Eugene Posted December 31, 2021 Share I notice a lot of forks have a number on the side, usually a 32. What does this mean? Is it the travel in inches? thebob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted December 31, 2021 Share No it's not, its the size of the stantions in mm's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoG Posted December 31, 2021 Share Like @NotSoBigBen said, it is the diameter of the stations. Thinner ones is "lighter" for XC, thicker ones "stronger" are for trail & down hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebob Posted December 31, 2021 Share All wrong. It's a model designation for Fox forks, which is linked to stanchion diameter for their fork models. If it indicated stanchion diameter only then everything from a Pike to a Boxxer would be a Rockshox 35 Edited December 31, 2021 by thebob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaGearA Posted December 31, 2021 Share Outright numbers imply Fox or Ohlins Only rockshox forks i know that include number in their names are the sid/reba/recon 35's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted December 31, 2021 Share Fox give distinction after the number ohlins before Fox eg 32 FS Ohlins eg RXF 36 TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Hansen Posted December 31, 2021 Share Manitou Magnum Comp 34 34mm Stanchions for 27+/29 wheel size but in this instance I believe it is to distinguish it from the original Manitou Magnum that was a 26" fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted December 31, 2021 Share Thanks, it makes sense. I have also seen this number on Suntour forks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeGenie Posted January 1, 2022 Share It denotes the barometric pressure needed to engage full travel necessary while engaged in a low compression setup while only using 3 clicks for rampage towards vector. That’s if you’ve cleaned your seals regularly. LazyTrailRider, TheoG, Zebra and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
