fox grip fork query

Daniel Hale

She fid, he fid, I fidn't
went online looking to replace my RS sektor silver 140mm boost fork, its just not that plush
found this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/173153281094?ul_noapp=true
the guy told me that are selling them at cost - bought them for their EVIL frames [not sure why you are sending this much on a frame then putting a budget-ish fork on]
i then found this one https://www.bike-components.de/en/F...thm-51-Boost-Suspension-Fork-2017-OEM-p61616/
seems to be the same fork for under half price
my wife would kill me now if i bought a pike, i figure @$250 i don't have anything to lose -i can run it @low psi & use a couple of tokens, suggestions [apart form it being a fox]

I just picked up a 130mm 34 fox rhythm grip boost fork for my 27.5+ off bike discount and I couldn't be happier. It was replacing a 120 RS tk silver and it's changed the bike. I'm really enjoying the feel, nice and plush but decent small bump sensitivity. Honestly mine was $260 delivered and I sold my RS for $180 on flea bay so the upgrade was the best $80 I've spent in ages. So far I think their grip damper might be a real winner just have to see how reliable it is. Only thing is it makes a kind of hiss noise like its releasing pressure when you hit bigger stuff not sure if it's meant to probably should look that up...

Here's everything you ever wanted to know (well maybe not everything!) about the new Fox Grip - from the one of the dudes at Vorsprung, who know their shit! It gets a great wrap - good fork on a budget.

Definitely should have gone to specsavers
I also bought a 34 from bike components for an upcoming build - 130mm performance boost 29/27.5+, about $390 delivered. Same chassis as the factory without the Kashima coat and has the Grip damper. I have the option to upgrade to an evol air spring and a FIT4 damper and end up with a current factory fork for about $800 total spend.
