Cheers dude! 🤘🏼🎉

Great to hear. Ohlins is definitely a favourite here.

And better IMHO

Thankyou! We have done a few more suspension videos. More to come!!

Cheers! Much appreciated

I actually feel the ohlin is better for tuneability, essentially you have smaller increments, where as the fox you cant adjust much once you're at your weight limit...for example on my 40's i have like 5psi to play with before its too hard or too soft. I would imagine the ohlin would be like 10-12psi so you get a much finer tune

Cheers dude! 🤘🏼🎉

Cheers dude! Careful what you wish for! Haha

Cheers dude! More to come!

You won’t regret it. Get those settings dialled.

Ahh damn it!!

😂 Appreciate it Jacob!

Noted. Thanks for watching!

Yer its all the same stuff just miniature! Some of tech runs both ways though. Im sure theres tons they are learning from having MTB product. We do off the shelf Ohlins builds on our site and they are rad! Not to say its the 100% best for everyone but we really do think its the best stuff!

@@BRINKUKthey dominate the motorcycle category so I can only think they have moved into Mtb to learn more, my wallet is here shaking and saying don’t do it!

Yer we’ve tried both ways. If you want it more supple off the top it’s good but accelerates the fork into the mid stroke so pros and cons. Personally I prefer the fork to ride a little higher so I leave mine in on the 38.

@@BRINKUK Thank you! Cheers!

I was gonna ask the same question, and had just come across that same review. I’m a lighter rider at 160lbs with gear and have an RXF38 on the way. I’ll experiment with it stock and see how it is and if it’s too harsh off the top or not with it. @BRINKUK Is it easy to remove the negative chamber spacer if needed?

​@@BRINKUK @timschafer3820 Does the RXF36 have the same negative chamber spacer that can be removed?

@@mtboyan1817 yea it does!

Which versions of forks did you ride and which brand did you prefer?

@@Polemicist_ I prefer Ohlins overall despite the price. I do believe though that aggressive trail or park riding is where Ohlins shines most. Before I tried Ohlins I’ve had/ridden Rockshox Lyrik, Zeb (an excellent fork!) and Boxxer as well as Fox 34, 36 and 38. The main difference between the others to me was that although Fox and Rockshox are softer off the top, Ohlins has a more noticeable and more confidence inspiring mid-stroke support ie the suspension feels like it’s always there (especially on jumps and drops), was easier to find an adjustment that works as Ohlins uses a design approach called “usable range” which results in it being almost difficult to find a setting that doesn’t work on an Ohlins and finally, has a progressivity ramp adjustment chamber instead of using annoying tokens.

@@BrandonViani Damn, okay. Thanks for that info.

Thank you so much for the insight. I am kind of new to Mountain biking. But I have a lower quality brand of fox on right now. ( rhythm ) . I have been reading a lot about the Ohlins forks and Shocks. Your comments are definitely making me go towards Ohlins. Also, I think it would look really awesome on my turbo levo, which is all black with yellow grips, yellow pedals, and yellow stem from Pembree.

@@shawnstradwick5637 yeah that would look sharpe! Although the Fox Rhythm is a great value fork (supposedly having the same internals as the Marzocchi Bomber) and won’t hold you back at all, if you have the margin in your budget, the Ohlins is simply next-level. Also Ohlins forks are on sale all over the place right now eg JensonUSA, etc. The Ohlins RXF36 would likely be the upgrade from your Rhythm.

I’d recommend looking into a coil conversion for your current fork. Push and Vorsprung both make a lot of aftermarket kits. Running a coil tends to have better small bump sensitivity but less progression when compared to an air sprung fork. Marzocchi makes a Z1 Coil that’s pretty good as well. I have my Fox Performance 38 set up at 22% sag and slightly slower rebound than recommended and fully open compression, it handles chatter and big hits very well at that setup without much compromise on either end.

Consistently lives up to the hype. A rare thing these days!

We did it a fair amount on the 36 fork but I find the 38 rides a little nicer with the spacer in. Probably due to the bigger lower leg volume. Awesome forks!!

@@BRINKUK yea I was just asking as I got a shot of some ohlins 38s and struggled to find the balance between small bump and support. I could feel the damper was absolutely mint I just couldn’t figure the air pressures out to get what I was after.

They aren’t the fork for small bump sensitivity off the top but at sag they should be more than supple with the right setup. Sometimes it’s worth sizing the bushes. We can do that for you! 👍🏻

Hello David! Are you asking about open bath dampers Vs cartridge?

Both use coil spring IFPs to pressurise the fluid

Maybe we should do a Zeb Vs Z1 tear down?!

yer we know! I just said it when we filmed but the idea was for someone else to ride them not me and then discuss what they thought of each fork. Not really a blind test. Not sure you could really and keep it safe! haha

haha cheaper that way too!

Noted. Thanks for watching! Very much appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll re watch it with my editing head on! 👍🏻🎉
