you know it has a 66 degree head angle?  This bike has enough travel for gnarly terrain for joe average.  This bike is suffice for 95% of the biking out there.

Problem is that it will be the standard next production run.  Then it will be 54 because Shimano went to 53.  The bike industry is messed up on so many levels.  Another change that nobody wants, needs but is going forward anyways.

Pretty rare for the trails to be dry there so that would be an adjustment for me....  I do like the speed and flow of the trails there (from the youtube vids).

weight isn't an issue for me.  I have a 36 with a Smashpot so it's probably weighs more than a dc.  180mm is too much travel for my EVO and not sure if headtube is strong enough?  I heard the 180mm Boxxer is a pain to setup for riding but may look at it for an option on next bike.  Curious on the 38 though....  RS coming out with a 38mm option as well.

Boost mode is equivalent 2 Olympians pedaling for you.  E-Bikes are more fun going up than down thus that's where the problem is.  Why go up boring trails when you go up JD or Expresso.

I would like see the dc option just for stiffness alone...  going from my Fox36 to my Boxxer is staggering.  So much more control.

We sent a man to the moon over 50 years ago but still can't figure out how to build single crown forks that don't creak....  RS and Fox need to make lightweight 180mm dual crown forks.

DH bikes look like their seat is higher than it actually is.  The seat should fit into your knee when going downhill, not matter what kind of bike.

very valid points....  another point if going to be hiker/biker conflicts on the uphills/flats with the increased speed.  Fine if you are respectful, but a significant portion of mtb's are not.

prices won't fall....  average price of normal bikes keep rising.

but Trump says it will just disappear so no worries....

Spend the $200 and go see Arthur at Suspension Therapy - his analysis of you and your bike suspension will pay back more than a suspension upgrade given that the pike + charger is quite capable.

I've heard mixed reviews...   Jordi from Fox (YouTube) has great setup for forks.

Yip his a kook for sure. One of the worst youtubers out there for outing trails.

funniest thing was him setting up a GoFundMe for financial losses to his YouTube channel from the Pandemic.  I think he has 10 subscribers.

I heard only Blue trails open and no bike park passes... starting up in a couple of weeks.

We need to have tolls on the bridges and/or roads....  too many cars.

lots of vehicles on Cypress last night but trails were empty and lots of nice new stuff up there.  Cheers to the builders!

everyone back to shuttling Seymour and Cypress....  unfortunately 95% of people not wearing masks.  Not very smart people.

no red plates either please.

Fox 38?

Already heard a particular user have gone through 3 CSU's....  high speed compression is also non existent.  Vorsprung has a comprehensive breakdown of the fork.  Boxxer at 180mm is the best option right now but it needs a lot of work to make it work...  like 9 tokens.  Hoping the new 38mm RS is better than the other options.
