Got the 36 performance elite grip2 29 from my megatower but I want to upgrade to the factory 38 soon... but just bought a reverb axs so got a wait for a while😂
You should make a video about the differences between Santa Cruz’s bikes. The nomad, mega tower, Hightower, and Bronson are all basically the same, so it would be nice to have an explanation. Also include the V10, 5010 and tallboy, and the others
I kinda liked the "49" nomenclature. You could tell who was running 29" tires at a quick glance. However, that is becoming less of a benefit as 29" DH bikes become more common.
I always wondered what was going on with that 49 I’d always see on Fox triple crown forks... I’d see it and think to my self, “dayyyum my 210 lbs. KTM mx bike has a 49 mm on it. Why the heck would anybody need that on their mtb.” So, thanks for clearing that up Jeff!
Depends what your riding. 36 might not be great if you are riding really aggressive endure so 38 would be better + more travel. 40 is olny good for downhill bc of triple clamp.
What would you suggest for an upgrade from my RoxkShox Recon 120mm? I have a hardtail Powerfly 5 and looking for something like 150mm for off road and trail riding. Thanks
@@sarahfelder1373 For a cross country bike yes otherwise I wouldnt recommend it as it will be very flexy for a bike supposed to go fast downhill like for a trailbike or an enduro bike
@@sarahfelder1373 Your xc to a hardtail? If you mean your xc into an aggressive hardtail get a maximum 120mm fork to not compromise the angles too much and get something like a fox 34 or a rs pyke.
If Im upgrading to one of these fox shocks. Say im flying down a washboard dirt road. How much of that washboard can be absorbed into the shock? How much can I expect to feel?
Not really, their shocks may have different stanchion sizes but it’s not really relevant as the rear shock doesn’t have to endure lateral forces. Instead they are differentiated by how they are tuned (more supportive vs more plush), adjustments (HSC and LSC), and how much they weigh
something completely different but I have a question: my tires are worn out so I need to get new ones, I have a 26 inch hardtail and most of the times I'm riding on light/medium loose or muddy undergrounds (single track, some trail). I'm planning to get a Maxxis but I still don't know what to get, which one should I take?
Crazy question, but is the width the same on a 34 vs 36 fork? I'm asking this because I'm wondering in a 2021 Fox Fender that's only made for 36/38 will fit on a 34 if I trim off the Stanton wings?
Hmmm I'm confused. The video mentions a 32 is for a 100m travel fork yet the specs of my bike clearly mention my bike came with 2 options in where 1 of the options is a "Fox 29 FIT CTD adjust QR15 120" I have 2 bikes 1 with a fox 32 with 100m travel and another with afox 32 with 120 and it is clear that they are both 32 mm and its also clear one of fork the stanchions are around 110mm long and the other bike the stanchions are around 139mm long. I must say they are both 2015 bikes. Has something changed in the meantime.
Hello! My query is as follows: I have a fox 40 rim 27.5 inches of the year 2016, can I put lower leg in 29 inches of the year 2020? Is this conversion compatible?
Yo, i got a bike coming with a 36, I’ve been told I should get a kashima and I can afford it, I’d go from 160 to 170mm on a 29, I’m about 140 lbs and I’m an intermediate rider, I ride the North east if that can help, what should I get!
Why are the fox 40 1800$(USD) and the fox 38 450$? I’m looking to get fox 40s for my Sur-Ron so it can take massive jumps but I don’t know if it’s worth the extra 1400$, why so much more? And can the fox 38 handle a surron?
What’s up with the Fox 36 Rhythm fork. Upgradable? Can’t find info on it and I see it spec on new bikes. I read a thread that said it has thicker stiffer stanchions and lowers (but heavier). True? Any info? Thanks
I have the 34 Rhythms which were standard on my Santa Cruz, I asked about upgrades when they went in for a service this year and was told they are 'a basic fork, so that's not possible'
The difference between Factory and Performance Elite is simply the Kashima coating on the Factory version. They have the same amount of adjustability. "Performance" lacks some of the compression and rebound adjustability that you'll find on the factory and performance elite versions.
The amount of travel available with a given model changes with each generation. The 36 used to cover the range of 150 through 180, for example, but the 38 has take over the role for anything more than 160.
Hey guys, I keep buying stuff but I never get any stickers in the boxes. I think the delivery people are ripping me off. You should have a talk with the people you do business with on the deliveries because it can't be just me getting his stickers stolen.
Which Fox fork would you run?
whatever i can afford
The 38
36 😍😍
I would go with the 38
Got the 36 performance elite grip2 29 from my megatower but I want to upgrade to the factory 38 soon... but just bought a reverb axs so got a wait for a while😂
Simple, I would take 1 of each.
Then sell the ones you don't need on PB.
6000 dollars please
Wait a minute
And i would take 30 of each :)
I dont think you have the facilities for that big man
I though the numbers represented the preferred age of the rider....dang
True LMAO, or maximum age
😂
Lmao
lmao
Number of credit card payments?
It would be funny if the video just ended at 0:33
Haha I definitely considered that. Or even just saying, the difference is some are thic and some aren't. Bye.
@@WorldwideCyclery 😂
@@WorldwideCyclery thats what she said
How on earth did the 49 get past the marketing team? It's like they forgot about all their other products 😂
I think they wanted to do something like mix fox 40 and 29 wheels
40, 29
49

