38mm stanchions confirmed…

The cam for a firmer bite point has me extremely interested. Glad to see they’re still DOT. I’m getting more and more mineral oil brakes and I find them annoying. They’re not the massive improvement that people claim. I can get DOT fluid anywhere at any time (you can even take some from your car reservoir if you’re in a pinch), I don’t want to buy your special flavor of baby oil that you colored purple or some shit. I also hate cleaning up mineral oil. DOT fluid is a bit nasty, but it’s soluble in water so it just...

Intend 😅

I think generally stiffer chassis benefits lightweight riders a ton. I don't think there is anyone who thinks their fork works just as well on the brakes as it does off. As you mentioned the leverage on the fork is insane; that problem doesn't just go away because the rider loses 30-40 pounds. That's all the difference there is between a lightweight 130lb rider, and a "normal" 170lb rider. Is Jackson Goldstone struggling to win on a 40 because it's too stiff? Sure doesn't seem like it. So as a lighter rider myself (~130lbs) I don't think the fears over...

some new forks from intend at Eurobike

Yes, I did get the 9.1 fork back from PUSH and promptly took both forks to Angel Fire for 3 days. I have lots of data and info on them and am in the process of putting it all together in a post or two. To address some other things that have come up recently; @TEAMROBOT @sspomer If you guys at Vital MTB really want to test product, you should have someone not affiliated with Vital purchase it. This is the only way you can be sure you get product similar to what the true consumer does. I worked at...

It's the end of an era 😢 the v4 pad shape has been around for a long long time

Fox famously dabbled with an inverted DH fork in 2011, and quickly scrapped the project due to negative rider feedback, including excessive weight and torsional flex. 15 years later, they’re bringing back the inverted idea, but upping the difficulty by moving to a single crown platform. The new fork is heavy, unconventional, expensive, and risky, but FOX thinks it’s going to blow your mind. In fact, they’ve already secured spec for the Podium on bikes from at least nine different brands for 2026, which includes a mix of e-bikes and normal bikes. You can hear more about why FOX...

Good point only if fox didnt have the the most failing shock with the x2. I would probably bet on Push's qc over fox's but I get it, its better to back the big corporate guys and shit on the little guys. AM I RITEEE!

Weight looks to be identical as well. Why is it so heavy compared to pushs coil fork

Hey y'all, came here to say the same thing. Wanted to let the inverted fork nerds know that I'm on the new Fox Podium and it's excellent. Blew me away, actually.

It would be cool to have a comparison between some other inverted forks like Intend Edge, Push 9.1 or even a Dorado. The Edge is a whopping 570g lighter than this fork!

I’m in that camp for my DH bike. I find tubeless to be a huge pain in the ass in general. Especially when swapping to a new tire. I’ve been running thick/DH tubes and DH casing tires on my DH bike for the last two seasons with only one flat. I don’t see any reason to go back to tubeless on that bike.
