To be honnest i found the fork really supportive as stock, i broke my arm in april this year, i started riding again like 4-5 rides ago and my low speed is full openned because i really need plushness... my arm still pretty fucked up, i ride with a brace ... I always found bos fork to be almost "over damped and over supportive" maybe yours have a problem. Did you tried to ask them ?

hi, no offense don't worry mate ! I know bos have bad reputation, and i know why, terrible customer service, they fixed that point, i have creaking fork with my deville fcv ( see my first devinci spartan in the bike check ) but this is fixed on the deville 35 and deville 35 II, and on the previous bike ( second devinci in my bike checks ) i had one bad o-ring in the hydraulic side ( in 2 years of use ), fixed by bos at no cost. Never had a problem on stoy or kirk2, syors shock...

I can compare deville fcv and deville 35 because if you look at my older spartan i had this one before... The 35mm frame and the new design make it really stiffer. I found too much flex in the 34mm deville fcv, even with my 20mm axle... Now i have the 35 in 15mm boost and it is way stiffer, like a fox 36 for me, or really close... I just bought the 20mmx110mm axle for my 35, i will see but i think i won't be noticeable... But it is good to know that they provide both options at...

The climb switch on mine does not seems to do something... On my kirk2 it was really noticeable, not on this one... Honnestly climb switches are not important on a good shock with a good bike... I live in france, to be honnest BOS had a time when it was a nighmare.... I have to admit... but to be honnest since like 2 years they are really back in business. They reply fast, i orderer a 20mm axle for the deville, it was shipped 24h after, service of both fork and shock took 48h... They do a good job now...

Hi @bansaiman, the problem is that i switched back to a coil from an air shock so my feeling may be a little false... and my english too XD but this is what i can say : I rode a fox DHX5.0 coil, yes it is an old one, then i switched to a bos stoy, yes old too ^^ and the difference was obvious ! The stoy was more plush, needed a bigger SAG and gave much more support on both low speed and hi speed compression. The grip was isane. Then i switched bike for the 2017 spartan...
