Shameless plug for Fox Forx Vanilla R !(2 posts)

Shameless plug for Fox Forx Vanilla R !Locoman

This post might belong in the reviews, but I've only logged in 4 hours so far and I want to wait a few months. Maybe this belongs in passion, but that place is too much of a cult...

The Fox Forx Vanilla R is amazing. I've heard about a fork being stiff vrs flexy and about stiction vrs smooth, but I've always used my xfly and never had a comparison. Man was that thing a bit flexy with sooo many issues in the stiction department.

This fork had transformed my ride. I can clear things that I couldn't before & confidence has jumped a few notches. Man it's a great product. I hope this thing stands the test of time..

-Just had to get that off my chest. My wife doesn't want to hear it.
Just wait till you get the fax explaining why ...hmmm

You get more than 5mm of bushing slop,(at the wheel axle) and weird top out clunks. Don't get me wrong, I have a Vanilla R on my bike, and love how it works when it is either warmed up or 10mm into it's travel, but out in the parking lot, it's got some weird engineering characteristics...
