Do you think the extra money for a new 07 40 would be worth it over a slightly used 06 40? Both are RC2. Besides the new FIT cartridge in the 07 40 are there any other pull factors to get a new one versus a used 06?
That is correct. I have talked to several different people at Fox and they all have told me the same thing. There is NO difference at all except for the stickers.exactly the same outside of decals
It isn't. End of story. Someone is feeding you a line.That is correct. I have talked to several different people at Fox and they all have told me the same thing. There is NO difference at all except for the stickers.
I also asked them about the bottoming out and even gave them websites that mentions this, but regardless of what I told them or showed them they all said it is still the same fork except for the decals.
Well it's more than one employee I talked to and they all told me the same thing. So I doubt they all got together and said lets tell them that the 07 is the same as the 06.It isn't. End of story. Someone is feeding you a line.
I've heard the same thing Transcend has said. Who at fox did you talk to?Well it's more than one employee I talked to and they all told me the same thing. So I doubt they all got together and said lets tell them that the 07 is the same as the 06.
Whoever you talked to has no idea what they are talking about. Fox is a big company, the bike dept. is small and is divided up into rear and front suspension. Not everyone knows what is going on in all products in the line. That, or someone is just feeding you a line.Well it's more than one employee I talked to and they all told me the same thing. So I doubt they all got together and said lets tell them that the 07 is the same as the 06.
Don't remember.I've heard the same thing Transcend has said. Who at fox did you talk to?
Thats what I had heardThat is correct. I have talked to several different people at Fox and they all have told me the same thing. There is NO difference at all except for the stickers.

dude, you misunderstood my post, maybe i just post bad i donno.for all you that think its exactly the same its not, how would you know anyway?
they made the bottom out system better, changed the damping alittle, worked on the compression, different outside look
wiat, so the choice is an 07 or a standard 06 which you plan to put a fit cart in? well, if you can get a fit cart and it ends up cheaper then go for it. but i dont think fox will be selling them.Exactly. In your mind is it worth the extra few hundred dollars or so to get a brand new 07 40 or could i get a used 06 and put a FIT cartridge in it?
isn't there a change in the seal too? supposed to use a bushing now too. doesn't the 07 also have a smaller dia cart, where the bladder is. and the bottom out is more adjustable, you can also control where it engages in the travel. more info??The newer "firmer" bottom out on the 2007 model is just a new glide ring about 8mm in diameter. The 05/06 ones are blue, the 07 is black. It has a tighter fit in the bottom out tube and provides more resistance and can be installed during an oil change.
Yeah I remember them mentioning something about that. They also mentioned if I wanted to have it adjusted that I would have to send it into them.The newer "firmer" bottom out on the 2007 model is just a new glide ring about 8mm in diameter.
