Fox 32 Float 120 RL Fork
The Fox Float series has established itself in the XC world as one of the stiffest, plushest and most reliable forks on the racing circuit today. Fox forks and Fox Shocks have always had a stellar reputation for building some of the best suspension technology, and for 2012 the products just get better. The Fox 32 Float 120 RL combines the same chassis as the top-end models, with the proven Open Bath damper, providing you with rebound damping adjustment. Featuring the latest-tuned air spring curve for 2012, the F120 RL fork is as reliable as it is simple - pump it up to your weight, dial in the red rebound adjuster and you're ready to go!
From Fox:
"LIGHTER. SMARTER. FASTER. From the XC World Championship to the All-mountain World Championship, the Single Speed World Championship to a sunny, Sunday afternoon trail ride, the world's best riders rely on our ultra-lightweight 32 Float Series. For 2012, we improved air spring curves throughout the F-Series lineup, allowing more usable travel with lower compression ratios".
RL Open Bath Damper
The damper utilised in the RL series is the proven open-bath style that has continued to impress quietly 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 RL forks turns your plush 4" fork into a super-stiff platform that is great for riding long fire-road sections or just on the tarmac on the way to the trail.
