Fox Float DPS vs Float SL on Orbea Oiz

Hi guys,

I’m considering to buy an Orbea Oiz. I can get the 2023 M-PRO for 5000 eur, which seems like a good deal. I could also get the 2024 M-PRO for ~5270 eur. The 2024 version has a Fox Float SL Factory, whereas the 2023 a Fox Float DPS Factory. Is the newer Float SL worth an extra 270 eur? Also, the 2024 bike has an XT rear mech, instead of XTR on the 2023, but I don’t think this is an important factor.

These reviews made a few comparative remarks https://www.pinkbike.com/news/review-fox-float-shock-2024.html https://blisterreview.com/gear-reviews/fox-float-and-float-sl

Spending that kind of money already, I’d stump up the extra purely based on the DPS having been around for the best part of a decade already.

Alright, 2024 it is then. I managed to get another whooping 2% discount and ordered the 2024 for 5150 eur. Thanks 🙂
