Interesting. I own a Canfield Lithium and noticed the stack is really high by comparison to most - 640mm in size medium. Now I know why, and it looks like those guys were on to something. Of course the Lithium also has a relatively short chainstay at 430mm so not exactly on the same page as Quinney here, but perhaps in the same spirit.

As someone who just picked up an Ohlins RFX 34 m.2 after doing a bunch of research, I think this review is problematic for several reasons. First, I think the set up as described in this article is a huge issue. Adjusting the spring rate based on a parking lot test is not the right way to do it. Also adding air because the fork bottomed during a parking lot test is not a good idea either. The conclusion of the article is just wrong IMHO. My initial impression is that the Ohlins fork is every bit as supple as the Fox, but has much better, more consistent damping. The Fox 34 is a good fork, no doubt, but I don't think it's better than the Ohlins. In fact I think the Ohlins is very obviously much better and I attribute the conclusions in this article to improper set up. Sorry for the necro-post here but I thought I'd add my two cents about how this review should be regarded little weight for those thinking about buying this fork.
