Fox 32 Talas 140 RL Fork One of the most revered travel-adjust forks on the market, the Fox Talas fork has dominated the XC/Trail/All Mountain market for many years with its cleverly designed external travel adjuster and its ability to remain sensitive at any travel setting. The Talas RL fork gets you this world beating pedigree at an amazing price. The proven Open Bath damping works seamlessly with the newly refined chassis to create a fork that is plush, stiff and very sensitive to small bumps. Great news for those who go hard! The Talas RL can also switch between 140 & 110mm of travel with the flick of a lever meaning you can get back up the hill quick for another white knuckled descent.
From Fox:
"Master the mountain. For 2012, we have produced more usable travel with lower compression ratios for better performance and durability, with improved air spring curves. Travel adjustments are now easier and quicker, with the new 2-position TALAS system that instantly changes travel between 140-110mm".
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 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.
