Reba vs Fox Float 32 vs Fox Float 34

[Wayne pudding Mol]

Superb weight!

not going to pretend I'm not a weight weenie despite packing an extra 5kgs (ok 10)

 

I currently have the 32SC and with the way I ride its more than I'm ever going to need but the new planned bike is designed around 120 travel so I got this.  Maybe it will encourage me to up my skills (or start typing in the broken bones threads)

The kind of cross over Marathon/Trail forks and bikes is really quite a nice sweet spot for many riders out there. Why save a kg by riding a XCO race bike when a 120/130mm travel ?XCM/Trail bike is more fun, versatile and forgiving?

If not racing elites, or age category colours why limit yourself to a more nervous, focused machine?

That 34SC is such a sensible buy if you can afford it and the rest of the bike its attached to!

I have been collecting parts for a few months for a new bike build early 2020 and wanted to boast about them later but this seems a good moment to show this off - that's out the box, uncut

Mine was with the steerer cut to 170mm and manual lockout.

Seems like a good budget option, bit sure on it's availability yet.

 

We won't see them here for a while yet, and my guess is they'll be somewhere between the Lyrik and Pike chassis in terms of stiffness, but roughly the weight of a sheet anchor.

 

Definitely looking forward to having an easily serviceable budget trail option out there though.
