No, FOX will file a lawsuit against you if you run their fork with a Rockshox rear shock. You also have to run a FOX helmet or you are not insured against injury from their suspension if it fails. Be careful when you do things like that, it can cause a lot of problems..

I’m doing that right now, 160 mil pike on the front, Fox X2 for 160mil on the back. They go quite well together in my opinion.

I’m running an EXT ERA up front and Push 11/6 in the back. In my Opinion there’s nothing on the market that feels better than my mismatched-brand suspension.

Tbh I wasn't exactly blown away by my 11/6, but I bet that ERA is a great fork...would be interesting to know how good compared to say a Smashpot converted fork.

Well I can’t say for certain becuz I’ve not tried a smashpot but I can say the ERA is just as sensitive as a coil fork but with infinite tuning capabilities. The mid support is amazing and the damper is very good. I’m still dialing mine in but gotta say I’m definitely not disappointment in my purchase.

My rear shock exploded so I replaced it with a grapefruit. Doesn't seem to have any negative affects on my marzocchi fork. Plus it makes for a delicious mid ride snack. Going to need more grapefruits though.
