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 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.

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!

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 💯

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 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!

@bikesonlineАй бұрын
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.

Both are great but RS is easier to service on your own.

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.
@bikesonlineАй бұрын
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!
What about the Domain? It's still a pretty prominent fork out there. You completely missed it in your line up.

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
