Jeeeeesus

Is it just me or are half lid helmets just getting uglier and uglier the past few years?

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 😀

Today looks likely to be the nicest day between now and closing with tomorrow also looking pretty alright. If Garbo doesn't open today/tomorrow, then that'll be it folks. 

Enjoy the sunset!

I seriously regret not coming up today lol

The 36 doesn’t bottom out all the way to the crown. There’s about 1 cm more stanchion exposed than fork travel.

This is the correct answer.

Park is not a huge priority, I was only curious.

I am coming from a Darkside looking for something more nimble. This thing is a beast to pedal.

Thanks, that's some good info.

Any days in the park on them? How are they on the jump trails?

I would be interested in hearing your perspective after you had a go at it on a modern trail bike.

Now that's a colour lol

Bumping this, looking to replace both my bikes with one next year and thinking the Insurgent might be a good way to go, especially since one of my favorite shops is an Evil dealer :)

Anyone have any recent experience on these bikes?

What's 1199? I must be dumb.

When we rode Sabertooth it was definitely not a double black, but I'm fairly certain we rode it on its opening day and it was mint. There was only one steep rooty right hander that might be double black worthy in the wet, maybe. I have no idea what it's like now since that was a while ago. I assume that they predicted it to get much rootier and rockier once it bed in a bit.
