Hi folks, just brain picking, I’m looking at a 2016 Mondraker foxy, I know the rear ends used to be a bit temperamental a few years ago, just wondering if anyone has any more recent experience good or bad? Thanks muchly.
2014/15 alloy Foxy's had their issues, but never seen issues with Carbon ones. I owned a Foxy carbon for 18 months and it was a good bike but not without it's issues. Main thing to keep an eye on with first gen carbon Foxy's are linkage bolts and the rear axle. The design of the rear axle is pretty dumb and after a while mine just kept coming loose. Likewise the linkage bolts, they have a tendency to shake themselves loose unless you loctite the bejesus out of them.
I've had a carbon dune for over a year, no problems so far although as mentioned above the linkage bolts do work loose pretty easily. Looked at a foxy xr when I bought it but it was a fair bit more £££ so went with the dune, best bike I've owned but needs 2 b ridden fast or can be hard work
