$860.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Light, stiff, maintenance free. | | Weaknesses: | Fox = Expensive | | Similar Products Used: | none | | Bike Setup: | Heckler V5,DHX5C,2.5/2.3 f/r Nevegals. | | Bottom Line: | Plush, stiff, Choice of springs included in package - not a lot of coil forks caters for ppl below 135lbs(RS and Marz, i hope you read this). Other than the occasionaly few drops of lub on the stanchions the fork has performed flawlessly. Overall rating 5 chilis, value rating CRAP because Fox made it expensive. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$800.00 | | Purchased At: | Sunshine Cycleworks | | Strengths: | Stiff, smooth as butter, lite, easy to set up & adjust for different terrain, quick release thru axle is easy to use & reliable. Cable guides are a great addition.
| | Weaknesses: | None - you get what you pay for! | | Similar Products Used: | Marz AM1, 66 & a bunch of older forks. | | Bike Setup: | Ellsworth Moment,DHX 5.0 Pushed Coil, XT cranks, sram x0 trigger, hayes disc brakes, thompson post & stem, DT Swiss 5.0 w/ hope2 hubs. | | Bottom Line: | This fork is awesome, it's incredibly plush, smooth and rides great. Unbelievable stiff and responsive for such a lite wieght 6.3 inch 20mm thru axle fork.
I ride a mix of New england terrain, but much of it is slower rocky tech riding with a lot of short uphills. You can dial this fork super smooth for the low speed bumps & also maintain the brake dive & pedal platform. The faster you push this fork the smoother it is. It begs to be jumped, dropped & ridden hard. The best fork I have ever owned hands down. It's worth every penny. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$950.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Smooth as butter, stiff, light for a coil fork, adjustability, thru axle mechanism is simple and bombproof. | | Weaknesses: | Pricey, bland color? - white would be flashier but that is just my opinion. | | Similar Products Used: | Marzocchi am1, am sl, manitou nixon, Float 36 R | | Bike Setup: | '06 enduro, dhx air, xo, xt wheels, thomson, fsa kforce dh, saint brakes, etc. . . | | Bottom Line: | Buy this fork if you have the cash. It's super smooth like its big brother, the 40. Only lighter! Will update my review when I will have more rides.
