any changes next year internally? or in the colors?

i heard the stanchions will be a few MM bigger, this true?

 

[Lollapalooza]

I heard a rumor that they'll have 34mm stanchions (sp?) but the source isn't exactly credible.

 

[Dogboy]

Same forks as 2007. There may be some color differences on the Team/Race (or maybe not), but the World Cup is the same.

 

[Hougham]

I was just talking to Gary Mullaney (SRAM Technical Rep) about this the other day. Its as Dogboy says.

 

[Carnaza]

any photo? i haven´t found photos...

 

[profro]

However, I would be willing to say that the SRAM pilots will be on Mission Control Boxxers sooner or later.

 

[karpi]

damn, no news then about the new boxxers, I hope they step it up, in diamater or tecnology wise that is

 

[mfzbike]

man those things are pretty sick as is....easy as hell to work on and they perform.

 

[SteezyWeezy]

i think the new 888's are gonna be the fork to have next season, supposed to be lighter than the WC

 

[01yz125]

i think the new 888's are gonna be the fork to have next season, supposed to be lighter than the WC

but...it probably wont ride as nice as a wc. it sacrafice a little wieight for performance

 

[jvnixon]

Supposed to be lighter than the WC

Definitely not true

 

[bballe336]

So plush, neva bottoms!

But in all seriousness I'd be interested to see what the fork is like for 2008.

 

[nanie]

Same weight and bigger stanchions means thinner walled lowers.....

 

[rowlands]

heres the spare parts list to all the 08 forks http://www.sram.com/en/service/rockshox/view.php?catID=5&subcatID=3 not much has changed

I think some already are.

 

[karpi]

any words on blackbox boxxers and new internals?

 

[RMboy]

Hope they dont change them..think there pimp how they are...do you only get the Black WC boxxers on the WC sunday?

 

[Eren]

well ill take some pics and post them up after eurobike

 

[Jonny5]

Just ordered the vivid, out sept 1 here- yeeeha.

 

[gotboost]

how much do you pay?
which lenght is the vivid availible?

 

[Transcend]

Next years boxxers are COMPLETELY different internally apparently. That's all they would tell me.

 

[Jonny5]

The vivid seems to be pretty well priced. Only 3 sizes on this form, 240, 222 and something else... $649AUD. So maybe 400-500us?

thats seems like MAJOR ovrkill!!!

650 aud is more like 550 usd. but that seems like waay to much, so much for it being cheap and in contension with a dhx, i think this price will turn people away.

 

[Eren]

just searched google, found the vivid for 385 us

sweet wonder what that's all about... mission control I hope

 

[Transcend]

I honestly have no idea, it's just what I was told.

 

[ufdff15]

I really hope that motion control is out and Mission control is in.

 

[vitox]

...or thinner walled stanchions.

or less oil and one sided spring setups on the coil forks.

 

[Udi]

or less oil and one sided spring setups on the coil forks.

Boxxers already do that!
Or are you talking about 888's? yeah damn italians, always one step behind.

I think the biggest step forward marzocchi could make is to employ vitox as head engineer...

 

[DHS]

i was pretty sure all the boxxers, and high end single crowns are like that anyway. just one sided spring

 

[vitox]

yep yep , i was just replying to #9 & #14

 

[jvnixon]

2008 Boxxer Wc looks to be the same pretty much outside from different stickers what i've seen from a pretty reliable source.

Solo Air/Motion Control w/black box speed stack , but has updated magnesium lowers.

[Laaz]

I heared that lowers are heavier for 2008.

 

[Jonny5]

Probably a good thing

 

[jvnixon]
