In any case, it now weighs well under 3 kilos. The "40" is a top performer off-road. It responds excellently and gives the rider a great sense of security - similar to the "Dorado". The fork suspension is nice and creamy and very sensitive. The compression management works at the highest level and can also absorb big hits at high speed in a very controlled manner. The air spring has a linear characteristic curve over three quarters of the stroke and then an effective end progression. Nevertheless, we utilise the full spring travel. Although it still looks extreme, thanks to the weight diet, the steering stiffness is in line with the competition. The Fox steers very precisely without twitching nervously on lateral impacts. Mature.
