Was the FOX 40 Worth It? | Setup and Review 

Emotobros, any response to the comment above? Also, not sure in I missed it, but did you ever mention your guys rider weights and psi?

You only need a drop crown for the newest Fox 40 forks. They have shorter stanchions. I would suggest to buy the older non-boost Fox 40s. The 137mm are important (for MTBs) because otherwise the tire of DH Bikes could hit the lower crown. The wheels of the Surron are smaller so you can move the lower crown downwards. You just have to messure the travel so you know how far you can go. It is possible to ride most of the Fox 40s with the stock bearings and the standard upper crown. There are some videos about this. Of course the drop crown is the better solution. The 5mm spacers for the brake disc are only necessary if the new fork is a boost fork. I bought a used 2016 Fox 40 Factory Kashima for 700€ and I did not need them. But you have to check the length of the steerer tube. You need at least 175mm if you use a direct mount stem, otherwise add the height of your stem. Most used DH forks have shorter steerer tubes.

We’ve been waiting for our fox rear shocks for 5 months now or else we would have it out!

@@emotobros hell yeah!! Sweet okay

Glad to hear it, definitely the best fork for the money in our opinion 🤘🏽

@@emotobros I agree, now I need wheels.. I've done everything else. Wheels is all I have left to upgrade. Keep up the solid content.

Where did you buy them?

@@BobbyD-Lo ebay 7-8 months ago

@@briandhoward6137 worth the money? I'm running rst killahs they are a bit mooshy

look into the marzochi..its less than the fox

I like my DVO!

@@hometownguy7184 Also owned by Fox.

@@jayesh5131 still less than fox

@@surronzak8154 No doubt

Yes came from moto. For anything but the track or wide open fire roads we think the SurRon is better. Once battery capacity/charge times become lower though they’ll probably start phasing out gas bikes. The noise is a huge part of the reason so many tracks near cities shut down. These solves that.

We sold ours on FB because the group is pretty active. Not sure where else would work.

Go to the part links in the description

what for do you need them over the stock one's ?

@@surronzak8154 all depends what type of riding you do. I go up/down steep inclines, rocks and mud terrain, I can say I have tested these to the limit. They have a smoother rebound that can be adjusted to suit your riding style.

What size are your forks the 27.5 or the 26"?

@@Fighter4Street i run the 27.5 with maxxis 70/100-19 tyres

@@JayJay-loz I still wish I knew the issues of running a 27.5" fork when the bike was designed for a 26" fork. I know he was talking about a steep rake, I wonder if there are any noticeable issues.

They’re getting so popular that the factory can’t make them quick enough!

Yep!

We bought them a while ago. But yeah pretty much everything is out of stock right now unfortunately.

Came with the fork

Hoping for a month or two.

Hit me up on Facebook messenger and I can build you a wheel set no problem

You could run the sm pro wheels. I've got 2021 40's i love them, but I haven't used the OEM ones much, as that's probably what your used too.

What do you mean it turns different? Are you using a 27.5" fork?

We don't. We measured and there is basically no room to spare as far as travel is concerned. If we were going to do it again we'd likely buy a drop crown.

@@emotobros - Awesome video guys..!! love the channel. - as a follow up question, I see that a drop crown is needed for a 2021 + Fox 40... My Fox 40 is a 2015 model, does that mean I DO NOT need the drop crown on my surron....? I'm a little confused.... thoughts...?

Some are ready to pay a kidney just for the look Xp

@@surronzak8154that’s me lol

Ha yeah just misspoke. Went back and looked at the script and even wrote packing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah sorry! Please leave a comment correcting what was wrong so our viewers can learn 🤘🏽
