I've been racking my brain for a while as to what all the different sub-names meant for suspension components. (Rhythm, Performance... ) So, as someone who's still going through their learning curve, you get a HUGE thanks.
This was very well explained.
👌👏👏👏
I felt the other way, couldn't get my head around rockshoxs but fox always made sense to me
Thanks so much! We took our time mapping out the script. Cheers to you!
As a roadie I really appreciate this video. It came up as a sponsored ad but I couldn't leave a comment. I searched for it separately because I found it totally illuminating. I own a bike shop that is roadie focused but from time to time I have to field questions about forks/shocks. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into making this video!
We are honored that we could be of help to you! Cheers!
I tried Fox when I started to mountain bike and made me fall in love with mountain biking. So team Fox for me!
That's awesome! They make amazing products!
I used to be a RS fan. But, when I bought a new Trek EXe, I made the switch to Fox and I’m never going back. Fox suspension is super easy to set up and it just works better and it’s more tunable.
Very nice! We can agree that Fox is quite tunable.
hmm, i hear a lot about RS being easier to set up and forget than fox.... meanwhile im here rocking a DVO
There used to be another … long ago. I’m still using a marzocchi fork on one of my bikes.
Ive supported the shock industry since the beginning. Id say that they got things dialed around mid 2010s.
Before then. It didn't take much to blow out the internals with some aggressive riding. Rebuilds were common after a weekend or two of riding. Now days, i can go a couple seasons before a rebuild is needed. Though to be fair. Im not casing jumps like when I started 😅
I’ve ran top spec kashima 34 160mm and top spec Lyrik 180mm IMHO Fox felt better initially but needed serviced fairly regularly to maintain the feel, I’ve had my 180mm Lyrik for 2 years and it still doesn’t need serviced, so it’s rockshox for me 💯
Great breakdown!
Glad it was helpful!
I have a rockshox recon select deluxe + which I love
Manitou. I really don’t know which one I would go with if I had to choose RS/Fox. They’re both doing some interesting things lately
I just serviced my 2008 Rock Shox Recon for the first time. The oil was not even dirty inside. no bushing play. I love the lower end forks by rock shox and fox for the simple reliability. They may not be the best, but they save me money in the long run not having to source a 17 year old rubber bladder.
That makes sense! Great job on the DIY!
I have a RZR with Fox Live valve x3 suspension and it is amazingly plush and I just bought A transition MTB with Fox shocks knowing it will be plush.
There both great brands down to the person on what you are use to the new 3.1 damper are brilliant in the rockshox
We have heard that damper is incredible!
I have s set og Ohlins on my bike, where do they sit in relation to Fox and Rocshox?
Ohlins is a premium brand just like Fox and Rockshox! They just don’t have as strong of a presence in terms of being specced on bikes from the factory.
ROCK SHOX, mas variedad de repuestos, mecanica mas simple, mantenciones las hago yo mismo, repuestos de bajo valor, en gama alta son excepcionales por el precio que cuestan.
I run a rockshox right now, simply because I got an amazing deal on a fork that I just couldn't pass up and rockshox was pre installed in the rear. but I still prefer the feel of a fox fork. and I can't even put my finger on it, they just feel that little biit better in my opinion.
so what is my next step you might ask? the answer is a Cane creek coil shock in the rear to make my bike into even more of a frankenbike.
Yes it's all a matter of preference, and they definitely do feel slightly different! As for the coil, that should spice things up a bit some more! Enjoy!
@@bikesonline thanks 😊
Maximuuuummmm... ROCKSHOX....Pleaaassseeee!!!!!!😱😱😱😱😱😱💯💯💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍👍Lets Goooooooo!!!!!🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴
Don't forget the Rockshox Domain, mine has a Zeb charger 2.1 damper......Zebain🤣
That’s awesome! ZEBAIN - that’s brilliant. 😂
Rockshox because the fonts are edgier and more badass.
They definitely have a great design language!
I run Ohlins but if i had to choose between these 2 id go Rockshox
You should do a video of SRAM vs Shimano MTB drivetrains
Team fox
Awesome work Woman!!!!!
Great job and Thank YOU!!!!!
RS seems to be a little more buttery to me. Can't go wrong with either tho.
Rubber Side Down Peeps!!!!
What about the Domain? It's still a pretty prominent fork out there. You completely missed it in your line up.
There were a couple honorable mentioned missed like revelation and domain. You’re right!
I've owned plenty of both ,but must say I've never had any 'creaking' crown issues with Rockshox forks,When I have with Fox....So..........Ha!!
that's interesting!
fox Kashima is a gimmik, rockshox for me is better as i can easly work on them and upgrade at home
Rockshox is definitely a great option for the home mechanic!
Both are great but RS is easier to service on your own.
Rockshox
like rockshox
team fox bc better made better website and better design and i almost forgot about factory foxes thts shreds
Right on!
ZEB ultimate. Charger 2.1
Buttersmooth. Bought it new for 500€ (dont understand why there are so many on the market..) super easy working on it. Fox-> expensive. Special tools..fancy kashima. i dont like it
The Zeb is an amazing fork for sure!
Neither! Been riding Manitou since '94! And they're better than ever! No need for tokens with IRT, and travel adjustable without needing a new damper for each travel range!
Sounds like a nice piece of kit!
Used both, Same thing different brand but one is just pricier.
Understandable assessment! They can feel similar at times!
ohlins
Rockshox easier to rebuild fork
It is nice to have kit that is easy to work on!
If it isn't a Zeb...It's anythings Fox over RS.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
fox fox fox
budget rockshox and fox are not even in the same tier. Went from RS 35 gold RL to 36 rhythm. The 35s feel like a toy in comparison. Rebound and compression adjustment literally does nothing on the 35s
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 36 Rhythm is a good one!
Rockshox is cheaper so its better
In us only in Asian countries rockshox very expensive
@@jesterguinanao5929 Yeah in asia rockshox ar expensive
Depending where you are, you definitely can score some sweet deals on rockshox!
@@bikesonline the consumer price will be the right answer not the good deals rockshox always not good on price category because of its color and many versions. Fox is very expensive second hand market or good deals. That's why many Asian raider of mtb prepare the fox because of its value. Sr santour Easy to purchase on asian countries and manitou is the wow factor on Asian countries
@@jesterguinanao5929 sr suntour durolox in the Philippines is cheap is only $350
RockShock........Fox is a brand of shirt to motor sports ...hahahah
Haha! Well that is true!
