alright, for the first time ever, Boxxers will be on my bike! Marzocchi will be my backup and hucking setup!
all i needed was those 3mm bigger stanchions, and that was my selling point!
hopefully they dont have the gnarl stanchion grinding inside the leg... i imagine the bigger diameters will have sorted that out!

so sick, lovin the white too!

they are structurally sound to major HITS, but i've seen too many firsthand cases of the legs getting holes blown in them from internal PRESSURE during hard compression... when you see the wall thickness of the leg for yourself, youll see why i say they are paper thin and weak
other than that, as i said, they are just friggin amazing forks!

^^every floating/ virtual pivot has the same concept... VPP, DW, FPS, VF4P, you name it.
and the bike youre looking for would be any Canfield....

this bike looks suuuper sick though!

theyve got a very good reptation and their stuff really is the top of the line BUT their suspension products are extremely expensive, which makes them relatively unheard of...
amazing stuff though, thats for sure

so true though... but nobody wants em anymore because theyre heavy... which is structurally a good thing, but doesnt sell anymore...
i could go for one tho! haha

sure buddy, i have no idea whatsoever

find me one boxxer that doesnt feel like the damn stanchion is going to eat the leg alive and i will more than gladly eat every word i've ever said about boxxers! i never said that theyre an overall crappy fork, i just said that they feel like crap... otherwise their damping system and weight are friggin amazing!

fool

^^ and the NSX videos
and everyone on a shiver/dorado in the early DropIn seasons...

could be a good fork, could be a load of crap... look what happened with the '08 Zokie line...

forks dot suck when they are put together properly... minscule mL's of oil will change the way any damping system performs, peoples '07 888SL's were having mega problems with the PAR system, not because it doesnt work, but because it wasnt assembled to exact specs before being put to work... i know from experience with that exact issue
i dont know about the '08s so much, but i bet it is the same concept

companies dont blow millions of dollars a year to put a product that sucks out on the market... this one isnt even out yet, so dont go bashing it until you actually put it to the the test... however expensive that test may be.

boxxers, 888's, and 40's have their drawbacks too... boxxers feel like crap, but are featherweight. 888's feel amazing but need to be assembled perfectly. 40's are amazing, but are paper thin and weak... do each of these quirks make these forks better? not at all....

youll have better luck bending your 40 dude... bending a 42mm 8" fork? yeah, not quite...

well the magazine would have to buy it from me... in doing so, they would gain rights to the pic and i would take my watermark off and just leave my name in fine print @ the bottom...

he's probably not too worried about those insanely expensive designs because he doesnt plow a bike like 80% of the consumers do...
these designs pop out of the blue because they work better than ANYTHING, but only when one is just plowing the bike and not flowing too well...

once people realize that the way you ride a bike determines how the bike and its components are going to react, they are going to finally say "hey i dont need to spend this shiatload of money for some new flashy technology i dont necessarily need!"
and then companies like trek are going to dissappear from the downhill scene...

sure it saves you when you get out of your flow in a race, but theres only one way to get better at preventing that, and that is to learn from mistakes, correct them and quit relying on your bike to do the work for you...

nbd, i just like to rant... i know i'm not getting one though... theres more dependable ways to become a better rider and spending more than i make in a year is not it

my brakes stayed noticably hot for about 10 minutes after i got to the bottom
it was so f-in scary
