If I were SRAM I’d be worried. If I were Shimano I’d be shitting it

Another words, more pistons does not equal more better

UCI ENDURO WORLD CUP - ROUND 2 GOLDSBURY STORMS TO MAIDEN ELITE WIN AS ŁUKASIK RETURNS TO THE TOP IN DEMANDING SAALFELDEN LEOGANG – SALZBURGERLAND Rain, technical terrain and over 73 kilometres of racing set the stage for a challenging second UCI Enduro World Cup round in Saalfelden Leogang – Salzburgerland. Winnifred Goldsbury made more memories in Austria’s largest bike region, Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn after clinching her first Women’s Elite UCI Enduro World Cup victory, while Sławomir Łukasik (Yeti/Fox Factory Race Team) returned to the top step of the Men’s Elite podium in difficult conditions. In the Junior categories...

Propain Updates the Spindrift with New Colors and Build Kit Naming Convention Propain makes the Spindrift for riders who need a freeride bike that can deal with anything from a pedal-powered enduro adventure to a week in the bike park. It can be built up with a single or a dual crown fork, while still taking a regular wide-range drivetrain and a dropper post if you want it to. For 2026, Propain is giving the Spindrift some fresh new colors, and an updated naming convention that is more in line with what the bike is. The Spindrift AL comes in...

I got a first ride in on my 2027 Zeb on my local trails. My first impressions straight off were that it felt like it tracked the ground really well, rode higher in its travel & had more midstroke support, and was super, super quiet. I'm coming from a 2-3 year old Zeb with Charger 3.1 and a Noken, which I liked but my old fork's chassis was worn out and noisy. I started out running the recommended pressure for my weight (155 lbs + 7 lbs gear + ebike), which suggested 133 psi. Normally I prefer to manually account...

People seem to joke about this, but were apparently fine with forks basically just smashing themselves in to the bottom of the lowers with next to no protection, since time immemorial.....Its like that reassuring CLANG and jarring through the hands is what they needed to know you got your monies worth!

Yeah I agree. I do have both forks at 160mm and can definitely whip something up once I get time on the Lyrik.

Uh oh. My wallet might be getting lighter. Nice work.

Trying to figure out if I should bail on my 38 plans now....

To add to what’s already been said, I think most ride feel differences between two different suspension brands on a bike would be over shadowed by maintenance intervals. In other words, servicing suspension often is going to make a bigger ride feel difference than having a different brand fork vs shock.

Last year, for one of my engineering classes I did a simulation in Ansys titled “The influence of the axle diameter on the torsional stiffness in an USD bicycle fork”. It was an exercise more focused on Ansys, not on being scientific, but still the results were interesting. Here’s a link to the presentation . TLDR: 20mm was only 4% stiffer

420mm chainstays!!!! Has anyone checked on Brian Cahal?

Well that disproves the hypothesis that Fox takes special care of the forks for the press camps.

Just came to say "well, actually...."
