Just mix some Viagra in with the oil and the Boxxer is as stiff as the 40.
Fox 40 proto

put them in a candle lit room with some barry manilow, a few months later you will have a Foxxer.Just mix some Viagra in with the oil and the Boxxer is as stiff as the 40.
Is that an M-Arch?
Are those 35mm ENVE bars? They look as fat as the 40mm fork legs!From Peaty's twitter..
hybrid brain talk. thoughts one side, motor skills on the other. done. and not a single coherent thought was made.
im guessing the ports are for giving the foam ring under the seals a fresh dose of float fluid to keep them running sweet. Saves you popping the seals or dropping off the lowers. Is it just me that thinks that the stanchions look like they've been thinned down maybe a fox 38 instead of the 40. Rockshock tried 40 mm when they were developing the new style boxxer and the r and d riders said it was too much. Maybe some of the ex blackbox riders want something with a little bit of give in it.
wuttt
Ill have to agree on the stiffness part after riding a fox ever since the 40 came out.
The boxxer definitely has more flex in it which makes for a softer ride.
I dont think ones better over the other though.
I like the rigidness of the fox but can imagine people prefer a boxxer.
Personal preference goes a long way!
inverted boxxer.
As hard as they tried, they couldn't get the F-arch to work
200g is a pretty good chunk of change, and I'm sure i'm not the only one who would give up a half a pound in the fork for real seals, damper performance, durability, and stiffness....but the boxxer is light, so there's that.
I think you're on the money here, just for topping up foam ring oil.
They look like 40mm to me. But maybe they've reduced size for a better air chamber size.
I think it's a 2 way air intake valve to keep the dampener shims cool as the fork goes up and down real fast over the moguls. The sound is fully adjustable between 2-stroke and Harley.
Well that there is just simple forn-u-bate seal systems. Its so when yer fork dries up, or pose is droopin, you can stick yer teeny peener in there and manlube the seals to keep em spunky.
Show your fork some looooooooooooooooooooooove.

This thread delivers!
Jason Marsh, GM wrench says: air release valves.

I knew that already at the beginning
But the question is: Why are they on the casting and not on top of the stanchions?
Because on an air fork (at least on the spring side) the stanchion is sealed off from the lowers.

translation leaves something to be desired but the point gets across.

fvcking schweeeeet!
Hopefully oil squirts out just a little bit so that you can get a buddy to 'take a look at this real quick' and hit the zap button.

Apparently Minnaar means Lover in dutch. I know there's a joke in there somewhere.
Do you reckon that the holes in the back of the new brace are for attaching a fender/mud board? Looks like they are machined not just cast.
he'll be p*ssing himself laughing when the oil dribbles onto your disc though
glad to see some post mount disc tabs
"ROW stands for Racing Application Development, acronym but also refers to the expression “Wheel!” used much in States as an abbreviation for “Radical!”, expression used to describe something amazing, spectacular."
Was thinking a bit more direct mount, and less zip tie. But yeah that's the idea.could be.
or not.
Very cool considering marzocchi may be going under. This fork is coming to market just in time if bryson martin racing doesn't do so well...

what does his new company have to do with it?
That article made it sound like tenneco took a huge dump on marzocchi and marzocchi USA is now herp derpin racing. That could be cool, maybe. I don't know if I could buy a fork with one dude's ego blasted across it, but I suppose it can't be worse than RS.
Still, this fox is a nice evolution, and bless them for continually making their fork better rather than reinventing the wheel once every 5 years.
