otherwise, when we
refer  to  "we,"  "us," the "Company" or  "RockShox" in this Quarterly Report on
Form  10-Q,  we  are  referring  to  ROCKSHOX,  INC.

3.     DEFERRED  INCOME  TAXES

     Management  evaluates  on  a  quarterly  basis  the  recoverability  of the
deferred  tax  assets.  At  such time as it is determined that it is more likely
than  not that the deferred tax assets are not realizable, a valuation allowance
will  be  provided.  During  the  quarter  ended  December 31, 1999, a valuation
allowance  of  $2.7 million was recorded against the deferred tax assets balance
of  $4.1 million, thus retaining $1.4 million of the Company's planned carryback
benefit, which is reflected as Income Taxes Recoverable.  The Company has ceased
to recognize the current tax benefit of its operating losses because realization
is  not  assured  as  required  by  SFAS  No.  109.

4.   NOTE  PAYABLE

     On  June  29,  2000,  the  Company  entered into a revised credit agreement
providing  for  borrowing  up  to  $5.0  million. The credit facility expires on
December  10,  2001.  Any  outstanding  amounts  under  the  facility  are
collateralized  by  our  accounts  receivables,  inventory,  equipment  and
intangibles.  There  were  no  outstanding  borrowings  against  the  new credit
facility  as  of June 30, 2000, although the availability of the credit line was
reduced  by  a  $1  million  letter  of  credit  granted as security for the new
Colorado  Springs  facility.

Part  I:  Item  2

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results  of  Operations:

     In general, sales for the first quarter were driven by our new product line
and  efforts  to  better  serve  both  our  Original Equipment Manufacturers and
dealer/distributor  customers. We are beginning to see improvements in operating
expenses  as  the  result  of  our  restructuring,  which  has  focused  on
across-the-board  cost  reductions  in  every  element  of  our  business.

     Net  sales.  Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased by 28%
to  $12.2  million  from  $9.5 million for the corresponding period of the prior
year.  For  the  quarter ended June 30, 2000, OEM sales increased by 58% to $9.0
million  compared to $5.7 million in the corresponding period of the prior year.
Sales  to the retail accessory market in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 dropped
by 16.0% to $3.2 million compared to $3.8 million in the corresponding period of
the  prior  year.

     Gross  profit.  Gross  profit  for  the  quarter  ended  June  30, 2000 was
$1,303,000,  or 10.7% of net sales, compared to a loss of $977,000, or -10.3% of
net  sales,  for  the  corresponding  period of the prior year.  The increase in
gross  profit  principally  resulted  from  an increase in revenues coupled with
reduced  fixed  overhead  costs.

     Selling,  general  and  administrative  expense.  Selling,  general  and
administrative  ("SG&A")  expense  for  the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was $2.8
million,  or  approximately  23.2%  of  net  sales, compared to $5.0 million, or
approximately 52.8% of net sales, in the corresponding period of the prior year.
For fiscal 2000, this decrease can be attributed to a $720,000 severance accrual
resulting from certain organizational changes made during the quarter ended June
30,  1999.  In  fiscal  2001,  other reduced labor-related costs of $824,000 and
decreased  marketing  and  promotional  costs  of  approximately  $507,000.

     Research,  development  and engineering expense.  Research, development and
engineering  ("R&D") expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was $813,000 or
approximately  6.7% of net sales, compared to $888,000, or approximately 9.3% of
net  sales  in  the  corresponding  quarter  of  the  prior  year.

     Relocation  expenses.  One-time relocation expenses incurred for moving the
company's  non-manufacturing  components  to  Colorado  Springs,  Colorado  were
$950,000  in the June 30, 2000 quarter.  Relocation expenses will continue to be
recorded in the following quarter as the move is completed.  We expect the total
relocation  expenses  associated  with  the  relocation of our non-manufacturing
departments  to  be  approximately  $2  million.  The timetable and related cost
estimates  connected with moving the remaining manufacturing operations have not
yet  been  finalized.

     Interest  income.  For  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  2000  we recognized
interest  income  of  $20,000 compared to $63,000 in the corresponding period of
the  prior  year.  The  decrease  was  principally  due  to lower cash balances.

     Income  tax  benefit.  Our  effective tax rate, before valuation allowance,
for  the  first  quarter  of fiscal 2000 was a benefit of 28%.  However, for the
quarter  ended June 30, 2000, we did not recognize any additional tax benefit of
our  operating losses because realization is not assured as required by SFAS No.
109,  and  thus  a  valuation allowance was established for all operating losses
generated  during  the  period.

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources:

     For  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2000, net cash used in operating
activities  was $778,000, which consisted of net loss of $3.3 million, offset by
non-cash  charges  for  depreciation, amortization and loss on disposal of fixed
assets  of $1.3 million and a net increase of $1.2 million related to the change
in  operating  assets and liabilities.     Net cash used in investing activities
was  $908,000  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2000,  which consisted
principally  of  acquisitions  of  property  and  equipment.

