CONCLUSION The Fox 32 is extremely sensitive and absolutely comfort-orientated and therefore also cuts a fine figure on tours. In Descend mode, however, it offers little compression damping support, which is why we spent most of our time riding in the slightly firmer Trail mode. In terms of torsional and braking stiffness, the lightweight fork is one of the weaker ones in the comparison.
