Misfits! We need a little more of this and a little less electronic music. Even if it was only a 49 second video. Fork looks pretty nice too, will be interested to see the price.
my x fusion vector i had lasted just fine, especially compared to the rs vivid i had and the velvet i used on my xc bike proved to be alot more reliable than the marzocchi 44's i had.if these are anything to go by theyre going to last just fine. x fusion is a company that's pumping out suspension units that are way better than most people give them credit for and truth be told are not a million miles away from the big three power names in terms of performance, i'd like to have a go on a set to see how they compare, it could prove interesting
I agree with manza, I ride an X-Fusion vengeance and its awesome! I have ridden Highland and Trestle where the fork performed admirably. Soaked up 8 foot drops and 20 foot kickers and led me down the race track at Highland without a problem. I also run this fork (170mm) on trail rides and it climbs well and descends like a man. It is a tad heavy and so it does detract a bit from climbing, but I can still beat my XC friends up climbs. X-Fusion makes good stuff and I would love to try this fork.
i don't know why but x-fusion has a kind of prejudice. i've had my Vengance HLR Coil for about 3 months now and they are just fine. nice and plush with great adjustibility and a sick price. they're better then my previous marzo 55s. i would recomend to my friends.
Hah, suddenly, the market of double-crown forks is overpopulated and not like it used to be - only 3-4 options... But still, my favourites are the DVO Emerald and the Manitou Dorado!
I have a vector air in the rear, and I have a vengeance air up front, I ride them both DH, I have ridden them at Whistler, and at Northstar, and they rip. No haste, easy to set, and forget. Not to mention the Customer Service is AWESOME! Did I mention I weigh 230 LB? No, well, I do, and if it works for my fat ass, it will certainly work for you 100-lb-nothings. Try them, theyre amazing, and cheaper.
I maybe and probably am wrong but was that a Kenda nevegal? If so that's your first mistake. Today has been all about some forks which is nice but if that fox 40 air comes out that's what I'm buying
Really? The publisher of this article asked if we could notice anything in particular about what we saw. In addition, I was the first to notice it. And now you're pretending to be a antagonist. No, I've never heard of Mucky Sluts or Dirty Dicks! Of course I've heard of them. Anyway, the positive side to having integrated mounts is... there's no need to waste countless zip-ties on the Dirty Turds. What's more, we could perhaps now have effectively better designs.
im seeing alot of compression, and taht looked like some pretty flat terrain for the most part, sooo i hope i will find some nice low speed compression on this bad boy.
As someone who grew up in Japan and riding motorcycles, I too run my brakes 'moto style' as it is called here in the US. I think at some point, mechanics here put the rear brake on the right so they didn't have to reach across the bike to stop the rear wheel while working on drivetrains. Also helps for those who can't keep straight having a shifter for one end of the drivetrain being on the same side of the bar as the brake for the wheel at the other. Go figure.
So now we have rockshox Dvo ( sr suntour for those who don't know) Marzocchi Xfusion Fox And manitou Nice handful of options. I put those names in order from best to worst fyi
And what about SR Suntour's own DH fork - did you forget about it? Check with your sources what exactly the connection between Suntour and DVO is! Not to mention you've forgotten RST's DH fork as well. And on top of that, you've got your order of names totally wrong!
WTF what was the point in putting this up? I have to say some right shit they seem to be putting on PB these days. what was the point in that? yeah great marvellous what a pile of shit...... there has to be a better site than this shit?
What did I notice, another fork video, sorry did I miss something spectacular, oh it didn't bottom out, neither do my Totems on a similar trail. Try again on bigger hits and we'll comment again.
It isn't about bottoming out, but rather how it reacts to different turf. It is likely your totem doesn't react as much to both small and big chunder. Not mocking your totem, just it isn't designed for dh as much as fr. Thia fork looks pretty responsive.
I think they are just creating a little buzz. People have been asking when X-Fusion is going to make a DH fork, and this just shows that it is in the works. They even call the video a "leak", not a promo video of a product that is currently available. I'm sure when the product is ready for the public we will see more details. I really like my X-Fusion Vengeance and think these guys know what they are doing.
ahh the great fork debate, ok so we have another set of forks on the market and we have a promo video of them in action, seriously its just coming down to which fork will look better on your bike, as with most new products on the market we have to rush out and buy it, like my Boxxer WC, Fox 40's, Marzocchi etc. The marketing team of X-Fusion certainly have got the world talking about their new fork with this video. Its a good marketing campaign, now all we need to see is how competitive on price they will be and then check back at sales figures in 12 months time.
