Fox Racing Shox 36 Van-RC2

Anyone who has used Fox forks has come to know them as stiff and light but this all come at a price. The 2009 Fox racing shox 36 Van-RC2 comes in at around 2360 grams (or 5.21 pounds) but costs around $900. They have 160mm of coil sprung travel takes in all the bumps with ease. The compression damping is all adjustable to allow you to set it up just the way you want and they feature a 20mm stepped thru axel.

These forks are defiantly very stiff and feel really responsive out on the trails. We took a while to set them up and it made a real difference to the ride quality. Fox was living up to their reputation by supplying 3 springs for different rider weights not something most companies do. This fork is perfectly suited to single track but also at home if you want to fit in a few jumps. It’s a fantastic fork… as long as you can afford it!
