I'm pretty sure it is normal, and I think they have a top out protection mechanism that you are pushing against. All IMO

Compress all the way and measure the amount of travel you have.

Several people seem to be having problems with the new Fox's not achieving full travel.

I sent mine back and got a refund.

Yes, it's a top out bumper. No forks I've ever measured actually give the full nominal amount of travel. It's generally measured on the basis of having no spring in them and at full compression - so in use will never get the full amount of stated travel.

Negative spring at the bottom of the spring leg, normal don't worry, enjoy the new forks! 😀

Yes it's to stop the fork topping out nastily.
