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 Год назад

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

@@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 Год назад

@@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!

Great video. Nice to see you mention the volume spacers since many people tend to forget that part of the tuning. I agree with the price point, since like you said, it comes down to what you want to spend and what you need the fork to do. I will say for most people a cheaper fork is the way to go since they want more of a preset and go fork.

@zmiller1840 Год назад

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 Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

@JaronBarendse Год назад

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 Год назад

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 Год назад

@@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 Год назад

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

@dudeonbike800 Год назад

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 11 месяцев назад

@StreetComp Год назад

I don’t have much mtb xp but I can tell you that Ohlins has been making excellent dampers for auto and motorcycle racing for a long time

@lucasbhogal3790 Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

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.

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.

Now go the other way and try a less expensive fork... DVO. In addition to air chamber volume there is also an external adjuster for the negative travel spring.

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.

very similar setup woes that a fox 38 has/ it’s different person to person with weights but the majority have way different settings compared to Fox baselines and similar fox products / took a month of bracketing and shock whiz sessions to see that it liked more LSC and LSR with 10-15 higher psi settings than Fox recommendations .

@EvansMTBSaga Год назад

Oh nice, new RS! My favorite fork to date was a Fox 36 Grip 2 with black stanchions on a rental bike. I hope to have a bike line-up like yours sometime!

About the features, you’re right, fox has a lot more adjustments than öhlins, but you didn’t mentioned the most important technology ölins has: the double air chamber with positive and negative air adjustments…this features permits you to come to a lot more adjustment and settings than a single air chamber…btw i have tried both the fox40 and ohlins dh38 and simply the feelings are different, two completely different forks, that can not be compared (it’s just about your preferences)

@asimplebiker04 7 месяцев назад

I mean, the two brands can’t be compared because uses two different technologies

@mauimaxmtb2154 Год назад

Great video! I was going through your links and wanted to ask. What are the different greases you use? Mainly the red one

@LukeRaymondMTB Год назад

If you get a fit4 damper, they have the same adjustability.

Evan trying to find the most good forks while me already comfortable of my 80mm stock air fork😭

@cjmpaja Год назад

Here's to hoping Evan tests out a Suntour fork. They're pretty darn good forks for the money spent... I personally use a durolux. It's pretty decent. Gonna test it with some oil in the lowers if the ride improves...

@EvansMTBSaga Год назад

Oh yeah is that the one with grey lowers? I'd like to test those

@cjmpaja Год назад

@@EvansMTBSaga it depends on what suntour fork. The Durolux can come with either gray lowers, or standard gloss black lowers.

@EvansMTBSaga Год назад

I love the grey lowers!

Fellow desert rider, nothing gets you quite so spooked as almost smashing into a cholla.

Yoooooo What about marzocchi bomber z2 comparing with 34fox 😁🤔

@can_with_beans Год назад

Me about to send that drop on my broken, non functional, Canadian Tire MTB from 6 years ago. (The bottom bracket is so fucked me and the bois had to press fit a new one, the rear pivot has a 1 inch wobble, and the rear shock doesn't actuate so ot's basically a hard tail)

@pawel102 Год назад

if you use lsr it also affects hsr. slow return is about 1/3 of the deflection, not 2/3. btw i am a licensed ohlins brand service technician.

@EvansMTBSaga Год назад

Well since you're a licensed Ohlins technician, maybe you should be a little nicer instead of ridiculing someone. You're giving the brand a bad name

@EvansMTBSaga Год назад

What's your name so I can file a complaint with Ohlins?

@pawel102 Год назад

you're doing bad ad to ohlins, not me. you make rewiev with something that you have no idea, and viewers believe what you say, the come to the shop and start a debate with the service technician that they know better because they saw it on RU-vid. you are a youtuber and I can express my opinion even more if it is true

@NonLegitNation2 Год назад

this was a great video. I don't think I've ever even heard of Ohlins except for I think rear shocks. It's nice to see a mtb fork video on something other than RockShox or Fox. You should maybe do a video on the different brands of air forks because I think alot of people are like me and only really heard of Fox and RockShox.

@hed1fsu 3 месяца назад

Been riding mtb for 20+ yrs.. and have never set sag for my own shocks. Just whatever feels "right".. whatever that means haha.

@mtbboy1993 Год назад

For enduro fork you should try EXT ERA V2, I have the first gen fork. it has two air chambers so it's easy to adjust on the trail. If building a 26er, for a small person or a kid, you should get Rock Shox Dual Air, as it has two air chambers, shame Rock Shox no longer do this, huge mistake in my opinion.

@th_js Год назад

Not sure what you're talking about, pretty much all air forks have 2 chambers.

@mtbboy1993 Год назад

@@th_js That's not what I mena, I mean two separate chambers you can adjust independently.
