maybe if he says he is so damn good, this "young gun" kid should take a look at todays VOD, would show him how to be a proper good rider at 12 years old and she's a girl, not jumping off 2ft planks like this young chap..

Yay, we totally needed another boxxer vs. 40 thread added to the pile of 50,000 that already exist to make people yell at each other and call each other fags like 4 year olds

i wouldnt say either is better than the other, its just the way you ride i guess and the way you want your bike to feel, the 40s are lighter and stiffer BUT more expensive, the boxxers on the other hand are a small bit heavier cheaper and have a bit of flex in them. on a limited budjet id go for the boxxers because theyre cheaper but if i had the money id buy the 40s


BACKWARDS. boxxers are more easily adjustable to be stiffer, whereas fox 40's have springs, and are lush as f*ck. and NO fox 40's are NOT lighter than boxxers. you are wrong

Your an idiot. 40's will always be more latterally stiff than boxxers due to its bigger dimensions. Rockshox also weigh their forks without oil, so there really isnt much in it at all between the two.

RS>Fox in the performance department, springs are old school.

If you actually read my post I was talking about stiffness. I never said anything about which of the 2 were stronger.

Stiffness and strength are different things.

Exactly! I wish someone could've said this earlier and then people wouldn't be arguing about their fork preferences. We need more mods on this site to close garbage threads.

Hey I think in that post he was talking about the stiffness of the fork's suspension and not the forks stiffness from side to side/front to back motion. Saying that the Fox has springs so if you want stiffer suspension you have to swap the spring while the Boxxer has air chambers so you can adjust the fork without taking it to the shop.

hes not looking to get them.
he created this thread for his friends big brother(my big brother) who is really good at biking and is debating whether or not he should start shopping for the boxxer or 40's.

Well if you hadnt of edited the original post when you were saying how i was wrong because of how the 40 isnt neccessarily stronger due to thinner tubing etc (when i was actually talking about stiffness), then you will realise that the reply from me that you quoted makes perfectly good sense. People these days.
