I have the Rockshox Recon RL as well and it makes that sound as well with -4 clicks of rebound. I seen somewhere that this is common with this fork. I used the Rockshox Trail Head app and for my weight (200lbs with my gear on) it needs 120lbs psi and -4 clicks of rebound. Simply turning down the rebound may eliminate the noise some but it will not be set up properly for the riders intended weight. I will just deal with the "whoosh" noise.
fox forks have this squish sound and im actually a fan of it. i can hear my forks working and everytime ive got them set up, theyve come back to me with the rebound set to make this noise (i told the shop i do a lot of jumps and harsh landings aswell as trials)
got a recon silver rl on my bike and was wondering if its supposed to make that noise, thanks for confirming that it is in fact supposed to make that noise!
😑its just the oil for the rebound dont a just the rebound for the sound you need it you dont want a pogo stick or jour fork not comback fast for the next drop
Rockshox in general make that squishy sound, even the high end part of their line, my 2022 Pike Ultimate does it. I have a new 2023 Lyrik on order which has the buttercups (a 2023 upgrade) that should eliminate the squishy sound. We'll see.
So it’s suppose to make this noise because it’s slowing down the rebound. Now everyone is opening the rebound wide open so they don’t hear any noise but have now made the fork most likely incorrect for their weight.
Do yourself a favor and ditch that fork and find yourself a good deal on a used Fox fork. I switched the forks on both of my Fuses and it made the bike so much better. I have the Fox rhythm 34 130mm on my fuses. The rhythm is an OEM fork that most of the higher end completes come with and people like to upgrade and you can typically find them used for around $250-300 used in great condition unless you just buy a brand new fork. Changing the fork and the wheelset really makes a huge difference in these bikes and they can rip. I highly suggest upgrading the fork.
@@MichianaMadman they’re out there. Like I said, you cannot go wrong with a Fox fork. I have to ask though, how did you crack your 27.5? Do you recall? I just picked up this one recently and haven’t really had much time to ride it yet, however I Did happen to notice that this 2020 frame says ‘a1 aluminum’ vs my 2016 fuse that says ‘M4 premium aluminum’ so I’m hesitant to ride the a1 as hard as I usually. Do you remember how yours cracked or what caused it?
Nope. Air is getting in the damper lower leg. Try tightening the 15mm nut on the damper side. If that doesn’t do it, flip the bike over, have a new crush washer for the damper side nut, remove nut, add new crush washer with some SRAM butter or Slick Honey, retorque to spec. Then, as one small 1/5 turn to that. That should seal up the leg.

Great comment, I had to pin it.
Thanks, I bought some off the used market and noticed this sound, your few minutes saved me some unwelcome stress

Oh god, lucky to find your video, got a second hand brand new rockshox Reba, the squishy sound got my stress level high. Thanks for sharing!
No problem!
Thank you !!!!. Solved a problem ive mulled about for weeks.
You’re welcome, glad it helped!

Thanks i had this too

Let us know if it helps!
@@MichianaMadman Just to follow up, the 2023 Lyrik Ultimate is dead silent.
Just got a Lyrik Ultimate 2023 too. Makes a lot of squish sounds when just compressing on the floor with my hands.
Haha 😆 it worked on my brand new fox 38. Thank you.
Thanks, fixed the problem
Awesome!
I did that with mine and it fixed it until i tested my forks the next mlrning and the sound was back

It won’t change what weight the fork has been set to, just how quickly it returns to position.

Thanks for the advice! I’m going to start searching for a used one.

It was right on the weld and Specialized said they were having recurrent issues at the same spot. It wasn’t from a crash but just riding.
@@MichianaMadman damn. That makes me even more scared to push this bike because I ride pretty hard.
I got a Rockshox Judy on mine and it makes the same sound, kinda wondering if that's just a quirk with their bottom end shocks
I had the Judy Silver TK on my last bike and initially it made the “whoosh” sound but went away.
You just opened the rebound. Good luck in your next jump.
So far so good!
@@MichianaMadman 🤦🏽♂️
The video was put out in 2022. The bike has seen a lot of rides since then.
I appreciate your feedback though, enjoy your riding season. ✌️
So… that open or close the rebound. Isnt fix the problem..
Some forks need some miles before they are at their proper performance.
Could you make a video if the the fork doesn't have that what could be do?
Me too my fork doesn't have that thing
Letme see what I can do for you two!
That sound is called oil and it actually has a function 🤦🏽
Don’t worry. The oil is still in the fork.
