Fox Shox Interbike 2013

Mark Jordan with Fox shows us the new offerings for 2014 that include the 34 Talas 160 fork, the Float X CTD shock, the 40 Float RC2 dowhill fork, the DHX RC4 shock, as well as a couple of prototype shocks in the works.
The 34 Talas 160 fork features a new Talas system which is the same as the Float Air system with the Talas travel adjuster on top. It allows you to adjust the travel on the fly and adjust total travel internally. It also has the CTD travel adjust damper that features 3 on the fly low speed compression settings and 2 micro adjustments for the middle setting, 15 QR and is a great lightweight, all around Enduro fork.
The Float X CTD is a new Enduro, All Mountain specific shock that has the CTD adjuster with 3 on the fly low speed compression settings and 2 micro adjustments for the trail setting, 2 damping circuits, Kashima coating and an extra reservoir for dual damping circuits.
The 2014 40 Float RC2 is their first air downhill fork that features air spring with Ti negative spring, a compression adjuster to move the piston up and down, RC2 damper with adjustable high and low speed compression on the top and adjustable rebound on the bottom. For 2014 it has a complete new chassis with a redesigned crown for weight reduction, while keeping the same strength as the previous model.
The RC4 damper is a little more sensitive and reactive with a smaller shaft diameter. It also features adjustable high and low speed compression, air assist and coil spring to adjust the bike to your weight and get the proper sag.
Finally, Mark gives us a sneak peak of 2 prototype shocks, the Fox Float Air DH Prototype Shock that Mick Hannah won 2nd place at the Championships on and the Fox Prototype Coil Shock that Greg Minnaar won the World Championships on.
