Had to give the 2011 Fox 36RC2 180 mm kashima coated bad boy fork a try.... 1st impressions aside of needing to put the heavy spring in is WOW..... for a non custom tuned fork im completely floored at its performance........ this is not the fox forks i had in the past...... GOOD JOB FOX!!!! .. as of right now its probably the badest fork (single crown) out of the box.....
It has a mid speed platform or spot that gets stiffer not alot but enough that it acts like a mid speed valve. It pushes through it just fine and tracks very well its a little flexy but the bushing overlap keeps it solid feeling compared to a 36 I ran a bit last year. The fork feels very plush and doesn't feel dry like past fox forks.
It flexes but tracks and doesn't feel as stiff as the 66, or totem but mows over small bumps and I did bottom it hard tonight but I ran the medium spring and had the comp wide open trying different settings.
adjustment range is very broad and they do make a difference on each click.
As usuall needed to give it a shot and im glad I did, I will be hammering it for the next month or so to really run it through its paces and then to craig... this is a VERY VERY VERY SOLID FORK......
And a sidewalk off to left of tennis courts to drop to flat and adjust the compression... Flat landing didnt bottom, close but seems dialed.... Now its off to the stair gaps to flat bottom...
