Having ridden all 3 forks the 831 has easily the most flex. It also has a 15mm axle opposed to a 20mm one and is made of considerably less material. I think it's a fair assumption that the 831 is the weakest of the 3 forks. Not to say that it is weak, it's more than strong enough for 98% of riders - but it would be very surprising if it was stronger than one of the others considering there is much less to it.

I've said it before, and i'll say it again. Argyles flex more than 831's.

I'm late here, but whatever.

it's not the 32mm stanchion size that makes the stiffness difference between the argyle and 831, it's the crown, there's a huge difference in size between them.

and dont forget that an 831 is just a lowered 32 float with a bigger price tag and a different shim stack. (or a pointless CTD damper if it's the new one)

edit: and this is un-called for: "So many false statements. (Mostly from nobble, because he's opinionated with no experience)"
I never give statements without experience, so please pull your head from your posterior.

Look at the 831 crown, then look at the 32 series crown. See those two hollowed out dimples on the top of the 32 series crown? Oh look they are missing on the 831. Guess what... Beefed up crown. And unless i am mistaken the price of a 831 is the same as the 32 RLC QR15, so the price is not inflated at all.

And then i can argue this point: The Argyle RCT is just a beefed up pike- a 10 year old design- with flashy paint and a tuned dampener.

Two can play this game, Nobble.

Violence is always the answer. Michael Jai White has volunteered to fight on behalf of the Argyle RCT.

Congratulations, new model 831 v 2008? 32. Want me to pull up a pic of a Psylo or something and compare that to an argyle?

Dude, whatever you say, i don't care. As far as i know (because you have no evidence) you have very little riding experience on either fork, so there is no point in you even arguing sides here.

Coming from someone that has owned (and put in over 100 hours of bails and nose cases, street park and dirt) on each platform: the 831 is as stiff as an argyle. End of. Riding an 831 round a car park does not give you any valid experience on which to draw your argument.

Put your head back up your posterior, and go sit in the corner, because you are annoying as hell.

It's a 2010 32

Good to know. Still does not relate to anything. 2011+ 32's have recessed sections in the crown.

I am pretty sure they have different internals, don't they?

the 831 came out in 2010. it's the same as the 2010 32...

compared to the current 32's it might appear beefed up but I reckon they've just slimmed down the 32 since the inception of the 831

technically, yes.

but as far as }I'm aware it's just a higher compression shimstack, something most people could do in their garage.

The 831 crown was based on the beefier 32mm x 150 travel fork not the shorter travel 32mm - I believe I read somewhere
