The Fox 34 Float 27.5 160 CTD FIT Stealth Limited Edition Fork can and will take your bike to the next level cosmetically, but we're not going to tell you it's going to stealth-ify your riding. That's because the fork will also take your bike's control and capability to the next level, so you'll be hitting stupid speeds, big hits, and hard lines that will be anything but covert — and we have a feeling that that's just fine with you.
Like recent generations of FOX's Factory series forks, the FLOAT controls its stroke with the venerable FIT damper. The "FIT" acronym stands for FOX Isolated Technology. And, unlike a traditional open bath system, FIT means that the damper fluid is sealed in an air-tight bladder. This prevents contamination, which improves the consistency of the damper on long descents, and over time in general.
Long-time FOX riders will immediately notice FOX's Climb, Trail, Descend (or CTD) damper adjustment range, which has been improved for the 2015 model year. The Trail setting now has seven sub-settings, as opposed to the previous three. That translates into more fine-tuning of your low-speed compression, to perfectly balance support and suppleness. As ever, Climb mode provides the most damping for a near locked-out feel, with a bit of cushion for any unexpected hard hits. Descend mode provides the lightest compression damping for a plush ride, great for when it's time to fly.
The 34 FLOAT comes with refined Kashima coated stanchions, which offer reduced friction, and in turn, better small-bump compliance than the previous Kashima coat. Essentially, the gold outer layer remains the same — what has changed is the base anodizing, which results in an even smoother surface than before. This is in addition to a new, lower-friction lubricating oil, which adds to the dramatically smoother ride. In addition to the friction reducing benefits, Kashima coating is harder than standard stanchion coatings. This equates to a longer wear life and greater durability overall, as well as more supple suspension action.
The 34 chassis remains essentially unchanged moving into the 2015 model year, which is a good thing. After all, this platform was built from the ground up to provide an ideal blend of stiffness and lightweight for use on the modern generation of incredibly capable trail bikes. The massive tapered steerer tube and 15mm QR thru-axle assembly lend it plenty of stiffness, even when faced with hard braking and rough terrain.
The 2015 FOX Racing Shox 34 Float 27.5 160 CTD FIT Stealth Limited Edition Fork accommodates a 27.5-inch wheel only, has a 1.5-inch tapered steerer tube, and employs a 15mm thru-axle.
