I am about to get a new bike (santacruz bronson) and I am trying to find out weather or not I should run fox or rockshox on my next bike, I have almost always rode fox but recently I have been a bit upset with the reliability of there shocks. I am currently stuck in the middle and don't know which brand to go with. I appreciate any and all replies Big Grin

ive had 3 36's knock from new this year ive waited for the new rockshox stuff and now i have 2 forks on their way.

The old SDU was awesome so id assume the new one is even better.

If fox have let you down go Rock shox or try another brand completely.

I tend to make sure theres a good access to service parts of my chosen brand,
nothing worse than a brand and you cant get spares or bike shop have no
dealing with etc

I'd go 2022 Lyrik or Fox 36 on the front, and Float X or DHX on the rear.

Avoid the X2 at all costs!

Why avoid x2

So unreliable some tuners won’t even touch them anymore

How does the dhx2 compare to the float x2 in terms of reliability?

Better but that’s not saying much. Best thing they sell is the Marzocchi Bomber CR.

Imo, all high end fox products are tuned for racing right out of the box. I have ended up running the forks with compression wide open because I am not racing. My last fox fork was a 2019 fox 36 performance . It took weeks to get the tune close and it still left me with real “hand pump”. Ended up lowering the fluid weight in the damper just to get a lower compression damping…… I am 220 lbs fully kitted and I still needed to reduce the compression damping with an oil change. I ride a Zeb now, took one ride to tune and the fork is tuned for daily riding. Again, JMO.
