Nothing like a crisp snap.

Way to gloss over the intent of the article but focusing on something completely superficial.

The Z1 uses the exact same air side topcaps as the regular 36. I know that Fox was using identical stanchions on both sides for a couple years (and it's unlikely that's changed now) then presumably the topcap threading for the dampers would be the same as the regular 36s also. I would be very surprised if the Grip2 damper didn't work.

The inner stanchion wall is a different size on the Z1/Rhythm forks but that really makes no difference in regards to the damper, just the air spring unless I'm missing something.

They use the same CSU and air springs as the 36 Rhythm forks.

Those are some gnarly bails... jesus

I wore mine commuting for 1 winter and the black inner liner is already severely torn up. Only rode it mountain biking once, it only gets about 5k riding each day 5 days a week. I'm pretty disappointed.

It was a warranty replacement for my Chute jacket from last year (zipper failuer on the Chute) so I doubt I can warranty it again. The fit and look are great and the function was great up until it fell apart but now it leaks like a sieve. Sadface.

What's with all the skidding?

Let's see some video 😀

Dry and dusty by the sounds of it, you can hear the lack of traction in some spots!

Enduro? Looks just like trail riding to me.

I don't mean to sound like I'm criticizing the evolution nickel, this is strictly a me problem :)

lol DM went from "I can occasionally clear one or two of these on a perfect day" to just "nope"

All the work looks great though!

All kidding aside, did any one get hurt.

Wait, what's going on?

I've never ridden either of those options but I've always thought the rock roll to the left looked much better than that bullshit left hander lol

That big rock on In Deep has soooo much grip when it's dry. If you have super tacky tires I would think you might even be able to come pretty much to a full stop. You really could crawl down it if you wanted to.

Is being a stickler about the rules more important than the safety of 2 poorly prepared people?

Ddean I'll sell you a medium Banshee Darkside instead of a Slayer ;) 

Fox 36 @ 180mm, Hope hubs, cranks and BB, XT drivetrain and brakes, X2,

Chromag Wide-angle and Banshee Darkside, both kind of niche bikes.

Might be tough.

Selling both my mountain bikes, just wondering what kind of success you guys have had at different times of the year. 

Seems like spring has been good in the past. Any thoughts?

Humans are trash.

It makes me uncontrollably mad. All of the amazing things we've accomplished are completely valueless in the face of the destruction of our only habitat. We are truly fucked and there is nothing we can do about it. Humans are too selfish and the average person has literally no control in the grand scheme of things when compared to the power of huge companies just pumping endless shit in to the environment with no signs of stopping or change.
