And Now On To The Rear Shox... The biggest noise in this area is being made about the new DHX model. The heart of this new "Aggressive All Mountain Freeride and DH riding" shock is The Boost Valve. This magic valve is located in the piggyback reservoir and claims to have finally "decoupled" (ie. made independent of each other) the tuning for both pedalling effeciency and for bottom-out resistance. It is also claimed to be easy to set up and adjust on-the-fly. The range of adjustment on offer is so broad and independent that Fox's testers have had little need to make pressure adjustments (ie. faffing with a shock pump) even when riding on extremely varied terrain. Weight is not too bad either (approx 400g). Less dramatic news for the FLOAT series of shocks with the emphasis seeming to be on refinement. The main aims of this slight revamp appears to have been to make them even lighter (a fairly impressive 195g is claimed for all models) and making the adjustments easier and more intuitive. The main air chamber has a higher volume than before which should result in a lower compression ratio (ie. can be more linear if desired). New graphics have been slapped on them all too. The FLOAT RP3 is the flagship model in the range and comes with 3-way on-the-fly adjustable ProPedal damping (whose knob is "very easy to access and use even with gloves on" apparently), adjustable rebound damping and an adjustable spring rate. The FLOAT R offers factory set ProPedal damping only, adjustable rebound damping and an adjustable spring rate. The basic FLOAT has factory set ProPedal and rebound damping but does offer an adjustable spring rate.     DHX 5.0/Float RP3 /Float R/Float RP3 AVA www.singletrackworld.com/article.php?sid=1381 |

[glow=gold,2,300]FOX Reveals Its New Generation Freeride Fork [/glow] (click for the article...)Fox announce a totally new fork in their '05 product range. If you like to go for a woody huck as well as a bit of all day long mile-munching then this could be the fork you've been waiting for... FOX Racing Shox have just sent us details of their next generation long travel trail (did someone say "freeride?") fork. Itfs called the 36. "This is an interesting product category for the industry,h elaborates Mario Galasso (FOX Bike division's head honcho). gItfs a category of bike that wants to be lightweight, but with the travel the bikes will have, they will be ridden very hard. We designed this fork to the same criteria we designed our new DH fork to. We will offer this fork in thru axle only because we feel QR style dropouts for the combination of intended usage and 8 inch brake rotors is not a sound choice.h The fork is called The 36 after the diameter of its upper tubes (36mm - duh). By using such over-over-sized pipes these forks should be capable of handling extreme loads but also offer a pretty decent strength-to-weight ratio. No doubt steering precision will be improved ever so slightly too.  They're big and beefy. Click to enlarge. The 36 is equipped with TALAS adjustable travel system, allowing the rider to adjust their travel from a capable 110mm all the way through to a monstrous 150mm. An impressive sub-5lb weight has been claimed for the single crown, 1-1/8 steer configuration. Similar to the new FOX DH fork, the 36 will only be available with a stepped 20mm thru-axle which as well as being more big-rotor friendly will allow the lower leg to settle into a lower friction point. The 36 damper system provides externally adjustable rebound and compression damping. gThe 36 damper contains several new technologies for us,h stated Brian Lampman, Fork Designer for FOX Racing Shox. gAll we can say about the new system at this point is that it will result in improved performance with intuitive rider interfaces.h Not giving much away there then. But even without a ten page exploded diagram of how the insides work it is already clear from the basics that this fork will be a very exciting prospect for those riders out there who want to get burly without paying too much of a weight penalty. Several lucky FOX racers will be riding and testing The 36 throughout the rest of this summer. Production models will be available in late August (in the US anyway). Look for more details soon on www.foxracingshox.com. |

Question lang po.
Would you have any idea on what the different letters on Fox forks names stands for. I know the number corresponds with the travel and they used to use RLC for rebound, lockout and compression. But right now they use RLT and X. Do you know what they stand for.
What is the difference with RLC with RLT and with X. Also they use Float for air sprung suspension and Vanilla for coil sprung suspension. What about those with F100 and F80 forks? I would assume that they are air sprung.
Please forgive my ignorance.

I would assume that they are air sprung. Please forgive my ignorance. Will try to answer you on whats on top of head right now. RLC, rebound, lockout and compression (9-position, externally adjustable, Low-Speed Compression damping) RLT doesn't have the Compression adjustment like the RLC but still has the lockout blowoff Threshold adjustment X are the Terralogic Forks; " FOX's proprietary new inertia-valve mechanism is dubbed "TerraLogic ". Incorporated into the X damper, the TerraLogic inertia-valve system uses a brass sleeve (BrassMass) to keep oil from flowing through the compression circuits providing a locked-out mode when you don't need the suspension and then a fully active mode when the terrain becomes rough. A unique aspect of this new technology is that TerraLogic can tell whether the compressive forces are coming from the rider (pushing down when pedaling out of the saddle) or from the terrain (creating bump forces at the wheel). With this technology, the rider gets the best of all worlds and the most efficient lockout system ever made. " |

warlock, tulo laway naman! hehehe, brad...anong difference sa float and the talas? Hey, I just stumbled on your question here, this is way overdue, bet you know the difference by now ;D Float has the Ultra low-stiction FLOAT Air-Spring System and it comes in specific travels only e.g. 80,100, or 130 and like the Vanilla it can internally adjusted. TALAS has the Travel Adjustable Linear Air Spring which I know you have, said TALAS Damping circuit works in unison with Air-Spring System Thats the reason TALAS is always more expensive than the float. |

This babies are out!!!  The DHX is a coil-over piggyback damper that features a number of adjustments that are similar to the Curnutt and Fifth Element SPV systems. Although the internals of the FOX DHX Boost valve shock are much different than the patented Curnutt damper, the air valve, platform adjustment and bottom-out dial of the Fox dials are arranged in similar fashion. This should be a boon to both professional and garage tuners alike, because if you are familiar with one brand, you will understand the other. BOOST VALVE “Boost ValveErefers to a piston inside the DHX’s piggyback reservoir that restricts the flow of fluid into the reservoir during the shock’s compression stroke. The Boost Valve increases compression damping towards the end of the shock’s stroke to prevent harsh bottoming. RIDE HEIGHT AND BOTTOM OUT Adding or subtracting air pressure via a Schrader air valve on the end of the reservoir tunes the ride height of the shock and sets the average bottoming resistance for an individual rider’s weight and aggressiveness. END-STROKE PROGRESSIVENESS Turning the blue cap on the Schrader-valve end increases or decreases the ending-stroke compression damping—all the way out makes the shock feel more linear and all the way in causes the compression damping to ramp up sharply at the end.  STABLE-PLATFORM ADJUSTMENT The smaller dial on the opposite side of the piggyback chamber controls the “ProPedalEpedaling platform. Screw it inwards to reduce pedal bobbing. WHAT DID WE THINK? The Boost Valve DHX is a big step up in all performance realms. There is no doubt that Fox is onto a good thing. The DHX rides smoother than previous ProPedal dampers at low speeds and seems bottomless when boulders are big. Because the DHX shock’s critical adjustments are external and easy to comprehend, tuning the shock to perfection can be done within ten minutes or the first mile of trail—whichever comes first. Comparing the DHX to the present contenders in the stable-platform market the prototype Fox shock is on par in the platform department, easier to adjust, and rides at least as smoothly on the trail. Presently, only DHX coil/over shocks will feature the Boost Valve. The DHX line includes three price levels and will replace the present Vanilla shocks for all but selected OEM bike lines. The DHX shock will hit the market mid-season. Look forward to a lightweight air-shock with the Boost Valve in the not too distant future. Want more? Try www.foxracingshox.com  ;D |
