I remember reading in a magazine, an article about the fox racing shox factory, and about they way that test everything to make sure it's the best they can make. I also remember reading the Fox isn't terrible worried about Marzocchi, but is worried about Rockshox and Manitou's new technology.....well i don't think Fox should worry about new technology, just Rockshox "stealing" (i use that term loosely!) their ideas.
In a more recent edition of some Oz MTB magazine, the new Rockshox Reba was put to the test...the article also included some pics of the new fork, but what caught my eye was the fork arch....from the front it looks like any other weight weenie arch! but a shot from behind shows something far more interesting! The arch shows similar characteristics of Fox's Web Truss design!
I guess it isn't surprising to find that the new fork sports designs of competitors, but i guess it would be nice for a brand new, never been done before fork to have 100% originality!
