Fox 32 Float 140 RL Fork
The Fox FLOAT fork has been around for a long time now, and for very good reason. It is a main stay in the Fox line up that has been a rider favourite since its inception. With 140mm of travel the Fox Float RL fork uses the tried and tested open bath damping system that has proven itself to be reliable year after year. Combine that reliablity with a lightweight air spring and typical Fox suspension plushness that has made Fox forks so popular over the years.
And with the 2012 Fox fork range dropping prices across the board, you can now get the premium Fox Float at under a grand - why would you buy anything else?

From Fox:

"Our lightweight FLOAT trail fork, famous for its legendary damping performance and light weight is back with a vengeance for 2012, enhanced by improved air spring curves that increase usable travel with lower compression ratios. Available in 140 mm travel configurations, FLOAT offers the proven workhorse, our open bath RL damper, and with our new, lighter weight, optional 15QR thru axle system and confidence-inspiring FOX chassis, FLOAT's steering precision, front wheel control, and desirability just keep improving".

RL Open Bath Damper
The damper utilised in the RL series is the proven open-bath style that has proved itself amongst the Fox lineup for so many years. Attributes like plushness, reliability and ease of servicing make this a killer system that may not have all the bells and whistles as the top-of-the-range stuff, but is very close performance wise.

Rebound
Rebound adjustment is all about controlling how slow or fast your fork returns to full travel after hitting an obstacle. Dial the red knob clockwise and the fork slows down, dial the knob anti-clockwise and the fork speeds up in return. Our hot tip at My Mountain is to run the rebound on the slower side than what you might be used to, in order to allow your front tyre to stick to the trail and maintain better traction.

Lockout
The lockout feature on the RLC forks turns your big travel freeride fork into a super-stiff fork that is great for riding long fire-road sections or just on the tarmac on the way to the trail. The lockout "Threshold" is the black dial on top of the lockout lever that adjusts at what point the lockout disengages. Crank it up for a completely locked-out feel, or dial the threshold out so that the smallest bump from the trail will cause the fork to absorb the impact as normal.
