|   Fox Float 100 RLC vs. 2003 Duke Race 100 | el_grande
Jan 8, 2003 2:11 PM | | Does anybody have any experience on the 03 Duke Race 100? I have ridden the 02 Fox Float 100 quite a bit and love it, but now that I am shopping for a fork apparently my timing is off as Fox is not shipping these forks yet. I am curious if the 03 Duke Race is a suitable replacement to the Fox in both performance and stiffness. If you have evaulated these forks please help! Thanks! |

Jan 9, 2003 1:40 AM | | Yip I have the 03 RS Duke 100mm Race model and it is getting plusher with every ride.I have breifly ridden the 02 Fox Float 100 and it also was very nice to but they are expensive- here in NewZealand anyway.I would say there is little between them but I would expect the Fox to be a little stiffer but in the real world would you notice it? I brought the Duke so I could replace the Sid on a new NRS Air with a stiffer/longer travel fork but still retain the remote handlebar lokout that came with the sid.- so I had to stick with RS- maybe if cash/ compatibility/stock(also not in NZ yet) wasnt an issue I may have gone Fox-I think they are a bit more reliable long term, as we do see a few new RS coming back to the workshop with dampning probs- not major just annoying stuff.- but you do pay more for a fox. but they are very similar though with features and performance.
Hope this helps.
Malcolm. |
