I've been racking my brain for a while as to what all the different sub-names meant for suspension components. (Rhythm, Performance... ) So, as someone who's still going through their learning curve, you get a HUGE thanks. This was very well explained. 👌👏👏👏

As a roadie I really appreciate this video. It came up as a sponsored ad but I couldn't leave a comment. I searched for it separately because I found it totally illuminating. I own a bike shop that is roadie focused but from time to time I have to field questions about forks/shocks. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into making this video!

I used to be a RS fan. But, when I bought a new Trek EXe, I made the switch to Fox and I’m never going back. Fox suspension is super easy to set up and it just works better and it’s more tunable.

hmm, i hear a lot about RS being easier to set up and forget than fox.... meanwhile im here rocking a DVO
There used to be another … long ago. I’m still using a marzocchi fork on one of my bikes.
I’ve ran top spec kashima 34 160mm and top spec Lyrik 180mm IMHO Fox felt better initially but needed serviced fairly regularly to maintain the feel, I’ve had my 180mm Lyrik for 2 years and it still doesn’t need serviced, so it’s rockshox for me 💯
Ive supported the shock industry since the beginning. Id say that they got things dialed around mid 2010s. Before then. It didn't take much to blow out the internals with some aggressive riding. Rebuilds were common after a weekend or two of riding. Now days, i can go a couple seasons before a rebuild is needed. Though to be fair. Im not casing jumps like when I started 😅
Great breakdown!

I just serviced my 2008 Rock Shox Recon for the first time. The oil was not even dirty inside. no bushing play. I love the lower end forks by rock shox and fox for the simple reliability. They may not be the best, but they save me money in the long run not having to source a 17 year old rubber bladder.

Manitou. I really don’t know which one I would go with if I had to choose RS/Fox. They’re both doing some interesting things lately
I have s set og Ohlins on my bike, where do they sit in relation to Fox and Rocshox?

Ohlins is a premium brand just like Fox and Rockshox! They just don’t have as strong of a presence in terms of being specced on bikes from the factory.
There both great brands down to the person on what you are use to the new 3.1 damper are brilliant in the rockshox

ROCK SHOX, mas variedad de repuestos, mecanica mas simple, mantenciones las hago yo mismo, repuestos de bajo valor, en gama alta son excepcionales por el precio que cuestan.

Rockshox because the fonts are edgier and more badass.

Awesome work Woman!!!!! Great job and Thank YOU!!!!! RS seems to be a little more buttery to me. Can't go wrong with either tho. Rubber Side Down Peeps!!!!
What about the Domain? It's still a pretty prominent fork out there. You completely missed it in your line up.

There were a couple honorable mentioned missed like revelation and domain. You’re right!
I run a rockshox right now, simply because I got an amazing deal on a fork that I just couldn't pass up and rockshox was pre installed in the rear. but I still prefer the feel of a fox fork. and I can't even put my finger on it, they just feel that little biit better in my opinion. so what is my next step you might ask? the answer is a Cane creek coil shock in the rear to make my bike into even more of a frankenbike.

Yes it's all a matter of preference, and they definitely do feel slightly different! As for the coil, that should spice things up a bit some more! Enjoy!

Both are great but RS is easier to service on your own.
ZEB ultimate. Charger 2.1 Buttersmooth. Bought it new for 500€ (dont understand why there are so many on the market..) super easy working on it. Fox-> expensive. Special tools..fancy kashima. i dont like it

Neither! Been riding Manitou since '94! And they're better than ever! No need for tokens with IRT, and travel adjustable without needing a new damper for each travel range!

budget rockshox and fox are not even in the same tier. Went from RS 35 gold RL to 36 rhythm. The 35s feel like a toy in comparison. Rebound and compression adjustment literally does nothing on the 35s

Fox is very expensive second hand market or good deals. That's why many Asian raider of mtb prepare the fox because of its value.
