    What do you think of the limited edition gold colour? Cool or too much bling?

    That reverse arch looks wild. Also awesome for catching and holding a tonne of racing mud and dirt!

      The cutout section on the back face of a conventional arch is a huge mud trap

      It's actually the opposite of that. Think about the direction of wheel rotation.

      You don't know which way wheels roll huh 😂😂

    • @bikeradar
      @bikeradar  8 месяцев назад +3

      It should actually be better than a normal fork brace, with the rotation of the wheel and all the cutouts.
      Look at the back of a shaved away regular fork arch and you'll see a mud trap

    So I guess the 2002 Manitou fork is back , now with added GOLD.

    • @bikeradar

      Manitou still doing it 22 years later 😉
      And we'll pass on the 22 year old fork thanks!

    Not even FOX could color match their Kashima stanchions and they too had to go with the, "Well, it's close enough" approach.

    Can't wait for a head2head with the new Boxxer (and maybe the Ohlins as well). Just got the Boxxer and it's absolutely great. Curious if Fox can beat it.

    • @ridedirtymtb9938
      @ridedirtymtb9938 6 месяцев назад

      definitely seems like a step back on the fit4 on the old 34 stepcast. lot of money to pay for limited adjustability.

  • @udontseemebutiseeyou
    @udontseemebutiseeyou 8 месяцев назад +4

    Idk why anyone should bother with the 32TC 40mm gravel forks when this new 32sc weighs the same with 100mm of travel

    • @bikeradar
      @bikeradar  8 месяцев назад +2

      Very true, but it would ruin a gravel bikes geometry with that much travel!
      Some would argue why bother with suspension on a gravel bike at all when they're close to or heavier than the weight of a hardtail

    Reverse arch always looks like you just bought your bike from Halfords.....

    • @bikeradar
      @bikeradar  8 месяцев назад +3

      Its a different look, but at least the brake caliper is mounted the right way round with these, rather than the fork just being fitted backwards 😉

      You sure can! The 34 SC chassis is unchanged, so the new Grip SL will fit you fork

    The gripx is a less tunable damper
    But the damping is the same …..with like u forget …the gripx hast the same valve ….
    Not all riders benefit from100 clicks on their forks ….
    But also usually your videos lack a quite bit of info..

    • @bikeradar
      @bikeradar  8 месяцев назад

      The valve is the same, but it lacks the high-speed rebound adjustment and gains the firmer mode, which the Grip X2 lacks.
      Completely agree not all riders benefit from loads of adjustment and if thats you, the Performance series Grip damper gives you that and is really good!

      @@bikeradar I run Lefty so I do not necessarily mind that kind of price tag. The Fox stuff just is not that good (anymore).
      I had one of the old Magura forks with the integrated rim brake stuff years ago. They had a reversed bridge and I often had to stop because of stuff in there and crashed once. I think it has something to do with the pulling vs dragging physics, but what do I know...

      It is similar, a bit more across the board though, in the UK at least.
      A 32 SC Factory is around £150 more expensive than the Sid SL Ultimate for example
