Like its ever-so-slightly longer-travel brother, the 32 F100 RLC, the 2009 Fox 32 F80 RLC has been improved yet again. The improvements begin with the chassis, the steerer, fork crown, and stanchions. These tubes are each optimized and lightened for their specific travel. The F80 has thinner walls than the F100, which has thinner walls than the F120. The fork crown is new for 2009, hollow, lighter and still plenty stiff. The new lowers are quad-tapered to lean them out where there is room for lightening. And at the very bottom are lightweight post-mounts for your disc brake. For ease of maintenance and durability, there is an integrated disc brake cable guide. For those who ride with long-fingered gloves, the ergonomic lockout lever is easy to use because there's more to grab, and it's harder to accidentally move the low-speed compression or rebound settings.

The ride is just like the 2008 F-Series RLC -- only better. This light fork is considered a cross-country fork -- ideal for climbing, great for descending, tracks beautifully, and has more than enough adjustments to keep you fiddling until the ride is perfect.

The Fox 32 F80 RLC fork has 80mm of travel. The stanchions are 32mm in diameter The fork is air sprung, which is adjustable, as is rebound, lockout force adjust, low speed compression, and lockout. The lockout is activated via a lever atop the stanchion. The damper is oil in an open bath. The lowers are white with platinum decals. This fork works with quick-release axle wheels. Choose between a disc specific model with post-style mounts, or a model with both v-brake bosses and ISO disc brake mounts. 1510g (3.34lbs).
