We were tempted to run the FOX at mm, but for the sake of a direct comparison with the Pike, we went for mm instead. The notion of a bed-in period seems to be non-existent with the new 36; the almost complete absence of friction that this fork exhibits from the very outset is just amazing. From the first metres of our very first ride, you could have sworn this fork already had 10 hours of riding on it, so good is the small bump response.
Whereas the CTD system feels like a trade-off between bump response and support, a few clicks of low-speed compression made a huge difference, keeping the 36 supported under brakes, without losing any of its ridiculous bump response. Occasionally you ride a product that completely changes the way you see or ride a trail, and the 36 is one such product.
The feeling was that our front tyre was glued to the ground, affording us more braking traction and cornering bite, and the roughness of the terrain just did not translate to the bars, leaving us more relaxed and feeling more fluid on the bike. On our Norco, already a super stiff bike, the addition of the 36 just took it to the next level.
Line choice became as irrelevant as an election promise. This fork simply does not flinch! No reviews yet Write a Review. Describe Your Long Travel:.

Have some extra spare change laying around and want a nice setup. Was thinking the fox floats up front, and maybe an elka rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options ClaudeMachining Posted August 31, That usually results in a stiffer setup that feels fast when I'm setting it up but gets tiring pretty quickly. If I'm not bracketing I'll set spring rate and then rebound to my own preferences, and then use the manufacturers recommendations for low and high speed compression as a starting point.
Sorry, didn't word it properly - when you are bracketing and like your first step above, rebound is set and HSC is bracketed, does that mean you only adjust HSC and leave LSC alone? Would I be right in saying both would be at full open on your first run? Got it pretty nice, that bracket method is a pain in the ass but it works good when sessioning bits.
I followed this advice too: Udi said:. Last edited: Dec 23, Mar 14, 4, 1, The HS:LS ratio I've discussed here a lot in the past is useful if you want to get the most out of these excellent dampers.
If you give the search function a good thrash you'll find more info than you ever wanted to know. Everyone I know who a knows suspension, b actually rides fast, and c has a choice i. Grip2 avoided by choice when given that choice , interestingly. Udi said:. Feb 9, 1, SWE. Also followed your advice for a similar hs:ls balance on the rc4, really happy with it too. That shock seems to work really good at slow rebound settings, although the tune on mine isn't stock.
