Just putting this out there (and i have no real relation to BOS) is that if i was going to get ANY used fork, i would get a BOS because their life-time is much longer than a typical DH fork. 2 year service intervals instead of 8 hours... They are anodized internally and dont use any plastic parts(i think). BOS forks dont die-seriously.

This season I had a few suspension offers from reputable companies, all of them beat the BOS in terms of price, however, I chose to BUY an idylle rare and stoy shock at much more than i should have, and i am happy i did.

Its Air and open bath, what's not to love!

I am pretty sure that's an illegal goggle strap placement and discredits any recommendation regarding anything on Ridemonkey. Geez Demo, get it together... You of all people should know better.

It's a joke to post a vid of yourself without a matched up kit, that's for sure.

old italian cars are worst crap, right?

Why dont Germans make a DH fork.. it is a mystery.

Ohh I love old italian cars!
And judging by the past 50k miles, I'd call mine quite reliable. It isn't old though.

Germans actually made a DH fork once - Magura BigEgo.
IIRC it wasn't very good

Twice: Eberminator DH fork. http://www.ebersbach.org/media/Bilder/technik/bikes/eberminator/FORK3.JPG
For the time it was amazing.
The guy behind the fork also developed and patented the U-Turn system. Rock Shox licensed it.

no matter what fork you get, you should want to do maintenance on it ( i personally get stoked, almost too much stoke it gets unhealthy) when i get the bike stand out and some beers and clean/ take apart forks/ anything bike related to fix them

let me know how that BOS is.. aesthetically they are beautiful looking, i know nothing about feel/ dampening and quality of the internals exc

2 of my friends have 40s, one just snapped his arch ( front wheel got stuck in a pocket when he blew over a berm and his chest twisted the bars ) and my other friend has oil on his left leg.. but all of that is normal sh*t that happens to forks.. my friends 40rc2 ( i think thats what they are called ) is super buttery and feels great

my other friend has an 05 888 and its incredible how smooth and almost matenience free that year is.. i have no idea what the new models are like

iv always been a boxxer guy, and i had a '11 rc2c with a cracked seal head, bought a '15 charger damper, and the thing feels so damn good.. i love it every time i hit the trails..

for the weekend warrior/ park rats like myself, i would get a boxxer team and put a charger damper in there
