 wow! fork flex!
  • 8 4
 its not fork flex, just looks like it because his number on the front is blocking a part of the top of the stanchion!
  • 3 3
 Nah, I'm pretty sure there is some flex going on there.
  • 2 2
 yeah if def is. i mean come on, it's a boxxer. 32mm stanchions
  • 5 1
 No it isn't. Look carefully at it. The part that looks like its flexing is between the two crowns anyway (and so physically can't and won't flex) it is simply the race number on the front which splits the stanchions giving the illusion that it's flexing
shut up about boxxers clearly they're not that bad since a heck of a lot of pro's use them.
40's are the only forks near boxxers in performance, but they're over priced and actually require more maintenance (my mate has had both and now races with Boxxers)

 it doesn't look like it's flexing inbetween the crowns. and i'm not saying they are bad. i wouldn't cuz i'm getting the new 2010's

you're entitled to your own opinion Razz

 manitou dorado and BOS forks are just as good as boxers and foxes. Razz and yeah i dont think there is flex so im going with what you said about the number Razz
  • 1 1
 yeah w.e. it's not really that important. but i'm getting the boxxer discounted from the bike shop where i work down to like 400! but the boxxers are one of the most least expensive dh forks out there

 OH MY GOD thats an AMAZING price! The pricing on the new boxxers is enough to draw in previous 40 and 888 fans which is awesome!

 @ willhughes Smile thanks lol yh i do think its just that race number
as for the BOS forks and dorados i cant vouch for (I don't know anyone with them) but i don't think i would try dorado's simply because I don't like how they look (sorry that's just how I am Smile lol)

 All forks flex no matter what brand they are!!!!!!!! Its just the way the materials are and it improves the suspension. Think how much strain they go through. I would rather have a flexy fork that worked well and we all know that boxxers do than a stiff fork that just snaps.

 i wouldn't exactly put it down to the materials, and the idea of dual crowns is to decrease flex and improve stiffness! Aluminium which is the most widely used material for fork parts is actually a very stiff metal, not prone to flex when compared with steel or other common metals. Though i do agree that given the option, its better for a fork to flex than to snap!
