^not really n'dee are not travel adjustable which is the hugh benefit of these fox's. It means you can basically use them on a light DH rig and use that same rig as an all mountain beast.

depends if you want performance or compromise that with adjustability really.

I know which I'd rather have.

"all mountain beast" is 180mm travel forks now is it?
Show me some "all mountain" riding in this country that requires 180mm travel.....and I'll show you a 140mm zesty that can spank that terrain easily....

LOL at the fan-boy notion that someone's fitting of a certain headset to a set of forks means anything about that headset's durability.

Really TLR, you make it too easy...

I think Fox keep pulling threads like these.

As for Chris King, I guess a 1.5" steerer is not going to flex so much so the headset is less likely to rip into the steerer. Anyone who hasn't had these issues with long travel 1.1/8" steerer forks clearly isn't riding hard enough ๐Ÿ˜‰

Lovely, but who needs 180mm forks in the south of England?

If they are priced at less than a grand, I'll eat my Pikes.
