If the engineers at Fox had seen what we've put the all-mountain fork through over the last year and a half, they would probably have thrown up their hands in disbelief. But even with occasional use in the bike park and on excursions on the tough enduro trails of Finale Ligure, the already attested "super" test judgement was not clouded. For a fork with just 150 millimetres of travel, the 34 mm Fox works extremely well even in continuous use. If you occasionally replace the lubricating oil in the fork's casting, you won't have to put up with any loss of performance.
One drawback: after about eight months, the crown of the fork began to creak slightly when braking. Nothing dangerous, but a little annoying. During the warranty period, customers can get help from the Fox service centre.
