Alongside the new Manitou Mezzer PRO, these bigger and burlier forks have made us ask whether stiffer forks are better. Of course, we mean the two suspension giants FOX and RockShox who have both released their new 38 mm platforms to complement their existing 35 and 36 mm enduro offerings.
This year, instead of small evolutionary steps, some brands have taken a giant leap. Yes, there have been small revisions to some of the leading forks, but there has been nothing groundbreaking. For the last 2 years, it’s fair to say that not a lot has happened on the mainstream suspension fork scene.
