Is a $1000+ mountain bike fork worth it?

Is buying a suspension fork for over $1000 worth it? Will it be the solution to your problems? I bought the all new 2022 Ohlins RXF34 m.2 to find out.

Whoa, 30% fork sag? That's way more than usual, I run 10-20%... That's what most manufacturers recommend as well.

Re-valving Fox could make a huge difference in how it feels. Won't affect the chassis stiffness though, but still worth a shot

The new ohlins forks have no area for tokens but they have a second air chamber on the bottom of the fork. Were you can adjust progression

I prefer my Yari over my Fox 36 Grip 2 kashima. The Yari is much more plush, eats up the little bumps and feels much more refined than my 36. The 36 was rough and wasn't sensitive to small bumps and chatter.

I think the most adjustment in a fork or rear shock doesnt come from the damper, but the ability to affect the spring curve in general, for example by using Tokens, or 2 positive air chambers, an expandable negative air chamber or completely independant adjustible air chamber. only if these things are setup right, high adjustible damping brings you into paradise of suspension setup and feel

No. A $1300 fork that 90% of riders won’t ever use hard enough for the differences to matter is not a wise decision. Most riders can be comfortable knowing that their $250 fork will do absolutely everything they need for their skill level.

Wouldn't adding a volume spacer make the fork more harsh? Generally a larger air volume means a more plush suspension but with a higher chance of bottoming out whereas a smaller air volume will be less plush with less chance of bottoming out.

Your suspension is more expensive than my whole MTB😭

[obsidian]

When these forks cost more than your whole bike 👁️👄👁️

Hi pls review a cheapest coil fork in the world

[danielvelasquez]

$1300 on Ohlins nope really don't have that kind of money for that, I have two bikes in Southern California, one I am planning to sell is Gt Aggressors QR with Stan's S1, and the issue that I have that bike on OfferUp for over 9 months either lowball offer or potential scammers. Would spend at least half of $1300 for Bomber Z2 as I am convinced in trying out.

[RomansDowntime]

Hmm, feel like this question has been asked before… pretty sneaky 🤣

[sjokkomann]

If I was you I had upgraded to 36mm stanchion👌

[mikedonaldson]

You should have went with a Rock Shox flight attendant!

[BlindingSun_]

If I’m paying more than a grand for a fork it better be a Manitou Dorado

[SitLessRunMore]

Would it be possible to put a fox 38 170mm-180mm on the polygon sisku t7

[jpxc]

You don’t have to take the brakes and shifters off when doing a fork like whay

[VikSkiKat]

That is the worst build scene music Ive ever known. Haha!

[takocat]

I don't know why am I watching this video I have a SunTour fork that weighs more than that bike 🤔😐
