E-bike specific fox 36 anyone ride and compare to standard 36??

[Gray squirrel]

Experimenting with offset on 160 mm forks wondering if anyone tried the new e-bike fox work 36 how does it compare to the regular fox 36

The ones i have ridden definitely feel stiffer.

In a good way or harsh way hopefully more precise steering feel

44 or 51 offset on fox 36 not sure if it's s choice on e bike specific model

I was just on the Fox dealer portal and all off the Ebike specific 36s are listed at 51mm

What are you recommending for your levo costomers if they upgrade to 160 go with e-bike specific or standard 36?

The Eeb 36 is just a 36 with thicker stanchion walls and 34 internals so in all aspects other than stiffness comparing it to a 34 makes more sense.

don't worry about offset. it's just this/last years purple

I have a transition sentinel with 44 offset but have not compared on same bike back to back I know all the fact about differences thicker stanction,solid crown etc but I wanted to see if anyone did back to back runs to feel it

I own 7 mtbs
Every one has a different fork offset.
it makes fuck all difference switching from one to another.
Don't stress about it.
you'll adapt to any... and if it wasn't for marketing depts. throwing the notion of different offsets at us for the last couple of years I'd bet you wouldn't even have known what fork offset you have.

Go and find a ruler/measuring tape.
You're stressing about 6mm difference

I hear u?

Standard, it’s just less complicated when it comes to buying internals for rebuilds

It seems to me that the new Marzocchi Bomber is the same as the EMTB versions of the 36 in terms of extra material, or is it actually different? I.E its marketed as being stiffer than a 36 with more material in the crown and stanchions. Basically the same fork?

Sort of, yeah
Spoke to the Fox rep about it this week.
I was initially kinda excited about the prospect of a modern coil Z1. Especially from my lack of maintenance, fit and forget rose tinted POV. But alas it's nothing like a Marzocchi fork. Basically a coil 34 with 36 lowers (with the pointless heavymetal inspired "M" arch) and 36 CSU (but with the thicker walls). not a bad thing if that's what you're after
But what really put me off was the weight. it apparently weighs the same as a BOXXER
