FOX Racing Shox 34 Float 27.5 150 3Pos-Adj FIT4 Fork - 2016 Matte Black (15QR, 1.5 Tapered Steerer)

We weren't sure that such a winning formula could be improved on, but by adopting the lower weight, higher stiffness, and mechanical redesign of last year's 36 Float, the new 32 Float fork manages to shame its well-decorated predecessor. In addition to a few tweaks to structural minutia, the biggest change featured on the new 32 Float is that the Float Air Spring at its heart is now dual-chambered and self-equalizing. Gone is the negative coil of old, which makes for weight savings that take full advantage of the slim, fast stanchions' reduced bulk. If you want the fork to ramp-up harder, you can customize the spring's compression curve with internal spacers to fit the 32 Float to your specific tastes. Fit is something of a key word for FOX's reworked 32 Float line. The new model year's other major addition, the Fit4 damper adjustment system, highlights this focus on rider-specific fit by incorporating the word in its title. Instead of the overly prescriptive Climb, Trail, and Descend settings of CTD, the new 3-position Fit4 system toggles between the more descriptive Firm, Medium, and Open settings in a move that - as the name suggests - fits the fork's function to your needs. While this change may read like an exercise in semantics, it actually entails a radical realignment of the 32 Float's capabilities. The 32 Float's nearly five inches of travel push 29ers into the plush suspension game, and the new Open setting has been expanded to encompass the range once divided between Descend and Trail. The damper's 22 adjustable sub settings are now distributed across the more inclusive Open setting instead of the limited Trail.
