Here's why we think there is no better XC fork than this: first of all, it's a Fox, so the guts are all machined in the USA of genuine aluminum. Companies mass-producing their plastic-crap forks overseas always seem to run into quality-control issues. Now, some stuff made overseas is often plenty good stuff, but when you're talking suspension design--something that requires so much testing and constant revision--Fox has certain advantages. No other fork comes close to the X series when it comes to solving the inherent problem of suspension bob and power perservation. We also love the side effects of inertial valve technology--no dive when you hit the front brake, softer suspension setting options and better quality of travel. TerraLogic's inertial valve frees your spring setting from having to be efficient, because all the efficiency is handled by the inertia valve. All the travel you get from the Fox X series fork is pure bump absorbing travel, with none wasted on keeping you propped up. It's so impressive that you forget all the basic Fox features: the super-stiff shell and oversize 32mm stanchions, the hollow double-barrel crown, and the amazing quality of construction.
