It's currently in production for model years 2018 to present. There's a pre-order option on the website for both the 40 and the ZEB if you want to be first in line, or check back around the end of August.

The 40 is ready to go, it's already been World Cup race tested, but got bumped by ZEB in the production order due to likely much lower demand.

US orders are shipped both from the US and direct from the supplier in Taiwan. If stock in the US runs low we can switch to fulfilling orders direct from the factory. In either case you will never get a tariff bill or have to deal with customs in any way, that is all paid for and handled on our end in advance. No surprises, no extra fees for customers later on. The same is true for international orders, we handle the customs and import procedures rather than passing that burden and the cost on to you.

Lee from Ride 886 here. A primary goal when designing the TopHat was to address what we felt were limitations with the products currently available aftermarket. Namely, reducing unnecessary internal volume as much as possible, adding additional tuning option that are decoupled from the pressure ratio, purposely not designing around a predetermined ratio or theoretical spring curve, creating a modular design that can be adapted cheaply to a new fork purchase whenever possible, adding value for customers by manufacturing and including a quality installation/removal tool, including replacement seals and publishing all other o-ring specs, building a robust website with easy...

My step daughter (or...will be step daughter in 2 months) is 45 pounds. Her bike is at least 25 pounds. She tries SO hard to get up relatively small hills, and is a total trooper for doing it. But it'd be 1000% more fun for everyone if she had a tiny bit of assistance, like just enough to make her bike that is over 50% her body weight feel more like its 20% her body weight. In this case I'm not sure it'd actually work, being the motor+battery would add weight to the point she might be scared of the...

It will definitely help riders get closer to setup. That will be great but it will still be different than fork/shock data.

Time for a project update! A lot has been going on. First, the hardware has evolved. I've done a major redesign to make the logger more robust and easier to build. It now supports up to 8 analog channels, plus digital on I2C and a UART connector for external GPS. The firmware has moved a long way too. It now supports AS5600 and AS5048 rotary encoders and DAN-F10N GPS modules (these are available from Sparkfun on a breakout board and work really well). There is now an option to write log files in a compact binary format, which reduces file...

I think you still find a world cup level guys who bolt it on at a race, think the numbers are way off and start changing things right away....thats the type of team Jordi is talking about, as they will likely be asking him for certain change based totally on the data instead of anything the rider is asking for - thats the big mistake. The tools are still really good and useful to have, as long as teams don't let it dominate the decisions. It's fine if people come up with the own interpretations but it puts people like...

My $0.02 on Jordi and DAQ... He's clearly not an idiot, but neither are the teams running DAQ at world cup level. Most likely, they're both right. Jordi sits in the Fox stand and deals with whatever walks through the door, under enormous time pressure. There's probably 3/5 of 5/8 he doesn't know about how Fox product behaves, both through his own honed intuition and through dyno data. Having people bring their own interpretations probably does get in the way of him doing his thing. Even if you loved DAQ, you might think it belonged in the off season and...

Interesting take here from Jordy https://youtu.be/mnl9xQJF9ok?is=Aa7TLQLWLpn97NtU Seems like the Suspension Engineers don't like the teams using DAQ that much. I also noticed this... In the videos from last years worldcup you saw maybe 30% of the teams using DAQ system and this year you see pretty much 100% of them running the BYB DAQ. I feel like DAQ is almost more useable for "normal" riders that haven't the experience of a racer that know what "suspension feel" they're chasing. For example I don't know what my bike feels like at its best possible setup. For the longest time I thought...

I have been seeing the request for leverage curves for offset-mounted linear sensors come up quite a bit more in the last 12 months. If you don't want to calculate this manually I finally got around to actually surfacing this functionality in the UI. The basic process is: - measure your sensor eye to eye length at full extension (or what you want full extension to be, recommended to have a little buffer) - enter the stroke (only required for the visualization) - drag or enter the position points. For convenience the length is fixed and you can just move...

I love the DIWhy vibes from the last few pages 😍 I have been working a lot on the App and the Firmware for the mast month or so. I have made a lot of progress into packaging it into end to end usable, both on desktop and mobile. Major changes Live data! Now you can stream the sensor readings from a connected DAQ in more or less real time (20-30ms delay). You can set the time on the DAQ and you can edit and replace the configuration, without dealing with memory cards and text files! You can also change...

it's almost as much as your megatower.

Next thing you know people will jump out of airplanes and trust their lives to some strings

I'm overdue to write that Telum review, but in short it's phenomenal. If the damper is anywhere near as good as the shock, it will be unreal. I couldn't believe how much better my fork felt with the MRP Lift damper, so I'm totally down for a Vorsprung fork damper.

I put a switchgrade on all of my bikes. My climbs are fire roads and then straight down descents. I use 240 droppers and this usually. I can tolerate 210 with one of these on hikes with bad insertion. I’m in the desert for a few months and I’ve changed it to be flat, tilted for dh, and tilted for lots of dh. It’s not for everyone and every trail, but I’ve never regretted the purchase and find it useful nearly everywhere

It's very useful if you ride steep both up and down. More efficient uphill position so you don't have to fight to not slip back on the saddle. On the way down it provides extra clearance so it's like having a longer dropper.

To me it’s like a dropper post, it’s almost always up or down.
