Got the 36 performance elite grip2 29 from my megatower but I want to upgrade to the factory 38 soon... but just bought a reverb axs so got a wait for a while😂
You should make a video about the differences between Santa Cruz’s bikes. The nomad, mega tower, Hightower, and Bronson are all basically the same, so it would be nice to have an explanation. Also include the V10, 5010 and tallboy, and the others
I kinda liked the "49" nomenclature. You could tell who was running 29" tires at a quick glance. However, that is becoming less of a benefit as 29" DH bikes become more common.
I always wondered what was going on with that 49 I’d always see on Fox triple crown forks... I’d see it and think to my self, “dayyyum my 210 lbs. KTM mx bike has a 49 mm on it. Why the heck would anybody need that on their mtb.” So, thanks for clearing that up Jeff!
@@sarahfelder1373 For a cross country bike yes otherwise I wouldnt recommend it as it will be very flexy for a bike supposed to go fast downhill like for a trailbike or an enduro bike
@@sarahfelder1373 Your xc to a hardtail? If you mean your xc into an aggressive hardtail get a maximum 120mm fork to not compromise the angles too much and get something like a fox 34 or a rs pyke.
Depends what your riding. 36 might not be great if you are riding really aggressive endure so 38 would be better + more travel. 40 is olny good for downhill bc of triple clamp.
Hmmm I'm confused. The video mentions a 32 is for a 100m travel fork yet the specs of my bike clearly mention my bike came with 2 options in where 1 of the options is a "Fox 29 FIT CTD adjust QR15 120" I have 2 bikes 1 with a fox 32 with 100m travel and another with afox 32 with 120 and it is clear that they are both 32 mm and its also clear one of fork the stanchions are around 110mm long and the other bike the stanchions are around 139mm long. I must say they are both 2015 bikes. Has something changed in the meantime.
What would you suggest for an upgrade from my RoxkShox Recon 120mm? I have a hardtail Powerfly 5 and looking for something like 150mm for off road and trail riding. Thanks
Hey I've noticed that Fox has changed the shape of the arch from the 36 - 2019 models to a round arch. Is the round arch superior to the previous design in stiffness? The round arch design looks bulkier.. Would you really notice that on the trail? Thanks
Hey guys, I keep buying stuff but I never get any stickers in the boxes. I think the delivery people are ripping me off. You should have a talk with the people you do business with on the deliveries because it can't be just me getting his stickers stolen.
Not really, their shocks may have different stanchion sizes but it’s not really relevant as the rear shock doesn’t have to endure lateral forces. Instead they are differentiated by how they are tuned (more supportive vs more plush), adjustments (HSC and LSC), and how much they weigh
The amount of travel available with a given model changes with each generation. The 36 used to cover the range of 150 through 180, for example, but the 38 has take over the role for anything more than 160.
Which Fox fork would you run?
whatever i can afford
The 38
36 😍😍
I would go with the 38
Got the 36 performance elite grip2 29 from my megatower but I want to upgrade to the factory 38 soon... but just bought a reverb axs so got a wait for a while😂
Simple, I would take 1 of each.
Then sell the ones you don't need on PB.
6000 dollars please
Wait a minute
And i would take 30 of each :)
I dont think you have the facilities for that big man
I though the numbers represented the preferred age of the rider....dang
True LMAO, or maximum age
😂
Lmao
lmao
Number of credit card payments?
It would be funny if the video just ended at 0:33
Haha I definitely considered that. Or even just saying, the difference is some are thic and some aren't. Bye.
@@WorldwideCyclery 😂
@@WorldwideCyclery thats what she said
How on earth did the 49 get past the marketing team? It's like they forgot about all their other products 😂
I think they wanted to do something like mix fox 40 and 29 wheels
40, 29
49

I don't think they sell Santa Cruz
The chassis are all very similiar, except tweeked a little like BB height, stack for the total travel that the bike was intended for.
Didn't know you were into mountainbiking Tim cook! How's the business going these days?
Def not the real Tim cook ✊
Honestly maxing out at 160 in my opinion makes the 36 an all mountain fork, and the 38 is now the Freeride/Enduro fork.
160, 140, 120 and 100 is the pump down travel of the stanchion but that number is the sizes of the stanchion.
Oof

