The factory series upgrade is £310.

I have 2015 Factory 34's with a Mojo tune and they said that it wasn'y worth upgrading to FIT4 performance but was worth it for the factory upgrade. I only paid £400 for the forks so I'm not willing to drop £310 on a service and damper.

To be honest, I quote like mine. They're a huge improvement over the 2013 model which was awful.

I have just been quoted:

£184 for FIT4 upgrade and £310 for the cartridge! Yikes. That's more than I paid for the forks!

I imagine what you have been quoted for there is the Fit 4 cartridge upgrade and service at £184 and then the £310 would be the cost if you wanted to upgrade to the latest airspring which requires a new CSU unit.

Both just under £400. Interesting alternatives. Mega pleased with my mattoc.

I sent my F34 away last week via LBS for this offer £184 FIT4 including Service (we confirmed it before sending my forks away too). Haven't heard back yet.

Mojo FIT4+Service offer

My 2015 34s aren't awful just not brilliant. But the 2016 34s are supposed to be the mutt's proverbials.

£184 for FIT4 upgrade and £310 for the cartridge! Yikes. That's more than I paid for the forks!

That's mental. Almost £500 when the RRP of a new 2016 24 is £750!

Personally, that'd send me online to a european web site for a new pair...

As for Fox prices, good luck selling a used set and having enough for new pike. My 2014 34's are not as good as pike's but they cost £300 new a year ago which was nearly half what I could find the correct pike for at the time. They're a really good pair of forks imo, much better than you'd believe from reading the Internet and at the time the RS were not worth nearly twice as much.
