What exactly is “E Bike Tuning” on a set of Fox Forks?!?

[Nifty 56]

And finally, I only noticed these differences after testing the newer ebikes that were coming with them. Like the Yeti 160e, Megawatt etc… that was the kicker for me, and then I realised they were all running the e-tuned version.

As soon as I rode another bike (Kellys Theos) that didn’t have one I noticed pretty much straight away… felt more harsh.

IMO the e-tuned… it’s the best Fox fork they’ve made.

I've been looking at a new set of Fox forks for a steel HT build I'm doing now. I have a pair of Fox 34 Rhythm in my basket but noticed, yesterday, that they are 'E-MTB Tuned'.

Your comments @Rob Rides EMTB confirms that they are better but will they be OK on a steel hardtail? Just bought a pair and will see

Hi Rob, thanks for that info.
I have just received a new factory 38 170mm 29 fork. I ordered it thinking it was the standard version but it turns out it's the ebike version that has arrived. I intend to use it on my analogue bike. I tend to ride pretty steep and technical trails eg Tweed Valley and Dunkeld in Scotland. I wonder if you think the standard version would be better for this type of riding or just keep the e-version. I'm not too heavy (about 75kg kitted up) so the lighter compression tune of the e-version might even be better from that point of view but I would want to loose out on mid stroke support on very steep trails.
Thanks for any advice,

Kris

I have a pair of the Fox 34 'E-MTB Tuned' forks on my Cotic Bfe Max HT and they work great. The only problem is they are that good you feel every bump, rock, etc, on the unsuspended rear.