Can you do this for RockShox?
yes please!
Will do!
Please
@@WorldwideCyclery yeah that would be very good because RockShox is so much more complicated
If you weigh 200 pounds plus and you do heavy trail riding the Fox 38 is for you!
Just take my word for it and buy it. It makes a world of difference.
I was so confused with what the 49 was as the 40 was in a 29er. Thanks for clearing this up!
one of these for rockshox would b very helpful
I remember when my 140mm 32RLC was a big travel all mountain fork.
That Pivot Phoenix makes me feel all tingly inside

dual crown forks
I didn't know. Thankyou. Changing my forks and wasn't sure where to start. Apparently it's with your channel 👊
Should have called the 36 “all mountian” and the 38 enduro.
Yeah, especially that even many "trail" bikes are being fitted with 36 forks these days.
@@basstrom88 I know mine is
Could you do a more in depth video on RockShox forks and different models for each one like the select plus and ultimate??
I always wondered why the 49 was named like that
As a roadie wanting to buy a MTB, this was really helpful. Thanks!
Tf is a roadie
@@dc010487a person who blocks traffic and wonders why people hate them.
3:09 my day is ruined😔 I thought it was a 49mm stantion beast.
Me too
Me too
Motocross Bikes have 48mm Stanchions and 300mm travel. In cases your Fox 40 won't cut it on the gnarliest of gnarly DH tracks.
@@vivalaphill they’re a million times more heavy not nearly as tunable
Screw the forks Jeff, do you want to spoon? 😉
😂😂
@@WorldwideCyclery is that a yes?
@@WorldwideCyclery I’d rather fork
If he's not interested, I am 😍
She's a man baby, yah!
Hey Jeff can you do a review on Hope brakes
Hope Tech 3 E4
Hope Tech 3 X2
Short and sweet. Informative. Thank you!
Excellent video! Simple and useful.
Very nice informative video which comes right to the point! Really appreciate!
I hopefully will get a bike with a 36, but I am just informing myself. Thanks for the good video ✌️
Would be great to see a video focussed on the options within one fork, like the top level Koshima (idrk how to spell it) coated ones to the ones below
Thanks for clarifying the 49 sillyness!
I'm curious how much better a new fox fork is vs an old one. Like a 2013 fox 36 vs a modern one.
I run a 34 on my trail bike, soon a 36 on my new enduro bike!
Just asking is a 32 Alright?

@@oskarstaudte thank you very much for the information
Off-topic question: Are long travel forks longer? Can I increase the travel by replacing the fork without increasing total fork length?
I just got a 140mm 34 performance for my trail bike and am counting down the days till it shows up at my door
my old fox 32 is 150 mm work fine and very lightweight
Nice!
The terry crews Clip was priceless
i have the fox 40 on my tricycle, it helps me jump over my moms SUV
Hell yeah.
Great information!!!
Can you review sr suntour forks
38
Been looking between 34 and 36. Not sure which one I’ll end up with
Great video, really helpful. One question: how do the recommended uses you mentioned change for heavier bikes like E-bikes?
Depends what your riding. 36 might not be great if you are riding really aggressive endure so 38 would be better + more travel. 40 is olny good for downhill bc of triple clamp.
Very informative. Thanks!
Can you make a video of rockshox?
36 is a do it all for me
Love the channel keep it up.
As we say in Australia: Get foxed mate! lol ;-)
We say that??
@@nedtics675 Well, not quite...this is a PG-ish channel. Can't quite say THAT f-word...lol
You guys should make a review of the tyre Maxxis wetscream
Thanks. New knowledge for me!
Thanks 😊
awesome vid like always.. curious what does the 32mm stepcast acually weigh?
Which XC bike is that at 1:10? It is absolutely beautiful.😍
Make a video on the difference of the factory and performance and the rhythms
The fox 36 is used on dirt jumpers too
As a bigger rider I really want a fox 38...black with custom hot pink and blue stickers
The fox 32 used to be available in 150mm and the 36 used to be available in 170mm
Mondraker calls my bike with a 38 a super Enduro bike, so I guess it caught on
Just the video I needed
Fox 36 Master Race!
Interesting 👍 a video on stem length and how to cut it to the right length could be informative too 👌👍
Don’t cut your stem
Love the 34 120 mil set for xc!
A better video would be the difference between the Rhythm and Performance/Factory particularly the spring.
It's real easy; if you are in NA and you got a Rhythm 34, you are boned. If you got a Rhythm 36, there is some hope for your fork's future.
How come I have a 170 mm 36 then
Why do they have bananas at the background 🤔🤔😂
Plz make 1 on rockshock
Is 180mm fox 36 float factory and marzocchi moto c2r great for dh?
That pivot phoenix 🤤🤤🤤

