Been reading lots of reviews on both of these Forks in 160mm but im wondering if the extra 400$ for the Talas is worth it. I am planning on throwing these things on a 2011 Transition Bottlerocket. Im curious what anyone thinks im leaning towards the Float cause id like to save some money but is the adjustable travel justify the extra 400$? curious to hear if any one has ridden the 2011's yet tell me what you think?
Fox Shox 2011 36 Float vs Talas?
- Thread starter Bayareatrees831
- Start date
Ya i do climb but have spoken to someone who rides one and he said he messed with the adjustable for a lil while then just left it at the top cause the lower travel settings didnt help very much wondering if anyone thinks that is right or does it make a big difference.
Get the float.
Get the Float, The FLoat is smoother, and most people tend to never use the travel adjust, I knwo I don't on my Talas RLC
How do you see extra $400? There is only a $70 difference retail? I use my Travel adjustment alot 2010. Trail 110mm, Trail 130mm, Mini DH 160mm. On a Specilaized SX 4Cross.
Cool thx for the info I think I'm just ganna go for a float RLC. Matches my bike well and heard it is a great fork plus saves me some money. Man I can't wait to get this bike built up.
Really off Camber where u pick urs up I've been looking and seen TALAS for 1100 and the float for around around 800 to 875??
Just make sure your looking at the RC2 FIT and not the Open Bath.
Universal Float $975, Talas $1035
Price Point Float $975, Talas they don't have but the 180mm is $1080
I just got a New 36 RC2 FIT 180mm Float for $800 shipped (eBay)
The RC2 FIT's in all models are $50-$80 difference. Just make sure your getting what you want?

Hey thx a lot for the info bro guess the price diffrence isn't very much
Check PMs
I use the travel adjust on my Talas all the time. I have the Scott Voltage FR which also has rear travel adjust so the talas was a must. I use the 130mm and 100mm for trail riding and DJ and the 160mm for down hilling. I guess like everyone is saying, if you're planning on using the travel adjust then it's worth it.
