Team vs WC

[Kntr]

I've been riding a 2010 Boxxer Team for 3 seasons now. Id like to give the WC a try. How different do they feel? Has anyone went from a Team to a WC and hated the WC? How about reliability compared to the Team? Please only post if you have time on both. Any and all info please.

Don't. The WC has less good small bump compliance and less midstroke support. The only plus is that it's a bit lighter. If you want to improve the fork, drop an Avy cart in it. Or dump it and buy a Dorado.

Or dump it and buy a Dorado.

This. The Dorado is the best fork I have ridden period.

Team feels better and is more reliable. I have had both and wouldn't go back to air.

[Mo(n)arch]

Buy a RC and put the AVY card in.
Look out for some offers. It's possible to get them under 500€/$.
Best package possible.

the dorado is a dream i ride it now since 6 mt first with a dobermann than a M9 and now on my V10c..
i never feel small bumps in my hands and the best is the middle travel support, you can blow down steep deep steps the fork doesn't dive this fork stays in form.
steep berms like on the red track in "Morgins PDS" with his monster brake pumps after you blow out of this track the only thing you have is a BIG BIG Smile on your face and you are prod of your DORADO!!

the hydraulic bottom out system is fantastic to!
i never feel that the dorado is wobbly in the front axle area.

wc is the same as the team damping wise just air sprung with all it's compromises. I'd recommend a 888 evo

Lighter and stiffer, buttery smooth and easily tuneable

I'm on the 2010 WC with the Avy cart and to be honest if you asked the same question a yeah ago I'd recommend it but for the last year I've had more problems with the solo air I can imagine. If I get a good priced dorado I'll probably jump on it right away.

the 888 is okay for rider less 88kg otherwise the spring steps are hugh.. the next harder, or only harder spring is for rider over 100kg there is nothing for rider between 88-95kg.

[tabletop84]

But you can additionally reduce oil levels or take out the o-rin or the whole va-unit to get the fork more linear.

Just recently a guy in a german forum weighing 105 kg complained that the extra hard spring feels to hard.

I'd like some info on the boxxer team and boxxer world cup.

Get an avy cart, a dorado, or a 888.....completely irrelevant advice to the original question.

Britt I have 2 fox 40's and love them both. (2011 and 2012) More irrelevant advice to join the irrelevant advice bandwagon.

[tabletop84]

Well it's save to say that the only benefit is that it would be lighter because the damping cartridge is essentially the same. An air spring can never be as linear and offer small bump sensivity like a coil spring.

The only benefit could be that if he buys a newer my I think they made some supple changes to the damper and the earlier boxxer models hat quality/alingnment issues resulting in stiction.

air spring suck.
i have a coil boxxer (used to run an air totem). difference is night and day.
friend of mine got a wc to replace his team. ditched the wc after 5 rides and went back to coil.

[Kntr]

hmmm. This is pretty much what I thought. I have a older Lyrik Air DH and its alright but nothing like the coil 66 I had before. I thought maybe they had this air thing figured out by now. I love my Boxxer team, since I had Go-Ride go through it last year. Kris gave it a special tune.

Dorado hu?

I have a brand new Boxxer WC I'll let go for a grand if interested.
