Fox or SID

Ffluff

Hi All,

Upgrading forks on Yeti ASR (07) and finding it hard to decide between the SIDs and the new Fox forks.

Only want 100mm travel, don't ride hard - xc only - so its about finding the best control/comfort I can for the money with weight an issue but not the overriding one.

Does the FIT cartridge give Fox the advantage?

Cheers

There is very little difference between the two, personally i'd got for some sid teams as they're rather nice.

they look good - in terms of weight there's little between them and there seems to be more adjustability on the SIDs.. nice one, cheers

My Fuel came with Fox RL FIT Remote forks and they were horrible! Really notchy in the travel, I sold them and replaced with some SID Teams, which were also 1/4lb lighter. Admittedly I didn't give them time to bed in, but the SIDs were days and nights better out of the box.

Fox are very well known to be quite bad out of the box or on new bike. At least thats the experience of mine and riding buddies. Had to ride at least 100+miles to bed them inn and used Fork Juice spray to improve things. Since then, they are buttery smooth.

seems to me then, that there is very little between the SID and the Fox so its a case of personal preference (based on cost, looks etc..) I'm running Reba's currently and have had no cause for complaint so I think it's gonna have to be the SIDs

Cheers for your advice

Looking to sell the Reba's? Anything amiss? Might be interested!

Horses for courses...I would have Fox over RS anyday from past experience as all mine have been ultra reliable...albeit they are a massive 4 oz's heavier...lol
