What are the most affordable XCO with Flight Attendant?

The Flight Attendant technology for XCO was officially introduced by RockShox just 1 year ago and has since caused a disruptive change in the market. Initially, only the top-of-the-line models of each manufacturer mounted these suspensions, but in the 2026 catalogs, it begins to democratize.

The RockShox Flight Attendant SID system is starting to expand in the catalogs of brands. Which are the cheapest XCO bikes with this system?

This intelligent electronic system is capable of automatically adjusting the suspensions during pedaling, optimizing efficiency and performance. However, its price is usually reserved for premium bikes, although more and more brands are starting to include it in more setups. In this article, we compile the most affordable models on the market equipped with Flight Attendant, sorted by brands and prices, highlighting the most affordable setup from each manufacturer.

1. Orbea starting from €7,398

In their 2026 catalog, Orbea already presents three setups with Flight Attendant SID in their Oiz model. In all three cases, it must be added through their MyO program when configuring the bike. But the most affordable is the Oiz M10 AXS Flight Attendant, priced at €7,398. At that price, it becomes the most affordable XCO with Flight Attendant SID as standard on the market. It features a carbon OMR frame, RockShox SID Flight Attendant suspension, and SRAM AXS Eagle groupset, making it one of the most complete options in terms of value for money.

The higher-end models available are the Oiz M-Team AXS (€8,598) and Oiz M-LTD (€11,998).

2. Berria starting from €7,499

The Spanish brand Berria offers two setups of their MAKO BR model with Flight Attendant. This is the bike with which they won their first World Cup race and they offer this system in two setups. The most affordable is the Mako BR PRO X0 FA, with a competitive price of €7,499. This model stands out for its carbon frame with semi-integrated shock absorber and features RockShox SID Ultimate FA suspensions and SRAM X0 AXS Eagle T-Type transmission, making it a very attractive option for those looking for cutting-edge technology without exceeding the €8,000 barrier. They also offer a premium version with their Mako BR XX-S, which goes up to €11,999.

3. Scott starting from €8,650

Since its introduction, Scott offers several setups of the Spark RC with Flight Attendant. It is worth noting that due to its particular frame, with the fully integrated shock absorber, this bike mounts a specific shock absorber manufactured by RockShox in which the battery and adjustment dials are modified to be manipulable from the Spark's service cap. It is also necessary to remember that this shock absorber was used by Nino Schurter to develop the Flight Attendant system in competition and he achieved his first victory with it in the Lenzerheide World Cup.

Speaking of prices, in the range, the most affordable option is the Scott Spark RC World Cup, available for €8,650. This model stands out for its acclaimed lightweight and robust frame, XC competition geometry, and a balanced combination of SRAM Eagle components and intelligent RockShox suspensions. The higher-end models are the Spark RC World Cup EVO (€12,210) and Spark RC SL (€15,260).

4. Specialized starting from €9,500

Specialized also expands the range of setups with Flight Attendant for 2026 that until now was reserved for their exclusive S-Works series. In the new catalog, the most accessible model is the Specialized Epic 8 Pro, priced at €9,500. It includes a FACT carbon frame, SID Ultimate Flight Attendant suspensions, and SRAM Eagle components, offering an experience close to the high-end S-Works range, which is priced at €14,500.

5. BH - €11,999.90

The Spanish brand BH is strongly committed to this system and offers their two competition models with it. Both the Lynx Race 9.9 with 120mm of travel and the new Lynx SLS 9.9 with short travel mount Flight Attendant suspensions and SRAM XX SL AXS groupsets for €11,999.

6. Trek - €12,999

The Trek Supercaliber is another bike in which RockShox had to work hard to bring their Flight Attendant system to it. In this case, the shock absorber also had to be created specifically for the unique IsoStrust design of the Supercaliber.

Currently, Trek only has one XCO model with Flight Attendant, the Trek Supercaliber SLR 9.9 Flight Attendant with OCLV Mountain carbon frame, SRAM Eagle XX SL AXS transmission, and a price of €12,999.

7. Mondraker - €12,999

Mondraker has two F-Podium models with Flight Attendant, with the F-Podium RR SL being the most affordable, priced at €12,999. This setup stands out for its carbon frame with XC Forward geometry, SID Ultimate Flight Attendant suspensions, and Mavic CrossMax Carbon wheels. Their higher-end model, the F-Podium Unlimited Flight Attendant, goes up to €13,799.

These options show how RockShox Flight Attendant technology is starting to reach more setups in 2026, and although the price of intelligent electronic suspensions is still high, they have taken the first step to becoming more accessible.
