Description:
    Fox's proven TALAS (travel adjust linear air spring) concept has evolved into a quick three-stage system, adjustable with a 90 degree sweep of a lever, setting travel between 140-120 and 100mm. For 2008 Fox addded an extra 10mm of travel to meet the needs of today's trail bike. Combined with legendary Fox steering precision and all new chassis, and either their new patent pending Fox Isolated Technology (FIT) damping or the ultra-refined and patented RLC open bath system, the lightweight and feature packed TALAS is a sure bet for any trail condition.

      FavoriteTrail: National Phoenix, Arizona
      Duration Product Used: 6 months
      Purchased At: Came with bike
      Strengths: Very smooth and adjustable. The 100mm adjustment works amazingly well on steep technical climbs. Otherwise, if it's just a long steady climb, I will keep it in the 140mm setting.
      Weaknesses: Very hard to setup for basic sag! Normally, 25% would easily be achieved by their chart and some tweaking. However, at 190 pounds, I'm at 50PSI and am barely hitting the 25% marker!!! The FOX gude says I should be using around 90PSI! Something doesn't make sense. I'm thinking their manual is for earlier models? I will emailing FOX soon.
      Bike Setup: 2008 Giant Reign 0 with a DHX Air 4.0
      Bottom Line: Overall, it works up to speed except for the sag issue. I think with the proper sag, I could get more out of it. I'm convinced though, a solution will be found by FOX and I will be a happier customer. I've read that others have experienced the same setup issue as me.
