$500.00 | | Purchased At: | Mojo Wheels | | Strengths: | Responsive, durable, no hassle set-up. | | Weaknesses: | none so far | | Similar Products Used: | Manitou Black 80/100 | | Bike Setup: | YETI ASR. Fox F100, Progressive rear shock, Thompson stem and post, Cane Creek headset, Juicy 7 disc brakes, Kenda Navigal tires. | | Bottom Line: | This fork changed how I ride!! It takes small xc drops and jumps like a champ. It's stiff enough to let me climb all I want. It could have been cheaper, but you get what you pay for. Another great product from Fox!! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 6, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | Tested or demo'ed only | | Purchased At: | came on my fiances bike | | Strengths: | light, nice damping, nice adjustment, pretty fork and firm for its weight. | | Weaknesses: | not enough travel for me, thats not forks fault, its just not for my riding style. not lockout but again, if you want the rcl you should pay more for that....expensive if you buy just the fork but it worth it. | | Similar Products Used: | in the xc area rockshox indy, duke, judy (all of them all models), suntour yiak!!, new toras. In the AM and freeride area (my area) rockshox lirik, marzocchi z1 and 66light eta, but nothing similar. | | Bike Setup: | my fiances juliana d kit with rp23 and this nice fork. | | Bottom Line: | Today I took a 1 hour xc ride because Im recovering from many injuries. After almost 2 mouths resting I decided to get the july for me thinking it would be like a small superlight. I put more air, the recomended for my weight and then go o the woods. It is a magnificent fork, of course is new and I dont know for the long term but out of the box (the bike is 1 mounth old) the fork is great, nice feeling. Now Im considering to get the vanilla 140 rcl for my new nomad that is coming, but at my 230 pounds and my not so gently style I should consider one of the 36's trough axel. Im going to check my friends 36 talas and 36 vanillas durability to consider a fox (I have heard many issues about mantantainance and coming from marzocchi I dont want that).
Ok bottom line, Just demoed it and I have to tell you it is (with my dead 03 marzocchi z1) the best fork I ever tried.
Good job fox, just try to make your forks mantainance free. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
