Go ahead and get that manicure Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІР‚Сњ your fingernails are now safe.Р”Р‡OXР“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІвЂћСћs Terralogic platform uses an inertia valve to eliminate bob yet respond to bumps. Braaap!Р”Р„ll that plus: The new, exposed air valve cap is much easier to open. Compared with the VANILLA, last yearР“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІвЂћСћs TALAS had about 20 percent more mechanical friction. The new TALAS is also plusher, thanks to premium seals and a nicely finished steel shaft (which has less friction than the old aluminum one). FOX hopes thatР“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІвЂћСћll speed the transitions between climbing and ripping. In 90 degrees of sweep you get three distinct settings: 100mm, 120mm and 140mm. Instead of the click-wheel of fortune, TALAS II uses a little blue lever. FOX found most people rode their TALAS forks all the way up or all the way down, with some riders setting their forks somewhere in the middle, but no one was thinking РІР‚Сљ12 clicks in for this climb, six clicks in for this singletrackРІР‚Сњ and writing the numbers on their stems. The original TALAS gave riders two inches of adjustment at 3 mm per click Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІР‚Сњ thatР“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІвЂћСћs a lot of clicks. The FLOAT, TALAS and VANILLA all get bumped up from 130mm to 140mm of travel. This increases fore-aft stiffness Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІР‚Сњ the fork is less likely to bend and change your geometry over bumps and under braking Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІР‚Сњ and it reduces creaking. The new crown is thicker and has much more overlap with the stanchions. This way, the torsional forces help hold the axle in place. To counteract this tendency, the new dropouts face forward. As riders step it up, so does FOX.Р”Р‡OX engineers said strong brakes tend to make axles walk out of standard vertical dropouts (wheels arenР“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІвЂћСћt falling out, but they are shifting a bit). It handles braking and cornering forces much better, and itР“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІвЂћСћs built to handle more aggressive jumps, drops and other fun stuff.

The new lower casting (the fork legs and arch) is about twice as strong as before. The new 32-mm lowers look a lot like the 36 lowers, only with quick-release dropouts.

How massive braking forces twist forks, how big hits affect castings and, of course, how to wring maximum strength from minimum mass. A tad heavier than air forks, but the plushest.Р”Р‡OX engineers learned a lot when they developed their 36 freeride and 40 downhill forks. A bit lighter and plusher than TALAS.Р”Р€2 VANILLA Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІР‚Сљ Coil spring.
