Fox Racing Shox 32 F-Series FIT RLC 2010 Forks
Product DescriptionFor 2010, we have turned inward, with a completely new design of the FIT RLC dampers. The FIT damper uses a unique bladder design, which provides the lowest possible friction for a sealed damper, reduces fluid aeration for enhanced suspension consistency, and reduces unsprung weight for faster wheel response and increased steering precision. From World Cup XC to week-long stage races and everywhere in between, the F-Series forks are the most versatile and desirable cross country forks available.

from AZ Date Reviewed: December 18, 2010 Strengths: Great performance from the first ride. The seals break in quickly and slow speed sensitivity is very good. The 15qr is a noticeable improvement. Weaknesses: I will probably want the next version. It's some kind of bike addiction. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: Rock Shox on demo bike.

from Denver, Co Date Reviewed: September 22, 2010 Strengths: Versatile adjustments. Pretty stiff and light for XC use. Comes in 80,100,120mm tapered and 15QR. Weaknesses: Striction first couple months, Fox quality control with oil levels and foreign objects in lowers ( will explain later) Fit damper cant be pushed at least for now (9/22/2010). Fit damper is really complicated for self service. Doesnt come in a 130mm travel. Does not use all of its 120mm travel. Just like anything good in the biking industy be ready to sell your kidney in the black market to be able to afford it.

from Irvine, CA, USA Date Reviewed: June 6, 2010 Strengths: Lightweight, and the QR15 setup looks kinda cool. Weaknesses: STICKY AS HELL. I have done the normal breakin rides, and it does not seem to be changing. A bit of internet searching has revealed this to be a big problem with the FIT forks. Real bummer. I've read that if you jam a whole bunch of lube under the dust seals that it helps for a while, but also weeps out onto the stantions. Also, the QR15 design doesn't really have a way to center the axle when tightening. This is just a piece of crap. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Can't choose Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Similar Products Used: Almost everything

from Ontario Date Reviewed: May 8, 2010 Strengths: This is for the 100mm model that came with my Blur XCc. Great looks, super stiff, adjustability, easy sag set-up, hose clip keeps brake line secure and clean looking. Weaknesses: Stiction. I've read people here have had this fork running 'smooth out of the box'. Not mine, carzy stiction for the first 5-6 hours of riding since new, and the majority of the stiction has gone away, but it's still there and noticeable. Maybe it's still not broken in yet after 6 hours of riding. If it doesnt go away son I'll be giving Fox a call. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Pontiac Lake Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Came with my Blur XC Similar Products Used: Older Fox Float RL 80mm, Rock Shox SID Bike Setup: 2010 Blur XC Carbon Fox RP23 Mavic Crossmax SLR Avid Elixir CR Thomson post/stem Shimano XT

from Singapore Date Reviewed: September 26, 2009 Strengths: Good feedback. Once its dailed in to your liking, there isn't a need to tweak anymore Weaknesses: Fork stickers - the labels should be printed on like other brands rather than stickers.
