Damn the biggest difference is the color

Edit: thanks for the likes 😘

All in the settings at this level. And most importantly what color matches your bike.

[griffincontracting]

I like the part where nothing useful is shown...

[brandonperez]

Nothing drives engagement like a good ol’ fashion rivalry.

[DCassidy]

It all depends on how well tuned the fork is for the riders weight and terrain.

Never let them know your next move
*SUNTOUR*

[leehorspool]

So many different variables, rider weight, fork setup, rider body position, and landing.

Goddamn those race techs are wizards, the tires stuck to the ground like glue

[RTHines]

When they're professionally tuned there's practically no difference

Looks like the Boxxer flex’s at the crown and the Fox flexes at the bushing interface.

[zacharywatson]

All depends on how u set them up, they are basically the same

[nikitazaycev]

Looks like boxxer is set to really low compression, it just blasts through 200mm of travel and bottoms out pretty hard (you can even see how the lowers deflect a bit). While fox is better setup with more compression and it softens the bottom out).

The thing is, the riders dont have the option to change the compression/rebound settings during the race, only at the beginning. So if the course is flat and there is one big gap at the end of it, they will most likely keep the compression at minimum anyways. While in freeride i personally would add some clicks to the compression specifically to hit that jump, so the forks dont suffer harsh bottom out

[SmilefitCoUk]

I think the Fox gave less of a impact to the rider but then we’d have to look into how strong each rider was at the time. Pretty sure there are better tests for suspension forks 👊🙃

[kalgiesenbrook]

Cool colors make you go faster. It's science.

[geemy]

first rider lands on the front wheel, so it takes a bigger impact, second one lands both wheel at the same time

[jonchaps]

The first rider (rockshox) had his weight over the front way more than the second rider (fox) who had their weight more to the rear!

[tbugofficial]

Rider and bike differences aside, looks like the 40 sticks to the ground better than the Boxxer after the landing.

[NeOn-kbjw]

What up with the video sound it sounded like my Mtb spoke is hitting something 💀

[cocacolaboy]

Ееееееее братка ты не путай. Просто ролик в котором 2 вилки с отличиями при дропе. А какие настройки у них степень сжатия, отсекок, преднагрузка, вот когда будут эти данные тогда и можно судить

[Lee-At-Green-Pheonix-Rc]

Different bikes different rear shocks its all about tuning and finding the happy medium between terrain rider and how well front works with the rear ans style or rear linkage and frames