I don't think they sell Santa Cruz
The chassis are all very similiar, except tweeked a little like BB height, stack for the total travel that the bike was intended for.
Didn't know you were into mountainbiking Tim cook! How's the business going these days?
Def not the real Tim cook ✊
Honestly maxing out at 160 in my opinion makes the 36 an all mountain fork, and the 38 is now the Freeride/Enduro fork.
160, 140, 120 and 100 is the pump down travel of the stanchion but that number is the sizes of the stanchion.
Oof
I kinda liked the "49" nomenclature. You could tell who was running 29" tires at a quick glance. However, that is becoming less of a benefit as 29" DH bikes become more common.
Can you do this for RockShox?
yes please!
Will do!
Please
@@WorldwideCyclery yeah that would be very good because RockShox is so much more complicated
I was so confused with what the 49 was as the 40 was in a 29er. Thanks for clearing this up!
one of these for rockshox would b very helpful
Could you do a more in depth video on RockShox forks and different models for each one like the select plus and ultimate??
I didn't know. Thankyou. Changing my forks and wasn't sure where to start. Apparently it's with your channel 👊
I remember when my 140mm 32RLC was a big travel all mountain fork.
As a roadie wanting to buy a MTB, this was really helpful. Thanks!
Tf is a roadie
@@dc010487a person who blocks traffic and wonders why people hate them.
Should have called the 36 “all mountian” and the 38 enduro.
Yeah, especially that even many "trail" bikes are being fitted with 36 forks these days.
@@basstrom88 I know mine is

dual crown forks
That Pivot Phoenix makes me feel all tingly inside
I always wondered why the 49 was named like that
I hopefully will get a bike with a 36, but I am just informing myself. Thanks for the good video ✌️
Hey Jeff can you do a review on Hope brakes
Hope Tech 3 E4
Hope Tech 3 X2
Very nice informative video which comes right to the point! Really appreciate!
If you weigh 200 pounds plus and you do heavy trail riding the Fox 38 is for you!
Just take my word for it and buy it. It makes a world of difference.
Short and sweet. Informative. Thank you!
Excellent video! Simple and useful.
Would be great to see a video focussed on the options within one fork, like the top level Koshima (idrk how to spell it) coated ones to the ones below
Good Day Sir. Can I put a 27.5 x 2.80 tires on a Fox 32 SC fork?. Thank You. From Philippines.
Great video, really helpful. One question: how do the recommended uses you mentioned change for heavier bikes like E-bikes?
Depends what your riding. 36 might not be great if you are riding really aggressive endure so 38 would be better + more travel. 40 is olny good for downhill bc of triple clamp.
awesome vid like always.. curious what does the 32mm stepcast acually weigh?
What would you suggest for an upgrade from my RoxkShox Recon 120mm?
I have a hardtail Powerfly 5 and looking for something like 150mm for off road and trail riding. Thanks
I just got a 140mm 34 performance for my trail bike and am counting down the days till it shows up at my door
I have a fox 32 talas 140mm. It’s on a specialized Safire expert 2013. It’s a women’s small.
I'm curious how much better a new fox fork is vs an old one. Like a 2013 fox 36 vs a modern one.
How come I have a 170 mm 36 then
Love the channel keep it up.
Make a video on the difference of the factory and performance and the rhythms
Thanks for clarifying the 49 sillyness!
Which XC bike is that at 1:10? It is absolutely beautiful.😍
I’m somewhat new to mtn biking but I just bought a bike that came stock with a fox 36 fork and it says my front travel is 170mm
You guys should make a review of the tyre Maxxis wetscream
Been looking between 34 and 36. Not sure which one I’ll end up with
my old fox 32 is 150 mm work fine and very lightweight
Nice!
I have a Fox Talas 32 and it's adjustable between 100mm, 120mm, and 140mm. Is it actually safe to run it at 140mm travel?
Great information!!!
As a bigger rider I really want a fox 38...black with custom hot pink and blue stickers
I run a 34 on my trail bike, soon a 36 on my new enduro bike!
Just asking is a 32 Alright?

If Im upgrading to one of these fox shocks. Say im flying down a washboard dirt road. How much of that washboard can be absorbed into the shock? How much can I expect to feel?
i run fox 34 performance, but can i replace original Fox QR axle with kabolt for example and what kind of axle would be suitable? Thank you!
i have the fox 40 on my tricycle, it helps me jump over my moms SUV
Hell yeah.
Which would you recommend for a Marin san quentin hard tail, 140mm, 132lbs, all rounder trail. Fox 34 or lowered 36?
Off-topic question: Are long travel forks longer? Can I increase the travel by replacing the fork without increasing total fork length?
Check axle to crown length
Do they do the same thing on rear shocks. With different size stanchions.
Not really, their shocks may have different stanchion sizes but it’s not really relevant as the rear shock doesn’t have to endure lateral forces. Instead they are differentiated by how they are tuned (more supportive vs more plush), adjustments (HSC and LSC), and how much they weigh
The terry crews Clip was priceless

Love the 34 120 mil set for xc!
The fox 36 is used on dirt jumpers too
I have a 32 Factory which has 120mm of travel... so, there isn't a maximum travel of 100mm for Fox 32.

Mondraker calls my bike with a 38 a super Enduro bike, so I guess it caught on
A better video would be the difference between the Rhythm and Performance/Factory particularly the spring.
It's real easy; if you are in NA and you got a Rhythm 34, you are boned. If you got a Rhythm 36, there is some hope for your fork's future.
