from Manhattan, KS Date Reviewed: April 3, 2010 Strengths: Plush ride and highly customizable settings. Can easily be changed to offer a firm ride, even though it doesn’t have lockout. Strong, ridged fork that won’t flex or rattle too much while bouncing over some single track or rough XC trails. Absorbs dust, mud, and rocks without gumming up and will go all day, all week, all month, or longer without any issues. Weaknesses: Slight sticking when you go a long time without cleaning it, but I’ve only noticed this went pumping the shock up and down manually, not when I’m actually riding over rough terrain. It just needs a good cleaning and some new boots and then it’ll be back to factory ride quality. New seal kits are cheap at about 12 bucks.

from London, UK Date Reviewed: July 9, 2003 Strengths: Although it doesn't leave a strong impression on the first ride, after a few weeks of riding you realise that time and time again this fork delivers controlled predictable performance under all maner of riding situations. This fork has an excellent suspension action and respond well whether going steady or hitting stuff flat out. Yes its slightly heavy for an air fork, but its sturdy build gives a solid feel with precise steering. Stripping the fork down reveals the source of the forks excellent damping and some of its hefty weight: its high quality machined internals. Weaknesses: Fresh out of the box this fork has flawless performance but unfortunately this is only half of the fox experience. The upper legs are covered with a very delicate low friction coating. Any dirt getting past the seals and finding its way to the bushings will strip this off. Without this coating the seals don't work properly and oil and air will leak out of the fork. This happened to my fork after 12 months riding despite cleaning the fork after each ride and following fox's recommended maintenance schedule. To get the fork working again properly requires a new steerer/crown/upper leg assembly to be fitted - $260 for fox to do this. And it looks like it could be a yearly expense to keep these units running. I've used various suspension forks, not maintained them half as carefully as the fox's and none of them are anywhere near as delicate as the Float Forks.
