Fox 38 Harshness?

Definitely more harsh in my experience compared to Zeb. But that harshness also equals more feel of the trail too. I wouldn’t say it’s too harsh, but definitely a lot of feeling is transferred to the rider. Vs the Zeb, nice and soft initial stroke in comparison. I need to play around with...

I would get an Avalanche damper vs a stock replacement from fox. He custom tunes it to your weight and style. I have one in my boxxer and it's the best damper I've ever ridden.

Thank you Rob. I’m considering it same time as winter service. And if there’s excessive air spring grease they‘ll clean that out too I’d hope. Cheers!
