My personal opinion about Fox forks and dumpers: I like to change bikes, so in last 5 years I had experience with several fox and rockshox products as well as one suntour fork. For enduro kind of trails we run here in Israel, the best choice is fox float 32/talas 32 fork and rp23 shock. I have experience of riding them for 2 years without maintenance and without loosing the performance significantly. Regarding the RockShox- they are quite ok but not as plush as fox and in most cases require even more frequent maintenance. Suntour are reasonable for a cheap bike and easy cross-country terrain, but not for serious technical trails. Suntour also have some "wooden" feeling in them. I do agree that Fox charges a premium for being more plush, but i think that the premium is ok when you pay it for avoiding back or shoulders pain or accidents and more comfort ride. I also prefer the RLC setup than the new CTD one, however beginners struggle to dial-in the RLC ones and prefer the simpler CTD setup.
