My friend Jake has a Boxxer WC and says that it flexes like a twig. So now hes getting the new 2011 40's with the kashima coating. Fox is just way better all around, look at the Athertons and Cedric Gracia on the V10, they rock the 40's and fu$king rip. The Boxxer seems like such a FRO type fork, good for racing, and thats about it, because you got to rebuild them frequently. You would literally half to pay me through sponsorship from SRAM to ride those forks.

The word you were looking for was have!

Boxxer WC needs more service than the other boxxers yes. The team however does not. It is a greatly underestimated fork, it hands small bumps way better than the wc, it is sprung like the 40 and sprung fork are just all around better.

exept for weight

The weight difference is probably the last thing I think about when comparing the two.

same, the different in weight between a team and a 40 is not going to win the race for you, but the performance of the fork just might!

I love my fox 40's, but I may be a traitor and go with boxxers, purely because of maintenance reasons, fox needs alot of regular maintenance, and boxxer don't.
And for the arguement of what feels better, its like bikes, some people will love the way 40's feel but hate boxxers, some love boxxer feel and hate 40's, and some will just like them the same.
Also i've always associated fox 40's with more 'heavy duty' downhill bikes, and boxxers with 'lighter' downhill bikes, maybe because of the station difference..
*edit - I'm on about rc2 & teams*

For me maintenence isnt about a bare minimum, its about whatever it takes to keep the performance to the max.