     During the first fiscal quarter of 2001, the Company entered into a revised
credit  agreement  providing  for  borrowing  up  to  $5.0  million.  The credit
facility  expires  on  December  10,  2001.  Any  outstanding  amounts under the
facility  are  collateralized  by our accounts receivables, inventory, equipment
and  intangibles.  There  were  no outstanding borrowings against the new credit
facility as of June 30, 2000, although a $1 million letter of credit, granted as
security  for  the  new Colorado Springs facility, reduced borrowing capacity by
that  same  amount.

     At  June  30,  2000,  we  had cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million and
working  capital  of  $7.7 million.  We believe that our current working capital
and  available  financing  sources  will  be  sufficient  to  provide  operating
liquidity  for  at  least  the  next  twelve  months.

Forward-Looking  Statements

     Certain  statements  made  in  this  document  constitute  "forward-looking
statements"  within  the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of  1995.  Such  forward-looking  statements  involve  known  and unknown risks,
uncertainties  and other facts that may cause our actual results, performance or
achievements,  or  industry  results, to be materially different from any future
results,  performance  or  achievements  expressed  or  implied  by  such
forward-looking  statements.  Such factors are discussed in detail in our Annual
Report  on  Form  10-K.  Given  these  uncertainties,  prospective  and  current
investors  are  cautioned  not  to  place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements.  We  disclaim  any  obligation  to  update  any  such  factors or to
publicly  announce  the  result  of  any revisions to any of the forward-looking
statements  contained  in  the  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K or this document.

Item  3.  Quantitative  and  Qualitative  Disclosures  About  Market  Risks

We  considered  the provision of Financial Reporting Release No. 48, "Disclosure
of  Accounting  Policies  for  Derivative  Financial  Instruments and Derivative
Commodity  Instruments,  and  Disclosure  of  Quantitative  and  Qualitative
Information  about  Market  Risk  Inherent  in Derivative Financial Instruments,
Other  Financial  Instruments  and Derivative Commodity Instruments".  We had no
holdings  of  derivative financial or commodity instruments at June 30, 2000. We
are  exposed  to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and
foreign  currency  exchange  rates.  An  increase  in  interest  rates would not
significantly  affect  our net loss.  All of our revenue and capital spending is
transacted  in  U.S.  dollars.

Part  II:  Other  Information

   Item  1.  Legal  Proceedings

     We  are  involved  in  certain  legal  matters  in  the  ordinary course of
business.  No provision for any liability that may result upon the resolution of
these  matters has been made in the accompanying financial statements nor is the
amount  or  range  of  possible  loss,  if  any,  reasonably  estimable.

   Item  2.   Changes  in  Securities  and  Use  of  Proceeds

     Under  our  revised  credit  agreement,  we  will  not  declare  or pay any
dividends  (other than dividends payable solely in stock of the Borrower) on any
class of its stock or make any payment on account of the purchase, redemption or
other retirement of any shares of such stock or make any distribution in respect
thereof,  either  directly  or  indirectly.

   Item  3.   Defaults  Upon  Senior  Securities

              None.

   Item  4.   Submission  of  Matters  to  a  Vote  of  Security  Holders

              None.

   Item  5.   Other  Information

     We  have  received  notice  from  the  Nasdaq  Stock Market that, since our
minimum  bid  price per share has recently been below $1 for over 30 consecutive
days, we are not in compliance with the Nasdaq National Market listing standards
regarding  minimum  bid  price.  We  have  until  August 28, 2000 to demonstrate
compliance  with this requirement (by having the bid price on our stock equal or
exceeding  $1  for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days).  If we are unable
to  meet  this  requirement  or  receive a waiver from Nasdaq, our stock will be
delisted  and  maybe  traded  on  the  bulletin  board.

     On  June 30, 2000 we entered into a lease with Cherokee Equities, LLC for a
new  office  and industrial facility at 1610 Garden of the Gods Road in Colorado
Springs,  Colorado.  The  lease  term  is  for 130 months, and expires April 30,
2011.  Monthly  rents  range from $9,687.50 for July 2000 for 15,000 square feet
to  $69,025.00  for  April  2011  for  82,500  square  feet.

     On  June 29, 2000 we signed a new line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo
Business  Credit,  which  replaced  our  previous  line  of credit with the same
institution.  It  provides for borrowings up to $5.0 million at an interest rate
at  a  base  rate (currently 9.5%) plus .375% and expires in December 2001.  Any
outstanding  amounts  under  the  facility  are  collateralized  by our accounts
receivable,  inventory,  equipment  and  intangibles.  There were no outstanding
borrowings  against  the  new credit facility as of June 30, 2000.  However, our
available  borrowing  base  is  reduced  by the amount of a $1 million letter of
credit  required under our new Colorado Springs office lease as security for the
lease  obligation.
