Who knows when these will be available in the US? It looks like there are a lot of good changes for '05, so I'd like to figure out how long the wait will be.
2005 Fox Forx
- Thread starter Superdeft
- Start date
Alls I wants to know is when the 2005 models will be available for purchase.
well, i dont know about you but suspension performance is my #1 priority, weight might be 2 or 3....dlb said:That bites, talk about falling behind the times, there next greatest trailbike fork is going to be a whole 130mm
Looks like it will be a RS Pike for me next, unless the new 6" Marzocchi's will be several pounds lighter.
everything that i have heard about the pike has been that it feels great and is real stiff
but then again everyone must be lying because rs could possibly make a fork that works well

let me reiterate Superdeft's qery: when are the freakin things going to available?!
Manitou has the Nixon out...what type of bike are you riding? what type of riding are you doing? because the Pike and Nixon are very similar in intended use....hardcore XC use...other than that there is the Marz 66 which is 1 1/8
I'm probably late on this but I didn't see anything about the new DH fork lately so for those who are interested and haven't seen it yet here's the link to the fox website for the new DH fork

2005 date on forkCreeP said:
2004 late fall release date
early 2005 second release with fixes
Just a guess though
Remember though, Cock Shox got bought by SRAM, so expect to see some positive changes in the future.Ifelloffabike said:everything that i have heard about the pike has been that it feels great and is real stiff

thats an awefully big standard axle on that fork man
I saw a stripped down Fox DH fork at Mt SNow yesterday, and now i get why they are so light....
There are sealed, nitrogen-charged cartrdiges in each leg, with springs that fit over the cartrdiges, and a tiny bit of oil for lube.

I've heard that some already have the 2005 fox models, so i hope late fall isn't the scheduled date for the release of the 05 stuff.
