YT Decoy with Fox 40

[TheMattieB]

Thinking of putting Fox 40 (49) fork on the bike. Any thoughts?

 

[TheMattieB]

Did a little photoshop... beastly

 

[nickfrog]

What head angle would that yield? Perhaps a touch too slack?

 

[Armeniandave]

I think maybe a little overkill but would be awesome! Probably want to swap out the rear with a coil while your at it!

 

[Dirtnvert]

Oh ya, do it. Coil on the rear and 49 set at 190. At 180 a triple is the same axle to crown as a 170 single crown

Hi !

I have the Pro Race (2019) and a FOX 40.

I would like to install the fork and I can share it with you.

BUT can someone tell me how I can reduce the travel of the Fox 40 from 2021 to 190mm?
Now it's 203mm.

I searched everything desperately but found nothing.

MUCH THANKS !

I would recommend a boxxer as they are lighter and easy to reduce the travel.

 

[snaken612]

thanks but i already have the fox 40 , and i like the kashima coat....

have a good day !

Try this video. I haven’t watched it but Neko is running a lowered fox 40 on his ebike.

 

[snaken612]

yeah i do !

but i must wait for the rim (because its 20x110 and now i have 15x110) and i want it on 190mm before i buildt it in.

Sorry for my english !!

If I’m doing my math right, a Fox 40 (at full 203mm) at 20% sag with a 27.5 wheel will actually result in a lower front end than your 29er 36 set at 160. That being said you’d actually be better off with the 49 fork with a 27.5 wheel which would result in a front end height falling somewhere in between the 160mm stock front end from 2019 and the 170mm from 2020.

hi.
here some first impressions

Looks fantastic,?? how does it ride?

 

[snaken612]

Thank you ! it goes very well in my opinion. in the evening i test it on the track!

 

[Dirtnvert]

Looks amazing!

If you need to lower the front more .. remember a 1 degree angleset headset will lower it the same amount reducing travel10 mm.

So if you can get your fox 40 to 180 mm and run a 1 degree angleset (64 HA) you will have the same front end height as stock.

Looks incredible .. I may follow suit on my 2021 decoy

Oh yeah thats great looking. How does it ride now?

After a year or 2 do you still like the fox 40? Also, those rotors are beautiful!

Looking at that picture you are using the seals hitting the crown as the bump stop.
Is that intentional ?
