Fox 36 Float R. At full travel it's an awesome Trail/AM/FR fork. Light enough to boast about but holds up to the shit too. Once you lower a 36 Float, You have arguably the most prime DJ fork ever made. Such an awesome fork for all uses.
Dope fork, really light and great for all types of riding. Only thing is the lack of colours and it comes at 140mm. On the good side of things, it is easy to lower and they even say how to do it on their site which most companies are against. I have only ridden this fork a few times but everytime I ride it, it feels great because it makes the front end of the bike so light and easy to pull up, so things like manuals and hops are even easier than normal.
absolutly amazing fork , so much choice on what you can ride with this fork. i have run marzocchi dj 1's and argyle 318's and 409's and these to me are the ultimate for for dirt jumping. mine are on the bike in the picture. now on my dmr transitionand i would never run anything else.
Amazing Fork

Quite possibly the best AM fork out there, if you can afford it. Its plush, buttery smooth travel will keep you from smashing your face in and will flatter you with compliments as you flow along a track. It will make you feel like a superhuman and you'll love it for just that reason.
I've ridden this fork on my dj trail and dh setup all at different heights and it does not disappoint. It's incredibly stiff and second to none in it's weight class. I've broken pikes/argyles/dj1s dirt jumping and this thing has taken some serious tumbles and still rocks. On my trail/dh setup I've launched 25 foot gaps with gnarly holed out landings and the whole way through the fork feels consistently smooth and dampened, just not linear. It's progressive for sure and doesn't bottom but that might be a con because you never get to see full travel without excessive sag. Bottom line is it's close to being the only fork you will ever need, for anything!
this forks are the best ones i hhave had in a long time. i think i like this on my p 3 better then the pikes i had last time.
This is the best fork I have ever ridden. It is super stiff through the rough stuff and does not hesitate on the fast stuff. the lockout is not missed!
Does anyone here know the correct lengh of Oil in both legs and how much of psi should i put on it (I'm 75Kg - i ride 36 float R in 80 mm )

Specifications Compare to other Forks
| Release Date | 2009 | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $1,350 | |
| Weight | 2127.34g | |
| Color Options | White | |
| Travel | 160.02mm |
Travel - refers to the distance the wheel can move in respect to the frame. Typically measured in millimeters, most forks range from 80 to 203 mm of travel
|
| Spring | Air | |
| Crown | Single | |
| Body Type | unknown | |
| Rebound | Air spring pressure, Rebound |
Rebound - is how quick your fork returns to a fully extended position after being compressed. Almost all after-market forks feature external rebound adjustment for easy fine tuning.
|
| Stanchion material | unknown | |
| Steer Tube | 1.125 | |
| Damping | FIT |
Damping - The process of absorbing the energy of impacts transmitted through the forks or rear shock during the compression stroke, and absorbing the energy of the spring during the rebound stroke.
|
| DropOut Options | 20mm | |
| Compression | no adjustment |
Compression - This is the damping circuit that absorbs the compression energy force on the damper. Compression damping is used to adjust how quickly a fork or rear shock compresses when hitting a bump, and is adjustable on some products. When compression damping is too soft, this condition allows most of the available travel to be used without attaining control of the wheel. When it's adjusted too firmly, the wheel will jump or "dance" about when hitting small bumps, again failing to gain control of the wheel.
