I really want to know what your preferred settings were for the Rockshox Zeb on the rough and steep dh trails. I've played with my Lyrik a bit and have been preferring full compression on everything with 30% sag. Wonder if it could feel even better though if I added a token or two, increased the psi and brought the compression down a little. Any thoughts about that...?
I'd like to see you guys get a hold of the Push inverted fork. You guys are homies with the owner right? Great test btw...and I'm learning to love my Ohlins
Great job guys this is a great vid...Need to throw in there the manitiou mezzer pro and ext ERA and possibly the push nine one. i would love to see another vid with a back to back nine one vs fox 38 and ohlins 38
Marzocchi Super Z is the same Fox basic 38 Rhythm. Why to review it when they got flagmen of each manufacturer? In this case you should test ZEB's lower modules etc.
+1 on Vital's impressions of Ohlins. The dual chamber gives you grip and support without sacrificing one for the other. Very tunable, calm, and durable. (no creaks!)
Formula fork also has a dual chamber in there race version of all there forks, I have the selva r which is the singe crown version with dual air chaimbers and its a game changer, allows you to dial in small bump and then also ramp up
@@thermonuculur Formula fork is an order of magnitude higher than Ohlins, Fox and Sram. The other speaker is absolutely right. At the same time, no additional tokens are needed in the chamber! The entire adjustment is a change of CTS in 5 minutes right on the track. But first, you need to change Gold CTS to Blue or Red or Green.
I really liked my Ohlins fork but then I put a fox 38 on my bike to try a slightly less travel and boy did it make me fall back in love with the ohlins when I put it back on it. It just works so well and if I'm going to bike park I'll increase the ramp up pressure and when I'm on a trail ride I'll drop it down. Its amazing but I'm still tempted to try the coil conversion.
I may have missed it, but did you guys remove the negative spacer from the Ohlins 38? Some reviewers say doing that makes it even more sensitive than the Zeb
You know that in ohlins you have tokens in negative chamber? Ther is one for start, you can add one and have two or take one out and hava non this and 10-15% static sag givs you almoust coil spring fealing. Compresion tune for start is C40 is to litle for 80-90kg riders
While I think that the overall quality of the test is high, the overview sections are hard to listen to. Seemingly reading off the manufacturers marketing material does not improve video quality. A light weight test rider would have been a great addition.
Was definitely a little disappointed with the finish quality of the Onyx 38. The paint/powder coat chipped off in big chunks very easily. I’ve never experienced this with a Fox or RS fork. 😢
29:10 Formula explains this with that it would cost them $100 million to change the cast for the lowers between every model, so they just go with the same lowers for all their forks.
since you all tested the forks on your own bike on the same trails to keep it consistent, it would be also good to have someone test them that weighs around 65kgs
Was the negative air chamber spacer removed from the Ohlins? I have a 3.0 Zeb and the RFX38 and I found the Ohlins noticeably smoother over small chop, I thought I had low air pressure in my tire.
Formula is on to something with an enduro dual crown that uses 15mm axles and tapered steerer tube. I promise you won't notice the reduced turning radius of a dual crown when going over 20mph.
@@alexgordon8277there is more to a DC fork than stiffness. I have a Dorado on my Patrol and there is a level of confidence it gives you that a SC cannot give. I really notice it when I go back forth between my bikes.

