Is a $1000+ mountain bike fork worth it?

Is buying a suspension fork for over $1000 worth it? Will it be the solution to your problems? I bought the all new 2022 Ohlins RXF34 m.2 to find out.

Strangely, the amount of clicks doesn't always tell the whole story. Each manufacturer usually has their own valving design which makes the amount of clicks subjective. Even if you set up both forks identically they will act differently. Great video!

[@MisterCOM]

Yes but more does mean more possible settings and thus more chsnce of getting it just right for yourself

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Haha yup I definitely experienced that!

[@lucamartinelli7953]

@@MisterCOM not at all

[@MisterCOM]

@@lucamartinelli7953 if your fork has more "clicks" it allows for a wider range of adjustment between its defined minimum and its maximum and thus allows for more on the fly adjustment.

[@williamconsorti2063]

@@MisterCOM Not necessarily. You are talking about "Range of adjustment". The number of clicks divides the increments of adjustability of that range. You could have Very little range, but 40 "Clicks". In that case you would not feel any difference when adjusting the Fork/Shock. On the opposite end you could have a Huge range, but 3 Clicks. In that case you would really feel the difference between each setting. Cheers!

[@JaronBarendse]

30% sag seems like a lot for a fork to me. Most I've seen recommended is in 15-20% range. You get a lot harsher of a feeling setting at 30% and running that many tokens because it ramps up extremely fast. Would be cool for you to make a video comparing less tokens and less sag to more tokens and more sag. I've come to realize from my own experimentation less sag and less tokens usually gives an overall more supple feel at the top with a supportive feel in the mid stroke.

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Sounds like a cool idea! I'm used to running sag at 20%, but Ohlins and yeti both recommend 30%. Going to be fun to experiment with it seeing how the bike build is one video away from completion

[@JaronBarendse]

@@EvansMTBSaga Just curious where you read read that? Ohlins documentation I've read suggests 10-15% for an rxf 34. Totally understand the 30% sag on the rear shock as that's pretty standard. Just hoping you are getting the most out of that suspension! Your videos are awesome!

[@dandantillthen588]

I think you should use only 1 token and go for 15% sag .

[@dudeonbike800]

Vorsprung or someone else makes this exact argument: people falsely believe more sag will give a more compliant feel. Instead, you're reducing your travel 10% AND hitting the steep section of the air curve too quickly. So you get less compliance. Counter-intuitive for sure. But higher pressures will keep you in the more compliant area of the air spring curve. Great video! Thanks.

[@marklouieadame]

I agree i use 1 token sag 15-20 then fine adjustment on compression and rebound you get to enjoy the travel and progressive air pressure

[@zmiller1840]

In all honesty a majority of hobby riders don't spend enough time on trail to notice a difference between a mid level and high end damper. An easy to set basic damper is far better for an average rider. Adding more clicks actually gives more chance to really whack out your suspension unless you understand what each one does.

[@sufyanm4661]

I think moving through from low end to mid range to high end would help a lot of riders. Also if anyone has something like a fox grip or rockshox charger 2.1 rc2, then bracketing would really help to isolate each setting

[@munkycox]

I'm far from a pro but I can feel the difference in a better damper. Also the damper has nothing to do with the level of adjustment. Currently I'm running a Zeb charger R that only has rebound adjustment but it feels better than the recon with a MoCo damper I had on a previous bike that had rebound and low speed compression.

[@ssslash583]

The reason the fork felt so harsh off the top with the stock volume spacers and 30% sag is because the lower the sag, the more sensitive the fork is off the top, so next time something like that happens I would recommend to try a lower sag such as 25%.

The answer is No. It will always be no. Why? Because you can buy the last gen fork used for 1/4 the price, put a brand new service kit through it, and bam. you just saved 700$ . Also, You are going to miss Arizona. Yes bentonville is great to ride, but youre in a 50m pocket and there isnt anything else good for hundreds of miles. From phoenix, you have Fins, north, south, east, west, etc trails. I moved to NE oklahoma and I really hate the riding out here compared to the desert mountain trails. NOT to mention, you will get rained out of being able to ride probably about 35% of the days you have off.