Me running my ztz fox 32 knockoffs that don't even have a rebound adjustment: interesting
I’m somewhat new to mtn biking but I just bought a bike that came stock with a fox 36 fork and it says my front travel is 170mm
I have a 32 Factory which has 120mm of travel... so, there isn't a maximum travel of 100mm for Fox 32.
Thank you very much
3:01 what about Sam Pilgrim?
What about him? That was a downhill trike. A HARDCORE downhill trike
Dh Road bike?
DOOM IT
Perfect. Thanks!
Do a same video but with rockshox
What would you suggest for an upgrade from my RoxkShox Recon 120mm?
I have a hardtail Powerfly 5 and looking for something like 150mm for off road and trail riding. Thanks
How about mentioning head tube, axle and rotor size? Might be helpful.
The difference between the 32 and the 40 ........ 8 ! Thank you 🤣
It would be interesting to add a weight comparison between the forks.
Hey I've noticed that Fox has changed the shape of the arch from the 36 - 2019 models to a round arch. Is the round arch superior to the previous design in stiffness? The round arch design looks bulkier.. Would you really notice that on the trail? Thanks
Trying to figure out how I can have enough bikes to use all these forks
Hey guys, I keep buying stuff but I never get any stickers in the boxes. I think the delivery people are ripping me off. You should have a talk with the people you do business with on the deliveries because it can't be just me getting his stickers stolen.
Thank you!! Maybe same for their rear shoxs?
I have a 34 with 160mm travel and on my enduro so the 34 also comes with that
I would have liked to have heard about the specific weights, although I would guess MTB or downhill-ers don't care.
I think the 36 is available in 170mm too because I have a 46 and it is 170mm.
same I have a 36 in 170
Would fox 32 be a good dirt jumper fork?
Do they do the same thing on rear shocks. With different size stanchions.
Not really, their shocks may have different stanchion sizes but it’s not really relevant as the rear shock doesn’t have to endure lateral forces. Instead they are differentiated by how they are tuned (more supportive vs more plush), adjustments (HSC and LSC), and how much they weigh
Yummy forks 😁 worth for next upgrade
Thanks man. Could you explain what '1.5T with 44mm Rake' represents. Cheers mate 👍🇦🇺
Thanks 🙏👍👍
I love my fox 34. Only thing is I’m confused with what you said because it’s a 150
The amount of travel available with a given model changes with each generation. The 36 used to cover the range of 150 through 180, for example, but the 38 has take over the role for anything more than 160.
Which one is perfect and not that expensive,enough too hit jumps
If I could find a decent frame at a decent price, I would consider building up around a 36
I'll take the orange bottom 32 PLEASE 🙏
Which would you recommend for a Marin san quentin hard tail, 140mm, 132lbs, all rounder trail. Fox 34 or lowered 36?
I’m (sadly) old enough to remember when a 100mm fork was considered the DH model.
Beauty !!
Can you still just buy a 170mm or 180mm air shaft from the older fox 36 and fit it to the 2021 model to extend the travel?
34 you can also get in 150mm
What’s the difference between the rhythm, performance, and factory