Shocks are so dependent on the suspension design as well as the intended focus of the bike it goes on. I don’t know if there is a universal way to get the best shock for all bikes. Perhaps categories for short travel, long travel, progressive, all rounders?
@@mikes.8305yes, too many variables in a whole system, like people think you need progressive linkage to run coil, but that's because linear linkages require progressive compression damping that's way outside the OEM range and bike brands just didn't bother for a custom tune.
@@mikes.8305you're rights but from the video i see that guys rode different bikes so i can imagine that they would testing shock in various frames with different characteristics.
I've always found CaneCreeks coil shocks to be amazing. Love that all the adjustments works independently with no crossover. Have the Kitsuma on my enduro and the 2025 DHX2 on my DH bike. Hard to say which is the better - its two completely different bikes after all, but the fact that you have to use tools/allen wrenches to adjust the DHX2 is annoying AF as I like to do quick changes on the trail to get immediate feedback. Quick/on the go changes is just a chore compared to the finger/toolless adjusters on the Kitsuma.
@@xuseg Intend was not included because it would tear everyone apart during the test. Although no! They will deliberately lower its ratings like Formula. Because they need to force hamsters to buy Sram, Fox, Ohlins forks.
@@vitalmtb Awesome I'll be excited to see that -- Currently can't find the coil conversion in Canada but hope to find it soon to try. Love the fact you can in theory switch back and forth.
@@JeepingNet more than "in theory", it's super easy to swap back and forth. As for feedback on the coil, yep, it works great. In the right circumstances it's of course very smooth, but you do give up the high level of tunability that the dual-chamber air spring provides, so depending on the range of different trails you ride, you might be better off with the air set-up. Coil in a fork is pretty sensitive to spring weight, more so than a shock which works in tandem with the leverage ratio and curve of the frame.
Have not ridden the Ohlins, but I run a 38 and my bike and have ridden a few Zebs on other bikes. Between the two, I find the Zeb is a hair smoother off the top, and the 38 is just a hair more stable on big hits (probably the HSR coming into play). My personal preference is for the 38, but if my bike came with a Zeb instead I wouldn't be in any hurry to get rid of it. Interested to try the Ohlins.
i'm a light rider at 160lbs geared up, so an enduro fork only need be 35mm stanchions for me! i have a few, zeb-lyrik-diamond d1-fox 36- Helm mkii the standout is the zeb. running 180 for park days and it's ultra. the Helm is my #2 fave in the group. hard trail riding makes it sing..
i wonder how much worse a fox 38 performance with normal grip damper is and how much difference between zeb base and zeb ultimate is, since only the ultimate has the butter cups
especially after hearing your thoughts on the öhlins I woulf love to compare it to my mezzer pro. I had to habe the bushings calibrated but after that it became a very decent fork. Would like to do some testing....
I owned both a Mezzer and Ohlins' RXF36 and 38, and the Mezzer felt very similar to the RXF forks. Ohlins' has the best support and comfort I've gotten out of a fork, when set up right. Only changed from the Mezzer because I had 2 steerers creak. The Mezzer stiffness seemed close enough to the 38 but truthfully the 36 was stiff enough for Enduro too, overbuilt compared to a Fox 36.

Probably take best out of the title when you are not testing EXT, Push and Intend. Personally just got an Intend flash and its insane how much more mid support and traction it has over Fox 38 and Zeb, Intend and Push are alittle zesty on price for the normal market tho lol
Which model/year/damper Fox 38 and Zeb? SRY but people often buy the newest generation of one product and goes "oh it's so much better then the competition", completely forgetting that they are comparing it to an outdated design that has already been replaced by something better.

I currently ride the Zeb and Vivid on my SC Nomad 6. In the past I was a fox fanboy. I've changed and won't go back (Sorry!) even though fox is still amazing. Cheers :)
@tomasstraka5244 they really aren't that bad. I had a 140/150mm aion a few years ago. In 18 months it never gave me an issue other than the axle being awkward to use. Used it for 70miles of commuting during the week, and 30-60miles of fun at the weekend, in all weathers, every week. It did xc, general trail thrashing, dirtjump, downhill, and a bit of everything on my hard-core hardtail. Never even had a leaky seal, and never serviced it till I sold the bike. Don't bag on them, they make good budget gear.
My Ohlins 38 fork was absolutely awful, I got it a couple of months after release, initially great, but after two rides it went super harsh, I could lift myself off the floor without the fork even compressing, it went back to ohlins 3 times for repair and they never solved it, ended up giving me a refund. Bought a Zeb afterwards and that's been fine from day one
Just like cheap phones and cheap cases if the come with a case and screen protector they are compensating for something in the design of the main product it's a tatic that makes your brain think " this is awesome " to swerve your attention away from the issue in the first place! What I think when see forks with "free mudguards" what are they hiding, or they are just not reliable.
How do you leave out EXT Era? It is the best air fork on the market Even at 36mm stanchions it outperforms the other offerings. Ohlins is similar in its damping but EXT is more advanced system. Disappointed
@@vitalmtb I’ve seen it, 3+ years ago. This video 2024 is about comparing the best enduro forks on market and it was left out. If you are leaving out some better offerings can it really be titled best enduro forks of 2024? Disappointed
Its no surprise that Fox and Rockshox are here. They've been making big boy double crowns for a long long time and Rockshox based on my local suspension shop - is leading with most innovation, at least on the Fork side and also with durability. That said, gotta wonder if this is any better gear than what Minaar ran on his old Honda with Showa suspension.
We got word from X Fusion that this was a pre-production sample. The internals have since been updated to fix the top-out and rattling issues we experienced.
