Fox 32 Float QR15 RLC

BikeRadar verdict

45 out of 5 stars

"Stiff enough, super controlled and impressively light. Our favourite trail fork for '09"

By Guy Kesteven, Mountain Biking UK

Fox’s screw-through 32 Float is our favourite 2009 trail fork. It’s not as stiff as RockShox's Maxle forks, but the new 15mm screw-through axle steers far better than Fox 32 quick-release forks.

If you count the quick-release, the 32 Float is 30g lighter than last year and easy to use too. With no travel adjust circuit to get in the way, damping is superb from new. From small stuff through to bouldery descents, the 32s stay composed and controlled far longer than anything else in the same category.

RLC damping adds high and low speed compression adjustment and blow-off equipped lockout, but it’s the 15mm axle that really makes it worth the extra over the £419 Float R.

Manufacturers description

The FLOAT trail fork, famous for its lightweight and incredible damping performance, goes under for a nip and tuck for 2009. A new crown, steerer and lower leg combine to shed weight and increase stiffness. Damping is again refined for seamless transitions for traction and cornering and the new 15QR through axle system offers incredible stiffness and steering precision. Need 5.5 inches,? FLOAT is THE choice for your light weight trail bike needs. Light, tough and looking good
