The Orbea FOX Enduro Team Camp in March brought together team riders and technical staff from Orbea and Fox. Held in Lousa, Portugal, the riders tested the new FOX suspension with Jordi Cortes (Race Support Manager for FOX) who shared his technical expertise.
Man, at the rate suspension technology is improving these days, its only a matter of time before the forks are as good as the Bomber 66RC I had 15 years ago!
@aljoburr: Had 3 of those 66 back in the days, a 66R '05, 66RC2X '06 and finally a 170mm 66RC2X '07, which to this day, remains the best frickin fork I've ever ridden, although my current Pike is pretty darn good, too.
@audioshnoll: Marzocchi always had the best damping, & that is why Fox are as good now, But is no question that older bombers were really good, but if you want a better fork than you can get now may be try linkage?
I really should find the inspiration to finish this off, anyone got a really light shim stack, to use on a front, rear shock? www.pinkbike.com/photo/17994253
@aljoburr: Why do you say that Fox damping is good because of Marzocchi? The awesome Bomber dampers were open bath. Fox went to cartridge dampers long ago, though their open bath forks back during the mid 2000's were very good.
@chrod: Marzocchi Designed the Grip damper, the mistake they made was getting Suntour to make crappy cartridge that used to suck fluid past seal head on a non rebuild able damper that looked like a rear door dampining rod & about the same reliability!
I was just thinking that same thing. You can probably count on a cameo from Jordi to be worth at least double the hits an article would normally pull in.
Would be nice to go into hibernation & wait for 2021, but you would miss all the fun that will happen next? Will this be over soon or is this just the start of something bigger?
"We managed to deliver comfortable setup which is also race-ready". So i buy this 2021 product, set it up like Pro-EWS riders and it will be comfortable for me? I have doubts, i think "comfortable" for average Joe is not "comfortable" for pro fit rider spending 5 times a week in gym.. ...
I have the pleasure the building a orbea occam last year and the bike works so good. The geometry is perfect. Fox plus orbea occam is a dream. One of best bikes in Enduro circuit shore! Nice job orbea.
Hey Jordi do you have a suspension tune for my front shock? www.pinkbike.com/photo/17994253 Please let me know if have a more progressive (Soft)shim stack or 150-200lb spring?
It's because all the world it's done with 2020 and marketing manager it's like -lets just skip 2020 and lets vision 2021....a year with better results lol-
You all crític guys: I dont you go out for a Ride instead of writing here...ir you dont like this sheat dont see it...#trilhosdaguarda..... yeeeaahhh Boy
Modern Fox air shock damping and smoothness is amazing given the weight loss; a 36 Float 180 GRIP 2 is 1.9 kg (4.25 lbs).

rear shock?
