i would get the boxxers as they are lighter

have you riden any of them? i hate people saying oh i think his one is more adjustable, etc, you cant tell if you havent ridden both. I have riden fox 40's on session 88 and hey are amazing, they feel stiff when riding not rough terrain but when its rough its so plush and feels amazing, pretty light aswell, and no boxxer wc is not cheaper and much lighter that 40's. havent roden 2010 boxxers tho

personally i would get a 40. they are so smooth. you feel like your stuck to the ground when you ride them. when you think about it 40's have never really changed a whole lot cause they are always on the top of their game. and any 40 is a good 40. with rock shox the boxxer has changed so much over the years and it never stays consitant.

40 all the way

personally i find 40's to be overpriced and overhyped, i mean they are by no means bad forks, just i cant see any reason to pay more for them over a boxxer. also i really like boxxers new rebound adjust.

*EDIT* and yes i have ridden both of these forks

reliability of a 40 is much better than the 2010 boxxer. maybe in a couple years the boxxer will be good for the consumer.

if they haven't been out long enough to know if they're reliable and people already know they aren't then that's saying something....

i've never ridden a boxxer that i really liked, fox forks always have felt better to me

i would have to agree on the 40.

although rockshox have been making huge improvement its still a rockshox.

most shops can service fox forks and shocks. and its fairly easy.

the older boxxers had noticable flex. on expert/pro courses that were really rooty or rocky you could feel your wheel tracking another direction than your bars. the 40 has none whatsoever. as for the 2010 i have only ridden it a few runs. it is night and day better than the old boxxer and feels pretty compliant and reactive. we have heard a few bad reports about problems with the 2010. and i prefer the RC2 over the Mission control dampening.

fox is fox, they have always had their foot in the door and have ALWAYS been producing top notch suspension in bicycles, quads/moto's, dezert or 4x4 trucks, etc.
