Hmm, they state an additional stability bracket is required for a 34, but not yet available. Will keep an eye out for this.

I read it as the 2022 Fox 34 needs adapter not yet available, however the earlier 34's "needs our custom adapter bracket and custom M4 bolt / washer (PGBODVO)"

Right, 2022 F34 (the fork in question here) needs the part (that is not yet available). No timeline on that yet it seems.

All my Manitou forks came in the box with a bolt on fender.

Well that is super generous of them but i cant see myself buying a new fork just for a free fender.

If the Blur TR I ordered in May ever shows up I was planning on using an extra Syncros fender I have. I assumed it would fit but maybe not. Couldn't you simply drill new holes in the Syncros fender to match up to the 2022 Fox holes? Or even trim the fender if needed? Love the size and simplicity of the Syncros fender. The one linked above is terrible, lol.

Here is a Step Cast one from Syncros. I have the regular ones for my 110 and 100 axle F34 forks. It looks like the SC fender doesn't have the hood that goes over the arch of the fork.

Doh...the arch looks different on the new 34.

I actually bolted mine up to a F34 2022 fine. It seems to fit solidly. Don't know if it fits the stepcast yet. T

he F34 SC and F34 2022 both look similar but for some reason Synchros doesn't list the new fender as compatible with both.

Do you have a pic you can share looking at the backside where the fender bolts on? All the new generation Fox forks share the new rounded support arch which is distinctly different than the angular, trapezoidal arch of the previous generation forks. Just curious how well it actually lines up and if there are any small interference or overlap issues.

This is a 2022 F34 NOT Stepcast. Haven't checked on a Stepcast yet.

It looks like Syncros has an updated design for the 2022 fox 34 fenders, but unsure if they've been released yet: https://www.syncros.com/us/en/product/syncros-trail-2-fender-34?article=2883400001222

Anyone have both 34 2022 and 34SC 2022?
Are they the same arch and bolt location despite the SC having narrower width?

I do and I'll test / check later today / tonight.

Yes, they are in the same location. I was able to get my RRP fender snugged in nicely. This is the fender that worked on last year's model Fox 34.

After looking at my Stepcast / cramming in the RRP proguard fender I don't think this one will work for a step cast. It seems to rigid / designed to match the width of the F34 crown (not SC). Bolt holes should line up, so you may be able to get it to work with trimming.

did you need to squeeze the RRP fender to get it to fit between the lowers?

Save

Yes, I had to slide it in directly against the crown while squeezing it. It didn't "fit" if I just tried to get in place through the legs. it's a tight fit, but settles in.

I bought a 2021 Syncros Fox 34 SC fender and fit it to my 2022 34 SC. Just a bit of trimming to match the curvature of the arch and I trimmed the legs a bit too at the bottom. Bolt hole pattern is the same. On the 2022, the threaded holes are a bit proud of the plane of the rest of the bridge. You can see on the new, upcoming design that they accounted for that. Will work for me for now until the real deal is available.
