I absolutely love my previous gen boxxer on my pedal bike. I have a 15mm axle conversion and with a direct mount the stem the weight difference to a 38/Zeb is absolutely negligible. Being able to run a longer spring for the same axle to crown is just an added bonus. The super wide top tube of my spire did cause some steering issues while climbing with the short offset crowns but the narrower tubes of my frameworks enduro has been trouble free.

Watched it last night. Definitely see it as a more compelling idea for big ol ebikes compared to the Podium or even a run of the mill 38. The notable downside being so many ebikes have tubing that wouldn't be pleasant to run with a DH fork. Turning radius of a winnebago...

I pushed the rock shox product manager to keep the 35mm Boxxer and update with a tapered steerer and 15mm axle for these bikes. Shot down.

Nice little earner for millie . Must be a bit of a slap in the face to be heading back to world cups to battle for a podium that gets you peanuts. The crankworks downhills always seemed boring compared to world cup broadcasts. Hopefully they attempt to attract more top level riders who are missing out on WC LCQ regularly.

They really are class acts all around, and I will never not be gutted for how they placed this year. A travesty.

For the park rats, depending on what trails you actually ride, a shorter travel bike may make the most sense. A lot of full-on DH bikes feel a bit "sleddy", if you spend all your time on A-Line. But yeah, these kinds of builds will always be pretty niche, that's for sure. I had a good time when I did a "downduro" conversion of my Capra back in 2020, I liked how the bike rode. It didn't feel unbalanced at all (but then my build was 170/180 of course, so that was probably to be expected): https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/The-Downduro-Project-Dual-Crown-and-a….

as someone with a Stumpy Evo and the desire for a bigger 2nd bike for both lift-assisted and winch/plummet riding, I like that these DH builds exist. not because I'll buy one, but because it indirectly gives me the option to get e.g. a Status 170 frame and swap between a 180mm single-crown fork and a 190mm dual-crown. I don't ride enough park to justify owning a big bike I can't also pedal (slowly) up the hill, so this seems like a good middle ground to still experience some of that dual-crown magic you guys all rave about.

well depending on the type of freeriding you're doing, single crown was still the ideal move for barspins/tailwhips. I will still find a way to bring up the fact that the Kona Process 167 is the best mountain bike ever made lol I think my question is not just about design, which is def still dubious, but also definitely value proposition. Though I can see the take of 'i have a DH bike AND an enduro/FR bike, depending on which fork I run'. I mean one of the few bikes that outright put 'FR' in the name, the Scott Voltage...

You know, before "enduro" we used have these things called "freeride" bikes, so it's not a new concept.

Pretty sure these builds exist to outfit bike parks with their rental fleet for the year.

How about serviceability of the fork? I’d choose longer service intervals or easier diy service compared to additional deal of the for any time

The ratings just don't compute. It's hard when the testers obviously have one of the big two on their own bikes and getting past that bias is difficult. The DIY and servicing at home is huge too, try and do work on Fox suspension yourself it's usually a nightmare requiring special tools.
