CONCLUSION The forks from French manufacturer BOS are among the best on the market for enduro and downhill. The Dizzy is the first fork for racers and impresses with its low weight and very good torsional rigidity. It responds sensitively and provides top traction. Due to the degressive characteristic curve, the easily noticeable compression damping is a good addition. The biggest drawback: there is no remote lever.

The milled BOS quick-release lever of the 15-millimetre thru-axle has sharp edges and therefore does not fit perfectly in the hand.Photo: Georg Grieshaber The milled BOS quick-release lever of the 15-millimetre thru-axle has sharp edges and therefore does not fit perfectly in the hand.  The remote lever on the handlebars is an essential tool for racers. BOS does without it. The compression lever could also have a more defined click.Photo: Georg Grieshaber The remote lever on the handlebars is an essential tool for racers. BOS does without it.
