I've been racking my brain for a while as to what all the different sub-names meant for suspension components. (Rhythm, Performance... ) So, as someone who's still going through their learning curve, you get a HUGE thanks. This was very well explained. 👌👏👏👏

As a roadie I really appreciate this video. It came up as a sponsored ad but I couldn't leave a comment. I searched for it separately because I found it totally illuminating. I own a bike shop that is roadie focused but from time to time I have to field questions about forks/shocks. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into making this video!

I used to be a RS fan. But, when I bought a new Trek EXe, I made the switch to Fox and I’m never going back. Fox suspension is super easy to set up and it just works better and it’s more tunable.

I’ve ran top spec kashima 34 160mm and top spec Lyrik 180mm IMHO Fox felt better initially but needed serviced fairly regularly to maintain the feel, I’ve had my 180mm Lyrik for 2 years and it still doesn’t need serviced, so it’s rockshox for me 💯

Ive supported the shock industry since the beginning. Id say that they got things dialed around mid 2010s. Before then. It didn't take much to blow out the internals with some aggressive riding. Rebuilds were common after a weekend or two of riding. Now days, i can go a couple seasons before a rebuild is needed. Though to be fair. Im not casing jumps like when I started 😅

I just serviced my 2008 Rock Shox Recon for the first time. The oil was not even dirty inside. no bushing play. I love the lower end forks by rock shox and fox for the simple reliability. They may not be the best, but they save me money in the long run not having to source a 17 year old rubber bladder.

I am Team SR Suntour, how come no one talks about it. SR Suntour also have high-end forks like the AXON, DUROLUX and RUX. Currently have an 2 MTB bikes, one with a RockShox fork and another one with an SR Suntour fork. Like the SR Suntour better for it easy tunability, simplicity and low maintenance. Currently looking for an SR Suntour fork to replace the RockShox. The SR Suntour AXON was fitted to both Olympic GOLD medalist.

I run a rockshox right now, simply because I got an amazing deal on a fork that I just couldn't pass up and rockshox was pre installed in the rear. but I still prefer the feel of a fox fork. and I can't even put my finger on it, they just feel that little biit better in my opinion. so what is my next step you might ask? the answer is a Cane creek coil shock in the rear to make my bike into even more of a frankenbike.

rockshox fs. they are way more innovative now these days then fox, with the release of the flight attendent series changing the whole entire xc scene. As well as the electric dropper posts that fox just recenetly made while rockshock has been way ahead. I have also found rockshock to be more reliable.

U couldn't be more wrong. There are 2 fox's companies. They are somehow connected to each other. But first one specializes in clothes, helmets etc. While 2nd FOX specializes in just suspension to any kind of vehicle 👍
