Please. Where can I find "VitalMTB" review on the 2013 Fox 34 CTD forks? I didn't recall reading one and I couldn't google or find it on Vital's site. But here is an example from what I've read, back in late 2012 and early 2013: Quoted from NSMB.com: "I really like the option of the good handling Trail mode and the open Descend mode. I used Trail mode most of the time because it blows open much better than RLC ever did." Link: http://nsmb.com/review-fox-34-float-26/ So, am I wrong to be "educated" by these reviews? Or should I just listen to...

The point is, everybody is saying that Fox has ADMITTED their shortcomings. Then why the hell are we customers have to pay for an "upgrade". To me, they are just covering their faults with "upgrades" or "updates".

Better wait for a year before buying anything new from Fox. Does anyone still remember the Fox 34 being UPDATED with a "Totally REVISED, much BETTER" compression damping after 6 months of its first release? I do, because I am the one riding a "Totally crap, wrongfullly dampered" brand new Fox 34 for 6 months, then realizing that I am riding an old, less performaning fork...

If you're familiar with the RockShox's line, here is how's the Pike: A mini BoXXer that makes your front end feel like a Revelation but tracks like a Lyrik, that is how good the Pike is. Straight out of the box it is smoother than any Kashima coated Fox.
