Superlight - FOX 32 Step Cast Performance 29er Fork Feature Review and Weight

[@Eduardo_Rezende]

Thanks for the video. Not easy to find out the actual weight of this model online. I found somewhere that the Factory mode weighs in at 1370g, which is 200g lighter. I didn’t suspect it was such a big difference in weight between models. Thanks again.

2021 cannondale fsi 5 has these and cannondale list them as fox 32 float factory in the video you described as one below factory??

[@stevenchristiansen289]

i have a 2019 SC Blur that came with a 32mm Performance Stepcast with a handlebar remote. So for servicing would this be considered a Fit-4 or a Grip damper. I ask because of the different oils needed for the damper side bath.

Hi James, I’m being a picky language guy, but hear me out. Watch your videos and “drink” every time you say “going to.” Then ask yourself, “Going to? When?” For instance, Fox is “going to” allow 4 spacers. (When?) Rather than future tense, use present tense: “This fork can take up to four spacers.” It’s not “going to”. It does now. Thanks for reading my (hopefully constructive) feedback! I’m “going to” love your reviews. 😉

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Fair criticism, and something that comes up during public speaking classes. I have a problem with "repeaters". On the plus side, while I take care of my issue, you have an awesome drinking game!

@@Jamesthebikeguy True. I didn't know I used a certain word in almost every other sentence until someone pointed it out to me. I became very conscious of that word and consciously tried not to use it. Now I sometimes notice that I never use that word when speaking. It was kind of something similar to 'you know that, you know this.'

Jamesthebikeguy - regarding the content, I currently own the Fox SC 32 Factory. I love the light weight on my XC climbing bike! The stock fork had a 51mm offset and I switched to the 44. It makes the steering more linear. A large offset is stable when straight, but starts to pull the wheel more and more as you turn the bars. It’s progressively more aggressive. A low offset is more eager to make small adjustments and is more eager to turn from straight, but I find it more linear and predictable as I turn the bars. I’m a climber and a downhill wimp(!) I plan to add a spacer or two and lower the pressure to make the fork more supple over small bumps. The spacers should keep it from sagging with low pressure, and would keep it from bottoming if I hit a surprise. But the big win is weight. It’s so light!

[@ilbrk]

Is it suitable for a lock/unlock lever on the handlebar? Or is it a manual version?

[@Marlonvelas94]

This suspensión is better than the rockshox reba ?

[@XD-mn9ht]

Yes

[@GINOMCLNTL]

Can I use this to my 27.5 bike?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

You would need a 29" fork

[@glenpiolofficial5825]

sir asking my frame is carbon and old model may be 2014 or 2016 asking if what recommended offset i need use , my frame is felfama fantasia thanks sir hopefully you answet my question

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Check with the frame manufacturer, or read the specs that came with the bike as fork offset is dependent on the exact bike

[@PAPADPOV]

Great fork and a sweet video!

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@Tiger24kicks]

I was recommended this fork by fox, I noticed it doesn't have a remote Lock out.

[@liviucolceriu]

Hello! Is the oem fork that is on bikes being sold heavier?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

I don't think so.

[@zap...]

44 mm offset is actually slower steering.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Reduces trail, thus it is quicker steering.

[@zap...]

@@Jamesthebikeguy Sorry buddy. A shorter-offset fork will produce more mechanical trail and slower steering.

[@bobcar1972]

Should I trust this fork on a emtb hard tail 100mm travel?

[@mariuskaupas]

No

[@lhongfontanosaii5498]

Hi. I am planning to have this suspension for my XC build. May I ask if a 29 x 2.4 tire can fit freely with this suspension?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

2.3" max tire clearance

[@josesepulveda9313]

Yes I have 2.4 ardents on my blur

[@breinertorres5607]

Pounds?

[@kentraras24]

Hi is it okay to put 203 rotor on fox 32 performance 29er?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Best to check the owner's manual to be sure.

[@snaphappy.mp4]

Planning to get a 29er version of this fork for my (small) 27.5 frame. Do you think it'll cause problems other than bike geometry?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Yes it will. Buy the correct fork, travel and wheelsize for it to work properly

[@chadh.3313]

My Rebound adjuster Piece on the bottom fell off? It still works though. Is that a problem?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

no

[@vegmario]

Hello, is this better than the RS Reba?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

This is more Sid

[@putheacheychoen3798]

What year was it produced?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

The video or the fork?

[@gustavomartinez6644]

What's the difference between Fox 32 SC performance and Fox 32 SC Factory?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Damper and coatings

[@양자역학-s3e]

Weight

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

Aren't fit and grip, two completely different damper models in fox range? You call this fork's damper a fit grip damper.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

First came the GRIP, now it is FIT GRIP for the basic damper.

[@bikerboyph1351]

Hm is this?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

?

[@bikerboyph1351]

I mean how much?

[@AustinPetDetective]

Everything but the PRICE ????????????.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

I ain't selling it to you so why should I be slinging prices