[@EvansMTBSaga]

You should look at Trailforks for Bentonville and surrounding areas. There's at least 10 different trail systems and a dedicated bike park within 100 miles, if not more. I only go to fins to film, it's rather boring. I don't even find South Mountain to be fun anymore. It's not fun to climb an hour straight to ride decent downhills

What most don't realize is, most forks from all mtb fork brands are actually made in the same handful of factories. Like Giant bikes making frames for alot of different mid tear to high-end brands. Suntour makes close to half if not 60% of all MTB forks on the market from various brands. The remaining 40% in other chinese mass bike component factories. Your just paying for the name, in house development of dampners. The stanchions and fork bodies are basically almost identical in material used other then design and stanchion coatings.

[@matteojay6052]

[@jacob.rausch]

1: You're taking away points for "less adjustability" but it's not any different in the extremes, it's just a more gradual change for the fox. And i know you're 100% BS if you say you can tell the difference between one click on the fox fork 2: yeah the best part of öhlins is the adjustability. You can make if feel literally however you want. I got öhlins and it's so much better than any other suspension I've tried

[@buckroger6456]

Great video. Nice to see you mention the volume spacers since many people tend to forget that part of the tuning.

[@benjy288]

Many people don't realize that you can adjust your fork by changing the damper oil weight, I have a 35mm revelation that has the motion control damper, which actually performed pretty well, except for dealing with fast braking bumps, and in general it was a bit harsh overall, so I changed the damper oil from 5w 16.1 cst to 2.5w 6.7cst and boy what a difference, it feels great now, at least as good as my old lyric with the charger damper, I did have to add an extra 5psi to compensate, plus turn the rebound to full slow otherwise the fork would rebound too fast, but you can play around with different weights, and its super cheap too.

[@The.JZA.]

Wouldn't adding a volume spacer make the fork more harsh? Generally a larger air volume means a more plush suspension but with a higher chance of bottoming out whereas a smaller air volume will be less plush with less chance of bottoming out.

[@krunkikrofna]

I think the reason they dont let you adjust the top of your travel is to avoid hard bottom outs because you made it too soft and therefore increasing the forks life a bit. But ohlins knows their stuff, they have the best suspension for motorcycles and amazing coilovers for cars

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Pretty smart I'd say haha. I just wish their forks had the look of their off-road stuff

Keep in mind Fox has more than usable adjustment, Öhlins probably does not do that, thus less clicks. you can lock out the fox fork with the compression adjustments, rebound adjustment is the same you can make it dive or be a pogo stick. What matters is having an usable adjustment range.

I jave the Fox fork in my regular bike as well as in my e-bike. I am thinking of trying the Öhlins on my ebike Sworks Turbo SL since it rides fast and the shock is very harsh in rock terrain.

[@lucasbhogal3790]

I think the most adjustment in a fork or rear shock doesnt come from the damper, but the ability to affect the spring curve in general, for example by using Tokens, or 2 positive air chambers, an expandable negative air chamber or completely independant adjustible air chamber. only if these things are setup right, high adjustible damping brings you into paradise of suspension setup and feel

[@rrolleman4879]

And for the most part, don't adjust to 30% sag. That actually makes your fork more harsh since you'll be further in your travel before it starts to compress. Most forks work best with 15-20% sag.

D@mn, dude! That's some awesome editing. Must have been a pain in the butt, but the result is 👌.

Haha I did it when I had some free time off of work on paternity leave. Way overkill and it didn't really help the views 💀

[@dukeofmtb]

@Evans MTB Saga lol. Sounds about right. I feel ya man.

That suspension is worth way more then my 183 dollar kona lanai

[@RomansDowntime]

Hmm, feel like this question has been asked before… pretty sneaky 🤣

[@ShoneDaddy]

You should know that you have to break a fork in as well before it starts to feel good

[@Twentykixx]

This was a strange review, will not be back here… this guy is playing whatever is the current trend… bye! 👎🏼

[@EvansMTBSaga]

What trend? You make no sense.

$1300 on Ohlins nope really don't have that kind of money for that, I have two bikes in Southern California, one I am planning to sell is Gt Aggressors QR with Stan's S1, and the issue that I have that bike on OfferUp for over 9 months either lowball offer or potential scammers. Would spend at least half of $1300 for Bomber Z2 as I am convinced in trying out.

I love ohlins just cuz colour

I'm currently considering upgrading my forks I currently have xcr32 with lockout and rebound adjustment, I just changed my gearset including pedals to xr same with brakes, anyone recommend a decent fork for cross country riding ?

[@Digital_Gangster]

[@caseys_cozy_garage]

Recently I bought RockShox Recon with remote lock before this one I was with Sr Suntour without air and I can't see any big differences in the ride quality between the RockShox and the SR Suntour my old fork. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance! :)
