To answer how i got my fork, i bought it off Bernard himself. After purchasing it, i jumped into his van, and he dropped me off on a road that lead to the train station.

I may have accidently crushed his hand...
Hahahaha. That's an awesome story. I'm guessing it was worth it.

Squad! Very tastefully done, i'll give it a respectable 9/10.

Just to prove im not insane, how does the custom RV1 stack up to every other fork you've owned?

Cheer`s man, thanks for that! Haha yea RV1 squad. Hmm, made my Rux feel like it was blowing through travel constantly no matter what, made the Ti Coil 40 feel like it lacked sensitivity and was rough, made the 40 Float (havent tried 2016) feel like it had stiction off the top, and made any Boxxer I have ridden feel less rigid. To be fair I have definitely spent the most time on the RV1 compared to the rest so I am obviously biased.

All in all it`s stiffer, smoother, and has better mid stroke support than anything I`ve tried. Feels like an oily seal on a slip and slide (in a good way).

More people should give X-fusion a shot, plus its all sexy af.

Edit: I got mine from an ex-canfield team member who is very close with the guys at X Fusion so they hooked him up with the same sweet friction reducing mods and such.

How does the stock x fusion compare

Gets an 8 for me. Find it visually appealing. Loses a couple points for Zee mech and x0 cranks (Without a DM ring), and no guide (I know its a preference thing)

What is wrong with a zee mech? I just put one on a bike. I thought like brakes zee and saint would be pretty much the same other than the whole short or tall cassette thing with zee

9/10 for the v10. It would be a 10 but the green doesnt really match with the pink frame. Sick build!
