We’ve spent the last couple of months using the new RockShox ZEB — check out our updated review for thoughts on how it compares to forks like the RockShox Lyrik & Manitou Mezzer Pro, and who we think is going to get along best with it.
We’ve spent the last 3 months riding Fox’s burliest single-crown fork, the 38, and comparing it to other mainstays in the category to see just how much of a difference the bigger chassis (and new internals) make on the trail. Spoiler alert: it’s a significant difference, but there’s more to it. Check out our full review.
Manitou’s Mezzer Pro was one of the first “extra-stiff,” single-crown forks to hit the market, and we’ve spent the last 4 months comparing it to its growing competition. Check out our full review to see how it stacks up.
EXT’s custom shocks have been used on everything from F1 cars to motocross, but they also make some very interesting suspension components for mountain bikers. We’ve been testing the latest version of their Enduro-oriented Storia Lok shock, and it is very impressive. Check out our full review for an in-depth explanation.
The Float X2 is Fox’s most downhill-oriented air shock, and they made a lot of changes to it for 2021. Do those changes actually make a difference? We’d say yes, and also think they make it one of the standout air-shocks on the market today — whether you’re racing DH or just want better downhill performance out of your Trail bike.
Last year we started to see several of the best DH racers in the world using non-standard fork crowns, many of which turned out to be the Mojo MORC 40. They’re now available to the public, and we’ve been testing these offset-reducing crowns to see just how much of an impact they make on trail, and whether or not you need to be a World Cup racer to appreciate them.
The Marzocchi Bomber Z1 may be the best fork we’ve used when it comes to getting the most performance for your money.
Updated forks and shocks are often cases of evolution rather than revolution. But the new Rockshox Lyrik RC2 provides very discernible improvements over prior iterations, and you don’t need to be a world-cup-level racer to appreciate them.
If you like the sound of a lighter, more pedal-friendly shock that will improve the downhill performance of your Trail bike, the Fox Float DPX2 warrants a very serious look.
We put the new 2018 Pike RCT3 up against the 2017 fork, and weigh in on what’s different, what’s better, and what isn’t.
The Fox 36 RC2 Float might be the stiffest 27.5″ single crown fork we’ve ridden, but how does it stack up to forks like the RockShox Pike?
Fox just released their new Float DPX2 rear shock which builds on their already excellent Float line of shocks.
The Fox 40 has been the winningest fork on the World Cup for a few years, but how does it work for the rest of us?
Fox’s new DHX2 is one of the lighter DH shocks on the market, and it beats out the rest of the “big three” on performance.
The RockShox RS-1 is a highly-specialized fork that shines in technical terrain.
Manitou forks used to be ahead of their time, so how does their current Minute Expert measure up to today’s competition?
The new Fox 32 SC is the lightest and stiffest XC race fork we’ve ridden, and the price kills the competition
The MRP Loop has the best combination of stiffness, suspension performance, and tunability we’ve found in a 32mm stationed fork, and is still pretty competitive on price.
