Why did you decide to get the 40? What about the 2010 Boxxer???

Trying something different. The boxxer wasn't able to do what I wanted it to do.. The 40 does. Boo ya!

The fox is just superior to the boxxer. Does EVERYTHING amazing and is extremely reliable

The motion control cartridge in a Boxxer doesn't do what I want it to do... You give up either LSC or HSC in adjusting the fork, you can't have have both, or just one... It's kind of stupid how it works. The 40 seems to operate the compression forces independently, giving me what I need in a race fork...

It rides how a Ferrari looks: light, fast, stiff.

Does the 2010 40 feel any different then the 2009 due to the FIT RC2 damper? Sick bike I got a 09 Giant Glory to and I love it.

flag mitcht (Jul 15, 2009 at 8:25)
I beleive the cartridges are the same from 2009-2010, they should feel the same. The FIT damper has always been in the Fox 40.
