Fox Forks

            For 2012 Fox has a new 29er specific fork with 34mm diameter inner legs. The ‘34’ will be offered in Float and TALAS variants with up to 140mm of travel and should improve steering accuracy on big wheeled trail and all-mountain bikes. They have also introduced a one-piece cast 6/4 titanium crown and steerer assembly for their range-topping Float 32. It should save around 81g compared to the traditional alloy crown/steerer, taking their lightest fork down to 1,320g. Fox will offer it in 80, 100 and 120mm travel versions with either Terralogic, RLC or remote lockout dampers. Also new are the SKF/Fox designed seals and wider use of the dark gold Kashima coat on both forks and rear shocks, with the aim of improving small bump compliance. The new seals will feature throughout the range while the Kashima coat will appear on the upper end ‘Factory’ level forks and rear shoks.
