I am most interested in the long term durability since they now use bushings instead of their so well performing cup and cone bearings

4/6/2026 10:51am probably aesthetic reasons. I've had the same bike going on 4 years, between a 24' Float X2, 24' DHX2, and 26' Float X2, and Intend Hover; the fox shocks felt the most dramatically different. while the intend felt most like a fox coil shock. so yeah.... whatever works best @carlinojoevideo

I run which ever works best. In my opinion I do not think there’s one brand with the best fork and shock on the market. Different brands that make the best shock and best fork.

4/6/2026 10:40am i messed with mine a few times at big bear. i was just curious to see any difference when purging air from altitude. fork felt exactly the same, only thing i noticed was top-out went away. Flash 35 is already a little finnicky with top out (depends on your riding style) congrats on the fork! you'll never regret it, my...

Not really an issue as much as it would be a welcome addition. It is somewhat easy to burp Intend forks by loosening the top nut a bit with a 10mm socket and pushing down. Better than flipping the bike over and using a little zip tie in the wiper seal. The Italian Guy puts bleeders in the crown. Speaking of Intend forks, I was at Bootleg Canyon in Nevada this past weekend and there is a trail feature there known affectionately as The Poop Chute. It's a jagged solid rock waterfall full of notches and ledges. It has a...

I just picked up a fox podium as a loaner for a month to try out. I just got my first ride on it this morning. Initial impressions are quite positive and I was pretty surprised by how sensitive it was, bordering on how my 38 with v2 smashpot feels in terms of willingness to move under small chatter. I'll post more of my impressions as I spend more time with it. Initially I would say that there are grip benefits for off camber corners situations and extremely chunky sections. If I had to boil that down to a number...

Is there anyone here that tried both any of the Intend forks and the podium? Curious to know your opinions I managed to for a big ride today on a bike fitted with the podium and other than noticing that’s a bit smoother and the wheel gets out of the way better, and that holds the lines better on off camber roots, I wasn’t that impressed considering how heavy and expensive it is. I feel getting the bushing done to a 38 X2 would be 99% of the performance but at 350gr less
